With this type of clear aligner system, you don’t have to wear conventional metal “train track” braces. You can inconspicuously straighten your smile with these removable and comfortable aligners. ClearCorrect® aligners are made of high-quality polyurethane that resists cracking and staining.

The fact that ClearCorrect® aligners are removable is a tremendous benefit. Imagine being able to eat what you want without having to worry about food particles getting stuck between teeth and archwires. Maintaining your oral hygiene routine is a snap as well.

Invisalign consists of a series of several clear aligners custom fit to your teeth and smile, with the ultimate goal of improving the alignment of your teeth. Invisalign is often an ideal course of care for patients with gaps, bite problems, or slightly misaligned and crowded teeth.

Most patients come to us aware that Invisalign can improve the look of their smile, correcting crooked and misaligned teeth. We like to let our patients know that the benefits go far beyond that—and into improving function.

When should orthodontic treatment be started?
Whether you’re a teen or a senior, you’re never too old to begin orthodontic treatment. However, if you start at a young age, your problems may be easier to correct. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child who may require orthodontic treatment should come in for an initial consultation at about 7 years of age.

How can I recognize a potential bite problem?
If you have teeth that are protruding, crowded, or erupting out of position, these are clear indications that you need treatment. If your teeth don’t meet correctly when the mouth closes, or if jaws make sounds or shift as they move, this may also indicate an orthodontic problem.

How long will treatment take?
The length of treatment varies from person to person, but generally, the active stage of treatment (i.e., when wearing braces or other appliances) may take from 6-30 months. After that, a retainer is worn for at least several months or longer to maintain your results.
