What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually reposition teeth. Each set is carefully designed to make incremental adjustments, guiding your smile into proper alignment over time.
Digital planning plays an essential role in this process, often utilizing dental technology such as iTero scanning to create precise, customized aligners without the need for traditional impressions.
What Invisalign Can Address
Invisalign is suitable for a wide range of alignment concerns, offering both functional and aesthetic improvements.
Common concerns treated include:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Spacing or gaps between teeth
- Bite irregularities, including overbite and underbite
- Shifting teeth following previous orthodontic treatment
Each plan is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a personalized path toward a more harmonious smile.
