Invisalign Philadelphia

in Philadelphia, PA

When you want straight teeth but don’t want the brackets and wires that go along with traditional metal braces, Invisalign braces align your smile in the most discreet way possible.

At our Dentistry for Life office in Philadelphia Invisalign is offered to patients who qualify for this type of orthodontic treatment. As certified and experienced Philadelphia Invisalign providers, we create beautiful smiles for our patients using invisible aligners.

Besides being nearly invisible, Invisalign differs from metal braces in methodology. Unlike metal braces that move tooth crowns and then tooth roots, Invisalign moves crown and root simultaneously, allowing for faster treatment time.

One of the hallmarks of Invisalign is to consistently and gentle move only a few teeth at a time until your entire mouth is in alignment. As for your part in this endeavor, following the rules of Invisalign is critical to the success of your treatment:

• Wear Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, every day.
• Remove Invisalign for all meals and snacks.
• Only drink water while wearing Invisalign to avoid the risk of staining the aligners.
• Clean teeth and aligners thoroughly before snapping the aligners back in place.
• Change your aligners about every two weeks, or according to your customized Invisalign plan.
• See us every six weeks to have your progress checked and pick up new aligners.

Before any orthodontic treatment can begin, patients need to qualify as an Invisalign candidate and that begins with a thorough exam at sour office. During this examination we take 3D images of your mouth and examine your teeth and bite. If it is clear that you will benefit from Invisalign treatment, we will develop a complete, customized Invisalign treatment plan.
