Invisalign is an amazing new technology that allows patients to have orthodontic treatment without traditional metal braces. Dr. Julie Ko-Kim is the Invisalign provider in our office. |
Instead of brackets, wires and rubber bands, the patient wears a clear
plastic aligner similar to a thin, light weight mouth guard which is practically
invisible when worn. These aligners gently move teeth into beautiful alignment
over the course of about a year.
Treatment usually begins with an initial diagnostic visit with Dr. Ko-Kim.
At that time invisalign treatment will be discussed and the expected course
of treatment will be explained. Treatment begins with a set of impressions
of your teeth and photographs. At subsequent visits, you will receive
your aligners. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks. As you
progress through the set of aligners, your teeth will be gently moved
into their final position.
You wear the aligners all day, except for eating and dental hygiene. Because
they are lightweight and clear, they go virtually unnoticed. Invisalign
is an amazingly easy, comfortable, and effective way to a beautiful, straight
smile.
