Clear Braces

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign is a revolutionary alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of BPA-free, clear plastic aligner trays to straighten and align your teeth comfortably.

Invisalign is an extremely effective teeth alignment treatment for most people, and can be used during teen years all the way through adulthood. During your initial Invisalign consultation, Dr. Kang conducts a comprehensive exam to evaluate whether the Invisalign aligners are a good fit for you.

How does Invisalign® work?

Invisalign aligners are custom-made and tailored to fit your mouth. Dr. Kang makes an impression of your mouth and designs a treatment plan that uses a series of aligners that incrementally shift and rotate your teeth into the desired position.

Over the course of your treatment, you will normally use a new set of aligners every couple of weeks. Each new set of aligning trays will gradually shift your teeth, bringing you closer to the smile you’ve always desired.

Your Invisalign aligners fit snugly over your teeth and are virtually invisible. These aligners are removable, but for best results, you should wear them for 20-22 hours a day to maximize your results.

What are the benefits of Invisalign®?

Invisalign offers numerous benefits as a form of clear braces, especially when compared to metal braces. Invisalign aligners are:

• Nearly invisible: Many people may not even notice that you’re wearing them
• Removable: You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, so you don’t need to worry about any dietary restrictions
• Comfortable: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners don’t irritate your gums and cheeks the way metal braces can
• Easy to maintain: Since they’re removable, you don’t need to maneuver around metal brackets to floss and brush

How long will my Invisalign treatment take?

The length of your Invisalign treatment depends entirely on the severity of your case. Dr. Kang will work closely with you to decide how long your Invisalign treatment should last to achieve the best outcome. On average, you can expect a 12-month treatment period.
