What is Invisalign®?
- Invisalign® is the invisible and comfortable way to straighten your teeth without braces.
- We use a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
The Invisalign® process has been proven effective in clinical
research and in orthdontic practices nationwide. However, only certified
dentists like Dr. Schott can undertake this procedure.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth
will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened
to the final position Dr. Schott has prescribed.
You'll visit us about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Total treatment time averages 11 months and the average number
of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both
will vary from case to case.
The aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Schott's expertise
and 3-D computer imaging technology provided by the Invisalign company.
