Many of our adult and teen patients choose Invisalign® for orthodontic treatment. Using this revolutionary system, you can straighten your smile without anyone even knowing.
Dr. Behl is a Platinum Plus Provider of Invisalign, so you can rest assured that your smile is in good hands!
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, customized aligners to gradually shift your teeth over time. Curious about the process? See below for the Invisalign® treatment process so you can see how it’s done!
As a Certified Provider of Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen®, you can be confident in our orthodontists’ ability to straighten your smile using this treatment option. During your consultation, we will discuss your case in detail to determine if you are good candidate for Invisalign®. You will also be able to ask questions about Invisalign®, costs, insurance and any other concerns you may have.
We will take digital X-Rays and impressions of your teeth which Invisalign® will use to create a digital 3D image. From these images, we’ll be able to map out a precise treatment plan to achieve our goals. Using this technology, our orthodontists will be able to show you a virtual representation of how your teeth will move in each stage of treatment. While every case is different, the treatment time for most adults is about a year. For teens, the length of treatment is similar to braces.
Based on the customized treatment plan we create for you, a series of custom-made, clear aligners will be fabricated. These aligners are made of smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that are comfortable to wear. Simply wear them throughout the day and remove them to eat or brush and floss your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place.
Approximately every two weeks, you will begin wearing a new set of aligners, advancing you to the next stage of treatment. To monitor your progress, you will have occasional check-ups with your orthodontist, usually every six weeks. For best results and speedy outcome, you should wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day, throughout your treatment. At each stage, you’ll be able to see how much closer you are to achieving a beautiful smile.
