Invisalign® Near Me in Houlton, ME

Invisalign is a proven method to straighten teeth and improve the smile. The Invisalign system uses a series of somewhat invisible or clear aligners that are relatively undetectable by others. Each aligner is custom-fabricated for your teeth and only your teeth, which means that no two patients have the same ones. As you replace each aligner, changes occur in your mouth to slowly correct how your teeth look — week by week — until they have straightened to the ideal position prescribed by your Invisalign-certified general dentist or orthodontist. Invisalign treatment is a series of nearly Invisible, removable aligners that you change every week or two weeks for the next set of aligners. There are many types of braces and orthodontic appliances that can treat crooked teeth and gums. But Invisalign is a popular and innovative solution that combines the best features of all other orthodontic appliances into one. Invisalign works by moving teeth gradually through a series of clear aligners designed to shift them just a little bit with each aligner. Over time, your teeth will move into their desired position and remain there with proper use of orthodontic retainers — all without anyone ever knowing! The average treatment time for Invisalign is about a year — about nine months less than traditional braces. This means you can reduce your treatment time by at about three-quarters of the time it takes for traditional orthodontic therapy. To summarize, Invisalign is an amazing option for anyone looking to straighten their teeth under the radar. It is quick, simple, and relatively affordable as general dentist can easily offer Invisalign. The best part is that it can be used in combination with other orthodontic treatment options such as traditional braces or other orthodontic appliances such as clear aligners with braces attachments on them. Invisalign also gives your orthodontist or dentist more flexibility for adjustments during the treatment process, and because of its removable nature it provides added convenience compared to traditional braces. They require periodic visits every two to six weeks until all brackets or buttons have been removed off of all teeth surfaces once the treatment completion occurs.
