Invisalign

If you want to straighten your teeth but are worried about the conspicuousness of traditional braces, Invisalign® offers the perfect combination of orthodontics and aesthetics. Here's how it works:

• Using Invisalign®'s 3-D computer imaging system, Dr. Russell will create a series of customized, clear aligners that fit easily over your teeth. You will change your aligners approximately every two weeks for about a year as they gradually straighten your teeth and align your bite.
• The aligners are removable, comfortable, and virtually undetectable. You can take them off while brushing, flossing, and eating, making it easy to maintain good oral hygiene.
• You will see Dr. Russell once every six to eight weeks to check on your progress, receive a new set of aligners, and make any necessary adjustments. Over the course of the treatment, which takes 11 months on average, you will achieve the straight, vibrant smile you've always wanted.

Invisalign® isn't for everyone, but it has proven to be a highly effective method of realigning teeth, even in severe cases. It is especially popular among older teens and adults who want a subtle alternative to traditional metal braces. Talk to Dr. Russell to determine if Invisalign® is the right choice for you.
