What Is Invisalign
Your InvisalignⓇ clear aligners are custom-made for you. The aligners are virtually invisible and fit snugly over your teeth. Invisalign is one type, and the most well known, of clear aligners that are now available.
Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly, moving them horizontally and vertically and even rotating them when needed. Your aligners are engineered to use the right amount of force in the right place at the right time.
When you change to the next set of aligners your teeth gradually move into position, following a custom treatment plan mapped out by Dr. Gilbert.
Intraoral Scanners
We are proud to offer intraoral scanning at our office. Digital intraoral scanning eliminates the uncomfortable process of getting impressions! iTero and Medit scanners digitally capture the contours of the teeth and gums with high precision while still maximizing comfort.
A full mouth scan can be done in less than 5 minutes and provides Dr. Gilbert with all the necessary information to make appliances, clear aligners like Invisalign, and retainers.
With our scanners we can also leverage the technology of the outcome simulator. This will give you a visual representation of what your teeth could look like after completing orthodontic treatment.
