Invisalign is an advanced, modern approach to teeth straightening, using a series of custom-made aligner trays. The trays are almost invisible and made of smooth, durable plastic that fits comfortably over your teeth.
About every two weeks, you move on to a new set of aligners. Each one is specifically designed to make incremental changes in the positioning of your teeth. Over time, these trays shift your teeth into proper alignment.
Invisalign is a noninvasive method for straightening your teeth, and the aligners work for people of all ages, including children and teens. It’s effective for the mildest to the most severe cases of misalignment.
Invisalign offers several advantages over metal braces. For instance, there are no metal brackets or wires that could irritate or poke the gums. The initial goal of Invisalign was to make the aligners comfortable, invisible, and removable.
The aligner trays must be worn for at least 20 hours a day for the best results.
Nukoa Family Dentistry proudly offers Invisalign invisible aligners — achieve your desired smile with the latest teeth straightening technology.
