Invisalign is a treatment for aligning crooked teeth using clear removable aligners that fit over your teeth. When you wear them, they are not noticeable.

Ben and his assistant, Carol, have experienced Invisalign and can vouch for how “invisible” their aligners are.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

The most common question we get is how long does treatment take. Guy Spears tells us about his experience, commenting on treatment time.

Treatment time varies

With the complexity of the misalignment – really wacked out or not so much
How fast an individual’s teeth move

How Are Invisalign Aligners Made?

First, your teeth are digitally measured

Next, we work with Invisalign software to design the treatment plan
All the treatment aligners are created at the beginning of treatment
One can estimate treatment time based on the number of aligners
Each aligner is worn for twenty two hours per day continually for two weeks
For ten aligners, treatment will take about twenty weeks
Certification training for us and our team is mandatory
New techniques may reduce treatment time and improve the process

Who Is A Good Candidate For Invisalign?

Most people with misaligned teeth and willing to comply with the treatment plan
Often, someone who had previous orthodontics but failed to use their retainer
Children, including Ben’s son, can be treated with Invisalign
Dentists determine compliance as there is a tell tale blue dot – no cheating please!
