Invisalign Clear Braces
Do you want straighter teeth without the immature look of metal braces? Manoa Dental Care is proud to offer patients the latest in teeth straightening technology: Invisalign clear braces.
FDA approved Invisalign is the "invisible" way to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable, custom-made aligners to reposition teeth. Because patients remove the aligners before eating and drinking, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing and brushing. Invisalign technology is also more comfortable, because it doesn't cause the mouth abrasions associated with metal braces.
Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to design the complete treatment plan, from the initial teeth positioning to the desired final positioning. This 3-D imaging allows you to preview the final positioning of your teeth before you start treatment. Custom-made aligners are created based on the imaging information. Each of these aligners moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks. Typically, you will visit your dentist once every six weeks for "progress reports."
Invisalign has been helping adults get the smile they always wanted. With a straighter, more attractive smile, you will experience:
- Increased self-confidence
- Better oral hygiene
- Improved bite (reduced headaches and grinding)
Treatment time varies from patient to patient and is largely dependent on the patient's habits. For optimal results, the trays should be worn 22 hours per day. In most cases, Invisalign treatment is completed in about half the time of traditional orthodontics.
If you're ready to smile with confidence then give us a call to schedule your complimentary consultation. We'll be glad to answer any questions you may have about Invisalign or our other cosmetic treatments. Dr. Keri Do and Dr. Malcolm Choy provide patients in the Honolulu and Manoa areas with exceptional care for all phases of adult dentistry.
