Invisalign®

Lifepath Dental & Wellness offers several types of retainers and braces to correct misaligned and crooked teeth, including Invisalign Invisible Braces. Our dentists have treated thousands of cases requiring braces. Our clinic is pleased to offer Invisalign Invisible Braces: a clear, convenient, and nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces.

The treatment duration for Invisalign is similar to traditional braces. Even more exciting is Invisalign Teen, which now offers a clear alternative for patients as young as 13 years old. If you are interested and are considering straightening your teeth, book your consultation with our dentists.

Traditional teeth are straightened using appliances such as wire braces. Wire braces have a reputation for being uncomfortable and unattractive. Patients also report that food gets trapped in the brackets and wires and that they are typically hard to keep clean. Traditional wire braces can also cause plaque to accumulate and the tooth decay process to speed up.

Although traditional orthodontics using wire and brackets are still recommended in some complex orthodontic cases, we want you to know that there is an alternative that answers all of these challenges.

The Invisible, Clear, Removable Orthodontic Treatment

If you or a family member are considering orthodontic treatment, but you are worried about the appearance of traditional wire braces, you might find that Invisalign is the solution you’ve been looking for. The Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into ideal alignment. They make it easy to continue brushing and flossing your teeth like you regularly do. Additionally, hardly anyone will notice that you are straightening your teeth as the aligners are virtually invisible! The good news is that with the Invisalign system, you don’t have to stop eating all the foods you love. This includes such foods as popcorn, chips, bagels, hard-crusted bread, pizza crust, pretzel, nuts, carrots, corn on the cob, and more!

Invisalign’s clear and comfortable aligners gradually move your teeth into the proper alignment. Did you know that you are allowed up to 2 hours per day to remove them?

What are the Invisalign Aligners made from?

Your Invisalign aligners are a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners which are created specifically for your orthodontic situation. They are made from of a smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks and gums as traditional metal braces can.

All you need to do is wear your Invisalign aligners throughout the day and remove them when you eat or brush and floss your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually begin to move into position. Since the aligners are virtually invisible, you’ll be surprised that most people have not even noticed that you are wearing them!

  • Overly-Crowded Teeth
    Over-crowding of teeth can lead to plaque accumulation, tooth decay, and an increased chance of gum disease, in addition to crooked teeth. If left untreated, overly crowded teeth can get worse over time. The good news is that this kind of crowding can be treated with Invisalign.
  • Spaced Teeth
    Too much space between teeth can often be treated using Invisalign. The spacing between teeth not only looks unattractive to some people but can also lead to gum problems. Without the normal protection of the teeth, periodontal pockets can accumulate plaque and can generally increase the risk of periodontal disease.
  • Crossbite
    Crossbite means that the upper and lower jaws are not properly aligned. This can lead to abnormal tooth wear and chipping and periodontal problems, including gum disease and bone loss. Again, Invisalign is a viable treatment option for crossbite, depending on your situation.
