Invisalign
Minneapolis, MN
Clear aligners (often referred to as the popular brand name Invisalign) are used to straighten teeth without the use of conventional braces. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. In our office we use a brand of clear aligners called Clear Correct and it is recommended for orthodontic situations with mild to moderate spacing or crowding. They are virtually undetectable, easy to use and comfortable to wear.
Achieve Straighter Teeth In Just 6 Months.
Approximately 300 million people face the challenge of having misaligned teeth. Luckily, there is a simple solution available. At Aesthetic Dentistry & Implants, we offer Invisalign as our preferred method for straightening teeth, suitable for all age groups.
Invisalign is a great choice for those who want to avoid the inconvenience, discomfort, and time commitment associated with traditional metal braces. This highly effective approach uses a series of clear, customized aligners to achieve excellent results.
Be cautious of trendy mail-order teeth alignment kits and their extensive marketing materials. The alignment of teeth is an important matter that should always be supervised by a dentist. If you have any questions, we are here to provide honest and transparent answers to help you make the best decision.
Who qualifies as a suitable candidate for Invisalign?
Many people can benefit from this aesthetic procedure. However, the key factor often depends on your ability and willingness to follow the treatment plan. Ask yourself, "Can I commit to wearing my aligners for 22 hours every day?"
Is Invisalign an option for teenagers?
If your teenager is dealing with underbite, overbite, overcrowding, or gaps, Invisalign is a highly effective solution. However, some adolescents may struggle to wear their aligners for the recommended 22 hours daily. In such cases, traditional braces might be a better alternative.
