Dr Emerson is an experienced provider for Invisalign®, the state-of-the-art orthodontic technique to straighten teeth without the use of ugly, uncomfortable brackets and wires. Invisalign® instead uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners designed to gradually and sequentially move teeth to their desired positions. This technique allows tooth movements to occur with a high degree of control and a “slow and steady” approach that often allows completion of treatment in a shorter time than conventional braces and with a high degree of comfort during treatment. Surveys of patients who have had Invisalign® used to straighten their teeth indicate a very high level of patient satisfaction.
Today Invisalign® is often the orthodontic treatment of choice for cases of mild to moderate and sometimes even extreme crowding or spacing problems. Invisalign® works great for orthodontic relapse patients—that is—persons who had braces in the past but experienced some shifting or crowding teeth again because retainers were not continued. Invisalign® is often the technique preferred by adults, young and older, who want or need to correct their crooked teeth, but don’t want to have a mouthful of braces showing during treatment.
Straight, well aligned teeth and a good balanced bite are very important to ensuring your long term dental health. Contact our office for a free consultation to see if Invisalign® could be used to improve your health and boost your self esteem.
