Clear Aligners for Adults and Teens in Bradford and Haverhill, MA
Invisalign offers a discreet and effective alternative to traditional braces.
Since clear aligners are nearly invisible, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing! Because the trays are removable, patients can eat and brush normally, making regular oral hygiene much easier than braces as well. With only a mild change to your daily routine, you can get started on your way to the smile you’ve always wanted.
Invisalign uses a series of customized, clear aligners to straighten teeth more comfortably and with fewer office visits than traditional braces. Given a batch of trays at a time, patients change to new trays which push their teeth to the next position from the comfort of their home, with only periodic check-ins at the office. Orthodontists worldwide use Invisalign to accurately and effectively treat their patients. Reasons why clear aligners might be best for you:
Expertise – Dr. Tom is a certified Invisalign provider for adults and teens with advanced training in techniques specific to using clear aligners
Nearly invisible – unlike bulky braces on your teeth, people in your daily life may not even know you are in treatment unless you tell them, as the trays are only visible when up close and personal
Comfortable to wear – The aligners are made from a special plastic that has smooth, rounded edges so they won’t irritate your mouth and tissues as much as traditional braces
Customized just for you – Your Invisalign aligners are customized to fit your mouth only. Dr. Tom uses cutting-edge 3D imaging technology to create an exact model of your bite and teeth, then customize each aligner to move your teeth exactly as they intend
Removable – Unlike traditional braces, you can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush your teeth, floss, and even when attending special occasions. This makes Invisalign much better at fitting into your busy everyday lifestyle!
Effective – Nowadays, Invisalign can be used to treat almost every type of case with proper planning from a skilled orthodontist, from simple crowding to complex bite issues
Protective – Clear trays coat your teeth in a protective plastic covering, making this the ideal treatment choice for anyone with clenching or grinding issues
How Does Invisalign Work?
When you begin your Invisalign treatment we will give you batches of custom fit aligners, typically with instructions to wear each aligner for 1 week at a time. After the week is finished, you then switch to the next aligner from the comfort of your home. Each aligner moves the teeth ever so slightly, and all those small movements add up to a big change by the end of the set of trays. Periodic in-office visits allow Dr. Tom to assess how the trays are fitting and ensure that the teeth are moving properly. Over time you will notice changes in the alignment of your teeth and in just a few months you will have a straighter, healthier smile!
How Long will Invisalign Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies greatly depending on the complexity of each case, typically ranging from 6 months to 2 years. Although treatment time varies, in any case you will begin noticing improvements in a matter of weeks.
What Happens after I am Done with Treatment?
You will want to keep your brand new smile looking beautiful! A final 3D scan is taken of your teeth and used to create a custom-made retainer just for you. A set of Vivera retainers from Invisalign is provided as part of the treatment fee for the top and bottom teeth. When worn nightly, these retainers will make sure your smile stays just the way you want it.
Teen Treatment
Dr. Tom in Bradford, MA is a certified Invisalign provider for teen treatment as well. Getting the smile you love shouldn’t be awkward. Invisalign is the smile you want, the way you want it.
