Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear way to straighten teeth without traditional metal braces, using aligners. Aligners are made of clear, thin medical-grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn.

There are both cosmetic and health benefits to properly aligned teeth. Invisalign cannot only give you a more cosmetically pleasing smile but also benefit your overall health. Teeth that are not aligned properly in your mouth create a malocclusion. When left untreated, malocclusion can lead to gingivitis, gum tissue and bone loss, premature tooth wear or fracture, and jaw joint pain.

Dr. Carrie Borchardt & Dr. Ada Toraño works directly with the Invisalign laboratory to create a series of clear custom aligners that gradually move your teeth. You wear each set of aligners for a period of 2 weeks and visit Dr. Carrie Borchardt & Dr. Ada Toraño for evaluation every 6 weeks to check your progress. Completed treatment time will vary depending on the complexity of your case, though the average treatment time is one year. Dr. Carrie Borchardt & Dr. Ada Toraño would be glad to evaluate your specific case with a complimentary evaluation visit.

Benefits of Invisalign:

• Nearly Invisible: You can straighten your teeth without anyone having to know.
• Removable: You can still eat and drink what you want.
• Better Oral Hygiene: You can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth during treatment.
• Well aligned teeth last longer and are easier to clean
