  What is Invisalign? Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, nearly undetectable, removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. It has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. (Also Patty at our office says ‘it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread!â€) How does Invisalign work? You wear each set of aligners for about 2-4 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Dycus has prescribed. You will visit us about once every 6 to 8 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case. Why Invisalign? Invisalign can help you get the great smile you’ve always wanted because it’s… 1. Invisible, so no one can tell you are straightening your teeth. Now you can smile proudly during treatment as well as after. 2. Removable, so you can eat drink what you want while in treatment. In addition, it makes brushing and flossing a cinch. 931-528-7977__________________________________________________________________________________ Richard W. Dycus, D.D.S., M.A.G.D. |
