What is Invisalign, and is it for you?

Invisalign is the brand name of a revolutionary and innovative way to straighten teeth. A sequential series of clear plastic aligners similar to bleaching trays are utilized to gradually straighten teeth as an alternative to traditional metal or ceramic braces. Invisalign aligners are switched out in the series about every two weeks. The number of aligners in treatment varies depending on your individual needs. Each aligner is custom-made with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. Since the Invisalign aligners are custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised specifically for you by Dr. Tanner or Dr. Reichhold, you will end up with a smile that truly fits you.
If you're ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Invisalign treatment in our office may be your answer. Although there are many choices out there, no system other than Invisalign works as effortlessly in our opinion. We believe Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life!
