INVISALIGN: 21st Century Computer Assisted Orthodontics

Gone are the days of metal wires and brackets to move teeth- welcome to the hi-tech world of  INVISALIGN orthodontics. The process is relatively simple- the doctor will take several impressions of your teeth along with an x-ray and send them to AlignTech corporation in California. There the models of your teeth are uploaded digitally to a computer and a technician simulates orthodontic tooth movement.
From that point a computer assisted design ( CAD) machine will create clear plastic trays that are changed every two weeks to slowly and gently move your teeth into a brand new smile! In addition to moving your teeth the trays can be used to whiten the teeth by using any number of professionally dispensed bleaching gels ( Zoom!, LumiSmile etc) so you can maximize the beauty of your new smile. Invisalign is true 21st Century dental care- ask your dentist or orthodontist for more information. You are going to enjoy not wearing braces! Find out more: http://www.invisalign.com/
