Why Invisalign
While many people choose to live with crooked teeth thinking the only adverse effect is esthetic, it’s important to note that there are additional health concerns to consider as well. A crooked or misaligned bite places uneven pressure on your teeth and jaw making you more susceptible to damaging the teeth that take extra wear and tear, and an increased potential to develop TMJ disorder. No matter what your age or lifestyle, it is important to have an aligned bite that will help you maintain dental health for life.
Invisalign clear braces offer a teeth straightening option without the hassle of traditional braces. When you want to create a better smile, it seems irrational to make your smile worse before it gets better. Traditional braces are bulky, painful, and a metallic smile doesn’t help anyone to look or feel their best. Traditional braces also limit the types of food you can eat, and require extensive oral hygiene.
Invisalign is a great option if you want to share your best smile from the first day of treatment. The clear, custom alignment trays gently shift your teeth, and no one will even notice. The alignment trays are switched out for new ones every few weeks until your teeth are straight. No orthodontic visits for tightening wires. In addition to fewer dental visits most patients report experiencing less discomfort with Invisalign when compared to traditional braces. Because Invisalign is removable, you don’t have to give up any of your favorite foods while you correct your bite. Simply remove your correcting tray during meals, and replace after.

How Does Invisalign Work?
Consultation
- Invisalign uses a series of removable, custom, clear plastic aligners to incrementally reposition your teeth.
- The Invisalign method requires a series of dental impressions to be taken to first determine the optimal position of your teeth. These impressions and photographs can be taken during your initial consultation.
- Dr. Kirk will create a 3D digital projection of how your teeth could be realigned in stages. This projection forms the basis for developing a series of custom fabricated clear aligners which can accomplish that movement.
Fabrication
- Invisalign aligners are manufactured at the Invisalign dental labs using stat-of-the-art computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology.
- The finished aligners are then sent to Dr. Kirk, who will dispense them in groups of one or two at a time during regular progress monitoring appointments (about once every four to six weeks).
Treatment
- Each aligner must be worn in its specific order for about two weeks, for at least 20 hours per day. Your teeth will be moved in increments of about .25 millimeters to .33 millimeters at a time.
- Your aligners will be easily removable for eating, drinking, brushing, flossing, or for special occasions.
- A typical Invisalign treatment requires 20 to 30 aligners for both the upper and lower teeth, with most treatments taking no longer that a year. However, treatment times do vary from patient to patient.
