Yes Invisalign works however it doesn’t work for everyone.  To determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign, schedule a Free Smile Consultation to find out.

A large factor in the success of Invisalign treatment is Patient Compliance which means the patient must wear their Invisalign aligners 24/7 except to eat or drink.  Also the patient must come in about every 4 weeks for a check appointment to get more aligners and to make sure everything is progressing as it should.

Dr. Thompson has been treating patients with Invisalign since 2002 and has successfully treated over 125 patients using Invisalign.  At your appointment ask to see befores and afters of other Invisalign patients.  Chances are, he’s already seen a patient with your same situation and can show you pictures or even a Clincheck.(Search on clincheck in the blog to see an example of what it is)

With Invisalign, you get to see a computer generated animation of your teeth as they moved with each different aligner.  This is called a Clincheck.  So, you get to see how your teeth move with Invisalign before committing to treatment.

So, what is holding you back from getting a straighter smile?

 

What is an Invisalign Clincheck?

If you are interested in straightening your teeth, Invisalign is a terrific option for many people.  Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, plastic aligners that may remind you of a retainer. 

Invisalign is clear, removable, and comfortable.  And you get to see the results of your Invisalign treatment before you commit to the cost and time.   How do you see these results?  With an Invisalign Clincheck “movie”. invisalign-clincheck-1 

The first step in creating a Invisalign Clincheck is to schedule a Free Smile Consultation appointment so that we can determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign.  Relax, Invisalign can straighten the majority of smiles but we need to see your smile and determine what you want first.

If you are ready to move forward after your Smile Consultation we schedule you back so that we can take all the necessary records (impressions of your teeth, photos, xrays, etc) and then we send this information along with the doctors treatment plan to Invisalign. 

In about a week, Invisalign produces the Clincheck, a short movie animation of your teeth and how they will be moved with Invisalign.  You come back to our office and view this movie with Dr. Thompson.  For an example of what a Clincheck looks like, click here. invisalign-clincheck-1

After the Clincheck is produced you will see what Invisalign will do and how long it takes before you have to financially commit to treatment.
