The Latest Trend in Orthodontics is No Braces
at All!
Adult "invisible braces" (which are not really
braces at all, but clear plastic retainers) are a new
technique for adults to obtain the results of braces
without wearing braces! This technique, which is effective
only for mild to moderate crowding, utilizes a series
of retainers (computer generated or lab constructed)
that are worn sequentially until the desired correction
is achieved.

| SEVERE CROWDING |
CROSSBITE |
| Patient's Chief Concern This 27 year old female was unhappy that her upper and lower jaws seemed to be misaligned. This caused her upper teeth to bite on the inside of her lower teeth, and she could tell it was causing excessive wear. Her doctors told her this issue could also cause gum disease and bone loss. Her Invisalign treatment lasted approximately nine months. |
Patient's Chief Concern This 26 year old female believed there wasn't enough room within her jaw for all of her teeth to fit normally. Her doctor told her that when left untreated, overly crowded teeth can cause dental decay, an increase in the chances of gum disease and can prevent the normal function of teeth. She was treated with Invisalign over the course of approximately 10 months. |

| SPACING |
OVERBITE |
| Patient's Chief Concern This 56 year old male was concerned that his teeth were abnormally spaced and very far apart. His doctor told him that while this might just seem unattractive, spacing issues in teeth can also cause some periodontal diseases. His Invisalign treatment lasted approximately 10 months. |
Patient's Chief Concern This 38 year old female was concerned that her upper teeth overlapped her lower teeth too much. Not only is this a cosmetic issue, it can lead to health problems later in life, so she was anxious to get it fixed. She was treated with Invisalign in approximately 20 months. |
