Invisalign® in Canton, MI

The Invisalign system makes straightening teeth more accessible, convenient, and comfortable. Custom medical-grade plastic trays precisely fit your teeth, encouraging them to move to optimal positions.

The process begins with a consultation. Your orthodontist will help you choose the best orthodontic treatment. If you choose Invisalign, the orthodontist will first use the iTero intraoral scanner to create a 3-D digital model of your mouth.

Using this model, the orthodontist designs your new smile, pinpointing how each tooth will move. They create a series of aligners to guide each tooth into position over time.

When the aligners arrive from the lab, your treatment can begin. Your orthodontist will check the trays' fit and make sure your aligner is comfortable. You will wear each for about one to two weeks, then return to Advanced Orthodontics to change to the next in the series.

For proper effect, you must wear your aligner for 20 to 22 hours daily. Take the aligner out only to eat, drink, and care for your teeth. In a matter of months, you will have a beautifully even smile.

• Comfort. Invisalign fits flush against the teeth and gums. After you become accustomed to the trays, you may forget you are wearing them. The aligners have no sharp edges, wires, or brackets to irritate your mouth.
• Discretion. Braces are highly effective, but they may draw unwanted attention. Older teens and adults appreciate completing their orthodontic treatment in private.
• No Food Restrictions. The trays come out when you eat and drink, so you can have nearly anything you want. Simply clean your teeth and the trays before replacing them.
• Improves Oral Health. Patients with Invisalign enjoy better gum health than patients with braces. Braces can make it challenging to keep your gums and teeth clean and free of food and other debris. After treatment, patients maintain better oral health because straighter teeth are far easier to keep clean.

• No untreated tooth decay or gum disease
• Excellent oral hygiene practices
• Patients whose permanent teeth have emerged
• Orthodontic issues ranging from minor to complex
