Invisalign
Invisalign is a new system of straightening teeth without the use of conventional braces. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. Moving teeth with removable aligners is not new. However, the computer program, which can generate a series of aligners with small changes is the new part. Invisalign is recommended for orthodontic situations with mild to moderate spacing or crowding. They are virtually undetectable, easy to use and comfortable to wear.

5 Steps to straighter teeth
- Come in for an appointment and Dr.Patino will evaluate your teeth and see if they are suitable for invisalign treatment and what kind of treatment plan is right for you.
- Dr. Patino will then take impressions of your teeth and then decide on a plan on how she would like your teeth to move.
- The 3D impressions and the treatment plan are then sent to a lab for the manufacturing of the aligners
- Once the aligners arrive, you can come in and start your treatment.
- Come in every 2-3 weeks to pick up your next set of aligners until treatment is completed.

It is important that you wear the aligners at all times except for when you eat, drink, wash your teeth, and clean the aligners. If you are not consistent with wearing the Invisaligns the treatment will be delayed. When you are not wearing the aligners make sure you keep them in the case because Invisaligns are clear and tend to get lost easily if not kept in their case. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and rinse your mouth everytime after eating or drinking because the aligners can get stained if sugar or food remains on your teeth. Water is ok to drink with the aligners but all other drinks can stain the invisaligns. To clean the aligners simply rinse them and use your toothbrush with no toothpaste to clean them. Remember that your consistency using and cleaning the product will result in a faster treatment.
