The Invisalign system uses a series of clear, custom, smooth plastic aligners to gently move your teeth to their ideal positions. Invisalign aligners are comfortable and nearly invisible!
We invite you to contact us at Highland Creek Family Dental East or South to learn more about Invisalign clear aligners in Lafayette, Indiana, and to schedule your consultation with our Invisalign-certified Dentists, Dr. Shane T. Cope and Dr. Melinda Bodine. During your initial visit, we will determine whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.
This treatment is often a good choice for adult patients and others who are interested in a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment. In addition to being discreet, Invisalign aligners are very comfortable because they are custom-made from smooth, thin plastic. The aligners are removable as well, which allows you to easily remove them as needed to eat, brush and floss.
Invisalign and the Invisalign logo, among others, are trademarks of Align Technology, Inc. Rather than using metal brackets and wires like traditional braces, the Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made, computer-generated plastic aligners to straighten teeth.
Each set of aligners is designed to make small changes to the alignment of the teeth. As you switch sets of aligners about every two weeks, your teeth will gradually and gently move to their proper positions. You will also visit our office on a regular basis during treatment to make certain that your smile is progressing as planned. In general, Invisalign aligners can be used to treat the same orthodontic issues that are normally treated with braces.
