Invisalign®
Invisalign® in Northampton, MA
Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment involving a sequence of clear plastic aligners used to move teeth step by step into the desired position. This is an alternative to metal braces that are popular with adults and teenagers because it’s less obvious but also comfortable. Invisalign® aligners are precisely made to fit snugly over the teeth and can be easily removed for eating, drinking or brushing. This therapy is suitable for individuals with mild to average orthodontic problems like crowding or spaced teeth, overbites, underbites and cross-biting.

How do Invisalign and braces differ from each other?
Invisalign and traditional braces are used for teeth straightening, but they have different approaches to achieving their goals. Invisalign relies on a set of clear plastic aligners that gradually move the teeth to the target position, whereas traditional braces utilize metal systems attached to them and wires. Invisalign is almost imperceptible and can be taken out, eaten, and brushed comfortably. In some cases, a patient should choose between Invisalign and braces depending on their individual orthodontic requirements as well.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign is a widely used orthodontic method with numerous advantages compared to regular braces. Some of the benefits of Invisalign include:
- Discreet appearance: Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic that is nearly invisible. This means you can have your teeth straightened without anyone noticing.
- Comfortable: The aligners are plastic and smooth, without brackets or wires that can cause irritation.
- Removable: Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, thus allowing ease in maintaining good oral hygiene throughout the treatment period.
- Effective: Many prevalent mild to moderate orthodontic issues like crowded or gapped teeth, overbite, underbite and crossbite can be effectively treated with Invisalign.
- Fewer office visits: Invisalign treatment needs fewer office visits compared to traditional braces, which can be more convenient for patients with heavy schedules.
