Today, a series of clear, removable appliances can straighten your teeth.
If the thought of wearing braces is holding you back from the smile you've always wanted, there is good news. Invisalign®, a state-of-the-art alternative to braces that is virtually undetectable to other people, straightens your teeth, not with brackets and wires, but with a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners.
New computer technology makes Invisalign® possible.
Invisalign® uses the latest 3-D computer technology to create your customized aligners. Your first step is a visit to Dr. Sherman and Dr. Balhoff, who are both Align Technology certified orthodontists. Together, you will then determine what you want to correct. Then, Dr. Sherman and Dr. Balhoff will send Align Technology precise treatment instructions. Invisalign® uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions into a sequence of finely calibrated aligners - as few as 12 or as many as 48.
You'll wear each aligner for about two weeks and only take it out for eating, brushing and flossing. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will move - gradually - week by week, until they move into the final alignment that Dr. Sherman and Dr. Balhoff prescribed. Then, you'll be smiling like you've never smiled before.
Only an orthodontist can determine if Invisalign® is right for you.
To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using Invisalign®. Invisalign® is not intended for children and is not appropriate for every adult. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you. To see if Invisalign® can help you achieve the smile you've always wanted, call Dr. Sherman and Dr. Balhoff today to set up a complimentary examination.
