It is no secret that a great looking smile contributes significantly to one’s self-confidence. Aligned teeth, and an optimal bite play a significant role not only in how your smile looks, but also in the digestive process.
Over the years, many advances have been made in orthodontics. For younger patients, who are less compliant, and cases that demand significant attention, braces have always been suggested, and successful. However, braces do lack certain appeal, most commonly among growing adults, professionals, and are often considered “for children.”
Fortunately, Invisalign® technology provides an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign® consists of a series of custom-made clear aligners that are switched about every two weeks in order to shift your teeth precisely into their desired positions. Dr. Kamel will tailor the aligners according to your specific treatment plan using specially developed computer software.
The advantages of the Invisalign® system are effectiveness, comfort, and clarity of the aligners. The clear aligners can be easily removed for meals, brushing, and flossing; making them a convenient alternative to braces. Furthermore, so long as oral hygiene is maintained, there are no restrictions as to what you can eat, in contrast with the presence of brackets and wires in conventional braces. Invisalign® is safe, and aligners contain no Bisphenol-A.

Invisalign® is also a preferred alternative to braces for individuals who have previously had orthodontic treatment, and have had some teeth shift since having braces removed.
Invisalign® is an affordable, clear, orthodontic treatment option that is becoming more common among many patients. Invisalign® is effective among a variety of cases, including crowded teeth, spaced teeth, crossbites, overbites, and underbites.
