What Are invisible braces?

A modern approach to straightening teeth, Invisible Braces such as Invisalign® or ClearCorrect® are a series of aligners (trays) that are custom-made just for you. You wear these aligner trays over your teeth and they are smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible. As you wear the aligners, your teeth will gradually and gently shift into place in accordance with the movements Dr. Hlavaty plans for you. There are no metal brackets to attach, and no wires to tighten. Every two weeks, you just pop in a new set of aligners until your treatment is complete. Getting a great smile won't interfere with your day-to-day life. The best thing about the whole process is that most people will never know you're straightening your teeth.

The invisible braces Process

CREATING YOUR PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLAN

Dr. Hlavaty will take x-rays, pictures and a 3-D scan of your teeth, which will be used to create a digital 3-D model of them. From this model, your doctor will develop a precise treatment plan, including the precise movements of your teeth. He will also inform you of the approximate length of your treatment.

RECEIVE YOUR CUSTOM ALIGNERS

A series of precision-made, custom clear aligners is created specifically for you. These aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that won't irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces often do. Simply wear them throughout the day, and remove them when you eat or to brush and floss your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth gently and gradually shift into place.

WEAR A NEW SET OF ALIGNERS EVERY TWO WEEKS

Approximately every two weeks, you will begin wearing a new set of aligners, advancing you to the next stage of your treatment. To monitor your progress, you will also have occasional checkups with Dr. Hlavaty, usually every 4-6 weeks or so. At every stage, you will be able to see how much closer you are to having that perfect smile that reflects the real you.
