Invisalign

Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.

• Invisalign solutions use a series of clear removable appliances to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
• The appliances are made through a combination of Dr. Hoyos’s expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
• You wear each set of appliances for roughly 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• As you replace each appliance with the next in the prescribed series, your teeth will incrementally move until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Hoyos has prescribed.
• You’ll visit Dr. Hoyos about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
• Total treatment time may average 9 – 15 months and the average number of appliances worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but time and number of appliances will vary from case to case.
