Invisalign

Orthodontic Associates of Southeastern CT is an Invisalign Premiere Provider! We invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation where our Doctors can determine if Invisailgn is right for you.

What is Invisailgn?

Invisalign straightens your teeth without brackets and wires by using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. They are virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you're straightening your teeth!

How does Invisalign work?

Our Doctors will utilize 3D computer imaging technology to design an individualized series of finely calibrated aligners. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks - removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss - while the teeth move incrementally. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position prescribed.

What do aligners look like?

Aligners are clear and nearly invisible. If you've ever seen clear tooth-whitening trays, that should give you a good idea of what the aligners look like. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit and move your teeth.

Will the treatment be painful?

Each time you change to a new aligner, there may be some temporary discomfort while your teeth adjust to their new position. This is completely normal and is a good sign that the treatment is working.

Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech?

Some people are affected more than others, but most adjust in a short period of time to the feeling of the aligners and do not have permanent changes in their speech.

How often will I have to wear my aligners?

Invisalign only works while you're wearing the aligners. It's recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush and floss your teeth.
