Invisalign®
Dr. Chang Is a Certified Invisalign Provider
Get the beautiful, straight teeth you've always wanted — without braces. That's the advantage of Invisalign.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that fit over your teeth. No one can tell you're wearing them, so you can smile more during treatment.
How Does Invisalign Work?
You wear each set of Invisalign aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. 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 their desired position. You'll visit Dr. Chang every 6 weeks or so to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case. Invisalign aligners are made with 3-D computer imaging technology which has been proven effective for orthodontic treatment.
Why Would I Want Invisalign?
Not only are the aligners invisible, but they also are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
