New! Invisalign Express

What is Invisalign? 
Invisalign refers to a removable orthodontic appliance that is used as an alternative to other types of orthodontic procedures, including braces. This procedure makes use of a series of clear plastic trays that are removable, and which are meant to help teeth move into their right positions. As opposed to metal braces, the clear plastic trays used in this procedure can be removed for brushing, flossing, or when you need to eat. In addition, you can also remove them if you want to attend a social event. Another great advantage of Invisalign is that they can hardly be seen even when they are in place.
What is Invasalign Express?
This is a new orthodontic procedure for people with minor crowding or spacing issues. This new procedure uses the same mechanics and principles as the ‘regular’ Invisalign, but it is also associated with faster results as well as other advantages.
Treatment options for Invisalign Express
There are two treatment options for Invisalign Express. These are:

  1. Invisalign I7: This treatment option uses 7 aligners and has an average treatment period of 3 months.
  2. Invisalign Lite

This treatment option uses 10 aligners and has an average treatment period of 6 months.
How is Invisalign Express treatment performed? 
As mentioned here above, Invisalign Express uses the same mechanics and principles as other Invisalign treatment options. The treatment starts with an assessment of your teeth and your bite pattern in order to determine whether the treatment option will be suitable for addressing your specific problem. If your dentist decides that this treatment option is suitable for you, he /she will make an impression of your teeth. Your dentist will then scan the impression using a computer, which will also calculate the necessary changes your teeth needs to undergo in order to get properly aligned. The series of trays that are custom made for your mouth is determined by the results of the calculations. During the course of the treatment, you will be receiving a new set of trays after every few weeks in order to ensure that your teeth keep moving to their new positions.
What are some of the cases that can be addressed using Invisalign Express?
Just like other types of orthodontic procedures, the suitability of this treatment option will depend on your specific case. This means that Invisalign Express may not be suitable in some cases. However, Invisalign Express can be suitable in the following cases:
