Invisible Braces

Q: Can you tell me about alternatives to metal braces?

A: Yes, the Dental Group of Amarillo has special training in Invisalign®. This clear, removable alternative to traditional metal braces is convenient and practical for adults. The process involves creating a series of aligners that, when worn regularly, will gradually straighten teeth without metal or wires.

Q: How does Invisalign® work?

A: Invisalign® uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position. From these images, a lab tech will create a series of custom-made aligners that will move teeth incrementally. Each aligner should be worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved. Visit invisalign.com for more information.

Q: What are the primary benefits of Invisalign®?

A: Because Invisalign is transparent, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. It's also convenient and comfortable. You can eat and drink what you want and brush and floss normally. There are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation, and you spend less time in the doctor's chair because adjustments are not required.
