Invisalign
Dr. Arigo is a certified Invisalign® provider
Consider Invisalign® to get the beautiful smile you’ve always
wanted - without braces. A complimentary consultation with
Dr. Arigo can determine if Invisalign® is right for you.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® uses a series of invisible, removable aligners that
no one can tell you’re wearing. So you can smile more during
treatment, as well as after. Invisalign® is made using 3-D computer
technology, and has been proven effective.
Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so
you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Also, you
can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
There is no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And
no metal and wires usually means less time in your doctor’s office
getting adjustments.
How does Invisalign® work?
You wear each set of 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 the final position. You’ll visit Dr. Arigo once
every 4-8 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Total treatment time averages 9-16 months depending on the severity of
the case.
