Ask Dr. Collins: Is Invisalign® for me?

Part of what makes Invisalign really "sing" is that clear aligners are customized for pretty much anyone's mouth. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing Dr. Collins does is take an impression of your teeth and digitizes it. Using special software, he looks at the current positioning of your teeth and compares it to the way your teeth should look.

Next we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your pearly whites. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. The best thing about it all? No one around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Jeffrey Collins is a certified Invisalign provider in the greater Denver area. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment at Parker Orthodontics, please give us a call.
