Invisalign

Dr. Ingraham is a certified provider of Invisalign, a clear way to straighten teeth without braces.

The Invisalign process uses no wires or braces. Instead, your teeth are straightened gradually, using a series of customized, removable appliances called aligners.

3-D computer graphics are used to generate 18 to 30 clear aligners. They're designed to move your teeth in small steps to their ideal position, as prescribed by Dr. Ingraham. Each aligner is calibrated to fit your mouth at each step of the treatment.

Each aligner is worn for about two weeks. You can take them out to eat and to brush and floss your teeth, so they’re very comfortable. You'll visit us every 8-10 weeks for a checkup. Treatment time averages 6-15 months, and no one will be able to tell you're working on a great smile!

Invisalign isn't for everyone. It's only for adults and very mature adolescents with minimal straightening needs. Make an appointment for a consultation today to talk to Dr. Ingraham and see if Invisalign is right for you.
