Want great results from your orthodontic treatment? Choose Invisalign in San Mateo

If you wish your smile was straighter, there is a discreet way to undergo orthodontic treatment. Invisalign helps adults have a beautiful smile without years of traditional braces. Traditional braces use wires and brackets that are extremely visible. With Invisalign, no one will even know that you are straightening your smile. Many of our patients who are considering Invisalign often do so because they are looking for a more discreet alternative to conventional methods.

Invisalign treatment uses clear aligner trays. The trays are worn for two weeks before being swapped for the next set. As you wear the trays, they gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment. The trays must be worn around 20-22 hours each day, but can be removed for eating and brushing teeth.

With Invisalign you get real results and the following benefits:

Trays are Invisible

Traditional braces are highly visible. With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth without compromising your appearance. The trays are clear and smooth, ensuring they are difficult to discern when speaking and smiling with others.

Trays are comfortable

Wires and brackets can irritate the mouth and cause sores. Invisalign aligner trays are made from BPA-free, smooth plastic to make them comfortable and easy to wear.

Trays are Removable

Patients are free to take the trays out to eat and clean their teeth. Traditional braces leave lots of places for bacteria that are hard to reach with a toothbrush and many patients experience tooth decay during treatment. With Invisalign, you can stay on top of your oral health.

And finally, Invisalign straightening is flexible

Traditionally, orthodontic patients are told to avoid a long list of foods, including some favorites such as gum, nuts, and popcorn. With Invisalign, you can remove the aligners and enjoy these foods in moderation without messing up your braces. This makes many of our patients happy, knowing they don’t have to give up foods they love just because they are improving their smiles.

Invisalign Cost

Depending on the condition of your teeth, you may require fewer or more number of trays and your Invisalign treatment can last from six months to year and a half. The treatment cost can range from $2500 to $5000.

Invisalign treatment can often be completed in less time than traditional braces.
