Is Invisalign For Me?

A lot of people have heard of Invisalign, but have you ever wondered what it really is, or how it works?  The doctors at Coastal Carolina Orthodontics are the most experienced Invisalign Doctors in the area, and have used this appliance to create beautiful smiles for lots of patients, INCLUDING A RECENT MISS NORTH CAROLINA!

So, what is it? 
Invisalign is an appliance for moving teeth made out of a clear plastic material.  The clear trays, called "aligners," are custom made to fit your teeth and produce tooth movements prescribed by the doctors at Coastal Carolina Orthodontics.

How does it work? 
To create the aligners, an impression is taken of your teeth and shipped to Invisalign. The impressions are then used to create a 3D digital model of your teeth.  Using this virtual model our doctors will prescribe the needed tooth movements to correct your crowding or bite.  Small movements of the teeth are accomplished with each aligner, so multiple aligners are needed to complete the full treatment.

Who Can Have Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign and Invisalign Teen are great for certain types of tooth movement and bite corrections and for some patients they are a good alternative to braces.  Only an orthodontist with as much experience as our doctors can accurately tell you if Invisalign will be right for you.

There are many other companies that try to copy the Invisalign process, but they don't have the same record of success.  Invisalign is the exclusive clear aligner appliance we use at Coastal Carolina Orthodontics.
