What Are Invisalign Aligners?
Invisalign aligners are thin, custom clear trays that gently move teeth into better alignment. Each set applies light, controlled force to specific teeth based on a personalized plan. Because the trays are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your usual brushing and flossing routine.
When Is Invisalign Recommended?
Invisalign treatment is recommended for teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Dr. Walter Winfrey evaluates your bite, oral health, and goals to determine if clear trays can achieve the desired outcome.
- Mild to moderate crowding or spacing.
- Minor overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite.
- Relapse after previous braces.
- Patients who prefer a removable, low-visibility option.
Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners
- Nearly invisible trays for discreet wear.
- Removable design for easy eating and cleaning.
