Invisalign Clear Aligners
A discreet, removable alternative to braces that straightens your teeth without metal brackets or wires.Straighten Your Teeth Without Anyone Knowing
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into the correct position. There are no metal brackets, no wires, and no uncomfortable adjustments. At New Image Advanced Dental in Trinidad, CO, Dr. Amy Wilson uses advanced digital planning to design your Invisalign treatment for precise, predictable results.
Invisalign is popular with adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the look and feel of traditional braces. The aligners are removable, so you can continue eating all your favorite foods and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine throughout treatment.
How Invisalign Works
Treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth. Dr. Wilson uses this data to create a 3D treatment plan that maps the movement of your teeth from start to finish. You can even preview your projected results before beginning treatment.
Your Custom Aligners
Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom aligners is manufactured specifically for you. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next set. Each aligner makes small, precise adjustments that gradually shift your teeth into alignment.
Progress Check-Ins
You will visit our office every six to eight weeks so Dr. Wilson can monitor your progress and provide your next sets of aligners. These appointments are quick and do not involve any tightening or adjustments.
After Treatment
Once your teeth have reached their final positions, you will wear a custom retainer to keep them in place. Retainer wear is essential to maintaining your results long-term. Dr. Wilson will advise you on how long and how often to wear your retainer.
