Can Invisalign straighten my teeth?




If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you are probably wondering whether Invisalign will work for you! Invisalign is a series of removable clear plastic retainers called aligners that can straighten your teeth WITHOUT BRACES!! A new set of aligners is placed every 2 weeks and your teeth slowly get straight over time. Invisalign is able to handle most situations involving any type of crowding or spacing of teeth and can be used on teens as well as adults!

The process starts with impressions of your teeth which are then digitized with a special software to help create an extremely acurrate image of your teeth in their current position. Next, the sofware allows Dr. Souris to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of treatment to the end. A computerized movie of your tooth movement is then created which allows Dr. Souris to visualize the planned treatment and give his final approval. Finally, a series of customized aligners are then created just for your teeth. You then progress through each set of aligners until your teeth reach their final position. Since the aligners are virtually invisible, nobody around you will even know you are straightening your teeth. Imagine that...STRAIGHT TEETH WITH NO BRACES!!

Dr. Souris is a preferred provider of Invisalign and was one of the first certfied in northeast Ohio to use this ground breaking technique!
