Invisalign & Retainers
Invisalign is a new system of straightening teeth without the use of conventional braces. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. Moving teeth with removable aligners is not new, however, the computer program is rather new to dentistry. This computerized program generates a series of clear tooth-aligners, each of which causes gradual, incremental changes in the position of the teeth until the teeth are straight. The clear aligners are virtually undetectable, easy to use and comfortable to wear.
Invisalign is recommended for orthodontic situations with mild to moderate spacing or crowding.
For cases that require more significant tooth movements, Dr. Keen may decide to refer you to an orthodontist, who is a specialist in tooth movement.
