Invisalign®
Drs. Simon, Haerian and Ludwig are some of the most experienced certified Invisalign® providers in Northwest Ohio/Southeast Michigan.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners. These aligners are invisible to other people. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective.
The benefits of Invisalign
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. With no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment, many find Invisalign to comfortable to wear. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Once your aligners are fabricated, Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan. You can view a projection of how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does Invisalign work?
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to the final position Drs. Simon, Haerian and Ludwig have prescribed for you. You'll visit our office about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
