Invisalign®

If you have ever been told Invisalign is not for you, we encourage you to come and speak with Dr. Shenkarow. Her dedication, experience and sense of esthetic has resulted in extremely happy patients pursuing Invisalign treatment with successful outcomes!

Dr. Shenkarow is a Certified Platinum Invisalign Provider

Consider Invisalign treatment to straighten your teeth without braces. A consultation with one of our doctors can determine if Invisalign clear aligners are right for you. There are no wires or brackets so you will have confidence with your smile during and after treatment.

What is it?

Invisalign treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after. Dr. Shenkarow will digitally customize your orthodontic treatment in a modern, precise manner and provide a series of unique trays made just for you.

Why would I want it?

Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem and there are almost no emergency appointments. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal or wires, which also usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign treatment allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Most people won't even know you are having orthodontics done.

How does it work?

You wear each set of aligners for about one week, 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 their final positions. You'll visit us about once every twelve weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Less complex treatment ranges from 6-12 months. More complicated cases could be 18-24 months.
