If the prospect of a mouth full of metal has prevented you from seeking out important orthodontic treatment, then we may have the perfect option for you. Our Boulder cosmetic dentists offer Invisalign treatments as an alternative to traditional braces.

Invisalign treatment consists of a series of clear plastic aligners. Each aligner is custom-made to meet the unique characteristics of your mouth. You will wear each one for approximately two weeks. As your teeth gradually shift, you will switch to the next aligner in order to continue the treatment.

Invisalign is an ideal treatment to correct:

• Gapped teeth
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Crowded teeth

Invisalign offers you several advantages over traditional braces. Most importantly, the aligners are invisible, so your friends and family won't even notice that you are wearing them. Invisalign treatment is also completed in a shorter time period than traditional orthodontic treatments. The retainers are removable, so you can take them out when you are eating, brushing your teeth, or attending special occasions. Since the aligners are made with smooth edges, you will not experience the irritation typically associated with traditional braces.
