What is Invisalign?
-
An invisible way to straighten your teeth without metal
braces.
-
A series of removable, strong, clear plastic aligners, that
gradually guides your teeth into perfect position.
How does Invisalign work?
-
Wear each set of Aligners for about 2 weeks. Remove only to
eat, drink, brush and floss.
-
Your teeth will move gradually each week until they have
reached their prescribed final position.
-
Visit Dr. Hoffmeyer every 6 weeks to ensure that your
treatment is progressing as planned.
-
Total treatment time averages 6-18 months, but will vary
from case to case.
-
Average number of aligners is between 18 and 30, but will
vary from case to case.

What is the procedure?
-
Visit Dr. Hoffmeyer for a consult and getting impressions,
photos
and x-rays of your teeth
-
The information is sent to Invisalign who makes your
Aligners. Advanced 3-D computer imaging technology
transforms your dental impressions into a custom-made series
of clear and removable aligners.
-
You receive your Aligners in a few weeks.
-
You wear each Aligner day and night for about 2 weeks.
You’ll visit Dr. Hoffmeyer about every 6 weeks.
-
You’ve finished wearing all your Aligners and achieved the
planned smile. Dr. Hoffmeyer will make retainers to secure
your beautiful smile.
-
Additional fees may have to be charged if you do not wear
your aligners all of the time because new impressions and a
new set of aligners may be needed.
