Hinsdale Invisalign

Do you wish you had straighter teeth, but hate the look of conventional metal braces? Straighten your teeth the invisible way with Invisalign!

Dr. Karen Blair, a Hinsdale cosmetic dentist, is also certified in Invisalign invisible braces. Invisalign is a revolutionary way to straighten your teeth by using a series of clear aligners. No one will be able to tell you are wearing them, because they are truly invisible.

A molding is taken of your mouth which is then used by a computer to generate a clear tray which fits into your mouth. This tray puts pressure directly on specific teeth encouraging them to naturally move towards their corrected position. Each tray is worn for approximately two weeks, after which another tray is created and placed.

A patient wears each tray over a period of six to twelve months to achieve a beautiful, straightened smile. Compare the Invisalign method to traditional metal braces which can take up to three years to achieve the same desired look.

There are many advantages to using Invisalign:

• Invisalign is invisible.  Invisalign uses clear aligners to move your teeth naturally into position.
• Invisalign is faster. Metal braces would require a patient to wear them for a span of up to three years! Today, patients can smile confidently in as little as six months.
• Invisalign is comfortable.  Gone are the days of having to wear harsh and abrasive metal to achieve straight teeth. Each tray is custom-made to fit your teeth without the use of sharp wires or spacers.  Plus, they are removable, so you may even take them out when you eat.
