If you’ve often thought of getting braces to straighten your teeth, but don’t want the hassle of tradition metal braces and brackets, Invisalign aligners may be just right for you.

Whatever your reason, you can have the straight smile of your dreams with Invisalign from the Dallas, TX, dental office of Dr. Drew Vanderbrook and Dr. Joanne G. Hoppe.
Step-by-Step with Invisalign
The first step on the road to a straighter smile with Invisalign is a 3D computer image of your teeth. With this same technology, you’ll see how your teeth will move and you’ll even been able to see what your smile will finally look like. Then, your personalized treatment plan is formulated. Based on this individual plan, clear Invisalign aligners are produced just for you. As the name suggests, these clear, plastic aligners are practically invisible and won’t irritate your cheeks and gums.
Your Role in Straightening Your Teeth with Invisalign
Your job is simple: wear your aligners throughout most of the day, easily removing them to eat, brush and floss. You’ll change out each set of aligners for your upper and lower teeth every two weeks until your teeth are straight and beautiful. The entire treatment process usually takes anywhere from six months to about two years. During that time, we’ll see you every couple of weeks to monitor the progress of your treatment.
