You have an innovative new alternative to braces: Invisalign. This treatment involves wearing clear plastic aligners over your teeth to align them over time gently.
It’s best to wear the aligners for at least 20 hours per day, but they can be removed for easy eating and teeth cleaning. Wear the Invisalign aligners any time you are not eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth.

Dr. Ming may recommend an alternative treatment if you have major orthodontic and alignment issues. The best way to find out if Invisalign is right for you is by scheduling an appointment.
First, your teeth need to be examined by Dr. Ming to see if Invisalign is the ideal choice for you. He might either make physical impressions of your teeth or create 3D images of them using a digital scanner. With these, Dr. Ming will be able to form an individualized treatment plan that suits your specific needs.
Next, Dr. Ming fits your teeth with customized clear, plastic aligners. The aligners will gradually move your teeth into their proper positions as you wear them. As your teeth move, new aligners may be made to continue progress. At the end of this process, your smile will have its new shape!
Call Heritage Dental or book an appointment online today to talk to Dr. Ming about straightening your teeth without unattractive, uncomfortable braces.
