Invisalign® Clear Braces

San Antonio, Texas

If you are tired of looking in the mirror and being disappointed by a crooked, crowded, or unevenly spaced smile, then Invisalign braces may be the option you have been looking for.

For many people, the idea of having a mouth full of metal brackets and wires is so unappealing that they would rather live life with a smile that they are unhappy with. Now, with Invisalign’s unique technology, Dr. Hale can give you the beautiful, straight smile that you have always wanted without the discomfort and inconvenience of metal braces.

Invisalign braces provide many advantages over traditional orthodontic braces, including:

• Removable – The clear plastic shells used in Invisalign can be removed so that you can eat whatever foods you like.
• Fast – Invisalign braces can usually improve your smile in less time than traditional braces.
• Comfortable – Invisalign aligners are made out of a smooth plastic, so there are no abrasions or irritations like with metal braces.
• Better Oral Hygiene – Since you can remove Invisalign aligners, you can continue with your normal dental hygiene regimen.
• Fewer Office Visits – You spend less time in the dental office with Invisalign braces because you only have to see Dr. Hale about every six weeks and the visits are fast and easy.
• Invisible – Invisalign can be used without anybody noticing.

During your initial consultation Dr. Hale will discuss your goals and will examine your teeth to determine if Invisalign is right for you. If Invisalign is your best option, Dr. Hale will make an impression of your teeth. We will send this impression to Align Technology where they use a 3D computer to create a series of shells, called aligners, which will move your teeth into the proper position.

Once the aligners are created, they are sent back to Dr. Hale who will make sure they are a proper fit for your mouth. You should wear each aligner over your teeth for 20 – 22 hours each day for a couple weeks. After an aligner has been used for a couple weeks, you will switch to the next aligner in the series.

During your visits with Dr. Hale, he will check your teeth to ensure that they are moving into their correct positions. If you lose an aligner for some reason, we will create a new one for you.
