Invisalign®
Invisalign® is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth; and there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.
Many of Dr. Elliott's patients had never considered traditional braces but are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign®.
Invisalign uses incredible three-dimensional computer imaging technology to create your aligners. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Elliott can determine if Invisalign is right for you. The examination enables him to develop precise treatment instructions. Invisalign uses their cutting-edge technology to translate his treatment plan into a sequence of finely calibrated aligners - as few as 10 or as many as 40.
Patients wear each aligner for about 2-3 weeks, removing it only for eating, brushing and flossing. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will move gradually, millimeter by millimeter, week by week, to the final stage of alignment that Dr. Elliott prescribed.
Dr. Doug Elliott has been recognized as an Invisalign Premier Provider, placing him among the top five percent of Invisalign practitioners in North America. Each year, Align Technology, Inc., the inventor of Invisalign, a clear, removable method of straightening teeth without wires and brackets, will award Premier Provider status to a select group of Invisalign practitioners in the U.S. and Canada. To qualify, doctors must demonstrate an exceptional level of Invisalign experience and meet rigorous Invisalign clinical education requirements.
