The doctor analyzes your teeth digitally and plots movements to be executed in the Invisalign trays. At Graber & Gyllenhaal Orthodontics, we are able to integrate a three dimensional photographic scan of your teeth with three dimensional radiographic imaging of the bone surrounding your teeth. This allows us to plan on tooth movement that not only improves your smile, but can position tooth roots in a healthier position for your gums. Instead of bending wires to move teeth, the doctor programs for the aligner material to change. Each clear tray shifts your teeth along the plan, moving them horizontally, vertically, and even rotating them. Invisalign is prescribed by the doctor and then custom engineered to use the right amount of pressure in the right place at the right time to successfully align your teeth with minimal discomfort. If discomfort is worrisome to you, ask us about Acceledent® or Propel V-Pro 5® micropulsers as an adjunct to further minimize the feeling of tooth movement.

During your Invisalign treatment, you will regularly change to the next set of aligners—usually every week or two. Each set of aligners is designed to move your teeth closer towards your final smile, following the custom treatment plan mapped out by Drs. Graber, Gyllenhaal, and Stache. You will visit the office every four to ten weeks to check progress and make sure everything is on track.
