Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign can be the "Clear" choice for you! 


Some people have a hard time believing that clear plastic trays can move your teeth like traditional braces. 
The science behind tooth movement is a consistent light pressure to cause changes in the periodontal ligament.  These small changes in the ligament will allow the crown and root of the tooth to move into a new position.  With Invisalign, each plastic clear tray moves your teeth a small amount just like braces and wires. 

Here at Bales Orthodontics, we utilize technologically advanced treatments to get the best results possible. This means that our patients now have more options when it comes to achieving the smile they have always wanted.

Invisalign aligners are removable, which will allow you the freedom to remove them when you eat, clean your teeth, or for a special occassion. 

Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks and it is imperative that you wear them for 22 hours a day in order for  the teeth to move properly.  As a patient, you will receive 3-4 sets of aligners and visit our office every 6-8 weeks until your treatment is finished.  The aligners are very comfortable and your end result is the same as if you had traditional braces! 

The Dr Tom and Dr Katie Bales are Elite Providers for Invisaign, which means they are the top local provider in Marin and Sonoma County.

  1. During first evaluation, dentists will helps to determine if Invisalign® is a good option for you. Dentist then design a treatment plan and take tooth impressions, from which Invisalign® will develop accurate, personalized tooth-straightening devices, called aligners. Aligners slide directly over teeth and are replaced every two weeks as teeth shift into place. Depending on case, invisalign need to wear them full-time (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 24 months. No longer than to wear traditional metal braces—and see the dentist about every six weeks for check-ups.

  2. I have to admit that I do care about my appearance and I don't like metal braces...so the idea of wearing metal braces was terribly scaring me, and I just refused for so many years to wear braces.invisalign arizona
