Invisalign

Wearing metal braces is unattractive and uncomfortable. When teeth need to be straightened or repositioned, Fairfield, CT dentist Dr. Rudolph recommends Invisalign treatment as an alternative to metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is a state-of-the-art orthodontic procedure developed by Align Technology that offers teeth straightening treatments using clear, plastic mouth trays to painlessly move crooked teeth into their proper positions. Because you are able to remove your Invisalign, you have the unique ability to consistently maintain good oral hygiene while straightening your teeth. Unlike metal braces that are glued to teeth and cannot be removed until the treatment is completed, Invisalign trays can be easily removed so that teeth and gums can be thoroughly cleaned.

Invisalign also works to eliminate gaps or spaces between teeth or crowded teeth that are overlapping each other. Dr. Rudolph begins an Invisalign treatment plan by first assessing the extent of misalignment and determining whether the patient would be a good candidate for Invisalign. Using computer software to plan and develop multiple Invisalign tray aligners that initiate movement of teeth, Dr. Rudolph can show you exactly how your teeth will move until satisfactory results are accomplished. In addition, Dr. Rudolph will take a digital impression of your mouth to be sent to a laboratory where technicians will fabricate customized Invisalign trays.

Every two weeks, Dr. Rudolph gives patients a new Invisalign tray to be worn 22 hours a day. Each new tray offers different dimensions that exact precise forces on teeth to effect movement according to the plan devised by Dr. Rudolph. Fabricated from transparent, hypoallergenic, plastic compounds, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible.  Comfortable, pleasant to wear and effective, Invisalign aligners are giving people the straight, healthy teeth they desire without suffering the discomfort and embarrassment of wearing metal bands and wires for several years.
