Lang Orthodontics was an early adopter for Invisalign. We’ve completed hundreds of cases, have followed its advancements and have perfected our techniques. Children and adults who once were candidates only for braces can now use Invisalign, and there are health and aesthetic benefits for people of any age, even into their 80s
The Invisalign system is a series of clear aligners each worn for a specific period of time that allow children, teens and adults to straighten their teeth without visible braces. Its often a preferred option for adults, whether they have always wanted to make improvements or if their teeth have shifted over time.
Who is a good candidate? Children and adults can be treated for underbite, overbite, protruding teeth, overcrowding, gaps between teeth and other conditions. We prefer to treat people with severe bite problems or skeletal asymmetry with traditional braces where we can fine-tune the alignment of each tooth and make adjustments to the treatment plan easily when needed.
Invisalign offers some major lifestyle advantages over traditional braces. For kids and teens who play sports, they dont have to worry about the damage to their mouths that can occur when hit by a ball or colliding with another player. Musicians can continue to play their instruments properly. The removable aligners also make it easier to brush thoroughly and floss.
