[GLENVIEW, 09/15/2017] – Glenlake Dental Care offers Invisalign — removable aligners that gradually fix misaligned teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires. These aligners are made of clear, strong, medical-grade plastic, which is not visible when worn. They look like custom-made tooth-whitening trays.

Invisalign aligners move teeth by applying timed, controlled force. In certain stages of the treatment plan, the aligners apply force only to particular teeth. The series of aligners provide a more efficient force delivery system.

3D Imaging Software and Invisalign Express

Glenlake Dental Care uses 3D imaging software to devise a patient’s entire treatment plan, from determining the teeth’s initial positions to projecting their final, desired positions. The plan is used as a basis for the custom-made aligners.

To make treatments more efficient, the clinic also offers Invisalign Express. It treats mild alignment problems like minor crowding and spacing. Patients will only have to undergo Invisalign Express treatment for less than six months.

Convenience of Invisalign

Invisalign aligners from Glenlake Dental Care allow patients to eat or drink comfortably, unlike traditional braces. The absence of metal wires and brackets also causes less mouth irritation, and patients would need to visit their dentists less often.

Since the aligners are removable, patients can also brush and floss easily to maintain oral hygiene. In addition, the aligners are clear — they are practically invisible when worn.

Because the treatment is divided into stages, Invisalign patients can also keep track of their treatment plan.
