Dr. Erickson and Dr. Aamodt are Certified Invisalign® Providers
Consider Invisalign® to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted – without braces. A complimentary exam with Dr. Erickson or Dr. Aamodt can determine if “invisible orthodontics” is right for you.
“Invisible Orthodontics”…What is it?
The Invisalign® system utilizes a series of removable clear aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are comfortable and virtually “invisible” so it’s difficult for others to even notice you’re wearing them; you can smile more during treatment as well as after! This particular type of treatment does however have certain limitations so not all patients are good candidates. Dr. Erickson or Dr. Aamodt will help determine whether an adequate treatment result can be obtained for you with this system. In some cases, a combination of aligners and braces can be used to achieve treatment goals.
Why would I want it?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want (with aligners removed) while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem since there are no brackets or wires to get in the way. In addition, they are comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during aligner treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. When you start you can even see a virtual image (prediction) of how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
You wear each set of aligners for two to three weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened towards the final position your doctor has prescribed. You'll visit Dr. Erickson or Dr. Aamodt about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
