Introducing Invisalign® — The Straightest Way to a Great Smile
Some patients prefer a less noticeable approach to treatment than traditional braces. Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth.
Clearly Different
The Invisalign® System combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign® aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign® is right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, Invisalign® uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners -- as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually -- week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!
Invisalign® Teen
High school is hard, smiling shouldn’t be. Invisalign® Teen is the clear alternative to braces. No need to feel self-conscious about attending prom, taking school photos or other day to day activities. Since the Invisalign® Teen aligners are removable, you may take them out as needed as long as you are wearing them the prescribed number of hours each day. As an added bonus, you can remove the aligners and eat whatever foods you want and brush and floss with ease. Dr. Baum was a pilot doctor when Invisalign® Teen was in development and became the first teen provider in our area, including all of Fairfield County.
As a result of Dr. Baum’s dedication to providing the best care for his patients, he has been able to attain Premiere Invisalign® status. This means Dr. Baum will be able to treat more difficult cases, more effectively, using Invisalign®. He has already successfully treated many patients that other dentists said were not good candidates for Invisalign®.To see if Invisalign® can help you achieve the smile you've always wanted, contact us to make an appointment.
