Invisalign® Clear Braces in Houston TX
A Certified Invisalign® Provider
As certified Invisalign® providers in Houston, Dr. Larry Rose and Dr. Ross J. Pulver are your best bets for a beautiful smile without the inconvenience of bulky and obvious braces.
Everyone who wants to have their teeth straightened should consider Invisalign® to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted—without braces. A complimentary consultation with our Houston orthodontist can determine if Invisalign® is right for you.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® uses a series of comfortable and removable aligners. The best part? No one can tell you're wearing them. So, you can have a beautiful smile during treatment as well as after. Invisalign® was developed as an alternative to their bulkier cousins, metal braces.
Invisalign® is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to treat with Invisalign®.
Why would I want it?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. There are no nooks and crannies for food to hide out in.
They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign® also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
You wear each set of aligners for about two 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 to their final positions. You'll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
