Traditional
orthodontic
treatment
typically
involves
the
use
of
metal
braces
that
are
continually
adjusted
over
an
extended
period
of
time
to
correct
certain
functional
and
cosmetic
dental
issues.
Dr.
Walrond
provides
alternatives
to
traditional
orthodontic
treatment
for
obtaining
both
cosmetically
and
functional
straight
teeth
necessary
for
maintaining
proper
bite
and
occlusion.
Instant
Orthodontics
(the
use
of
custom
designed
porcelain
veneers)
and
the
Invisalign
System
are
popular
treatment
choices
for
those
who
wish
to
avoid
the
inconvenience
of
long
term
treatment.

Beautifully
Straught
Teeth
- No
Metal
Braces |
|
With
Invisalign,
Dr.
Walrond
is
able
to
give
you
the
beautiful
straight
teeth
you've
always
wanted.
It
works
through
a
series
of
invisible,
removable,
and
comfortable
aligners
that
no
one
can
tell
you're
wearing.
So
you
can
smile
more
during
treatment
as
well
as
after.
Invisalign
has
been
proven
effective
in
clinical
research
and
in
orthodontic
practices
nationwide.
The
technology
has
become
so
much
of
a
treatment
standard
that
over
70%
of
U.S.
Board
Certified
Orthodontists
are
now
providing
it
as
a
alternative
treatment
to
traditional
metal
braces.

| How
It
Works: |
|
|
- You
wear each set of aligners
for about 2 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 the
final position your
orthodontist or dentist
has prescribed.
- You'll
visit your orthodontist
or dentist about once
every 6 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.

The
Invisalign
System
uses
advanced
3-D
computer
imaging
technology
to
transform
the
bite
impressions
Dr.
Walrond
has
made
into
a
custom-made
series
of
clear
and
removable
aligners.
There
may
be
as
many
as
48
in
the
series
or
as
few
as
12,
depending
on
your
individual
treatment
plan.
You'll
wear
each
set
of
aligners
day
and
night
for
about
2
weeks,
removing
them
only
to
eat,
drink,
brush,
and
floss.
You'll
visit
with
Dr.
Walrond
only
about
every
4
weeks
to
ensure
that
your
treatment
is
progressing
as
planned.
