Is Invisalign® Really Customized for Each Patient?

Yes, it is, and that’s part of what makes it work. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing we do is to take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. Using special software, we look at the current positioning of your teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look.

Next we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. And since the aligners are virtually invisible, nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Birth is a certified Invisalign provider. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, give us a call at 866-515-9226.

Why Adult Orthodontics?

Many adult patients are reluctant to get orthodontic treatment even if they are self-conscious about their teeth, thinking it is too noticeable or only for children and teenagers. However, we offer a range of options in adult orthodontics and braces at our Fort Worth, Arlington, and Burleson locations, which can correct alignment quickly, effectively, and inconspicuously.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® is a popular choice for adult patients requiring braces or other orthodontic treatments. Our Fort Worth, Arlington, and Burleson offices provide these invisible braces. Invisalign® uses a series of custom-fabricated clear aligners designed to gradually and comfortably shift your teeth into their proper positions. Invisalign® allows you to maintain your lifestyle with a minimum of inconvenience by simply removing the aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing. Invisalign® aligners are so unobtrusive most people won't even know you're wearing them! Contact our Fort Worth, Arlington or Burleson locations for more information about Invisalign®.


Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are a natural-looking alternative to metal braces. Because the brackets are composed of translucent ceramics, they blend in with the natural color of your teeth -only the attached archwire can be seen, minimizing the impact on your appearance. Many adult patients receive orthodontic treatment with ceramic braces at our Fort Worth, Arlington, Burleson offices, as these kinds of braces are generally difficult to detect.

A beautiful, healthy smile is within reach for patients of all ages. If you would like to learn more about adult orthodontics or braces at our Fort Worth, Arlington, and Burleson locations, contact our orthodontic offices today to schedule a free consultation.
