Invisalign® offers clients who want to change their smiles discretely a number of unique benefits. While traditional braces are fixed and have to be worn for an extended period of time, Invisalign® is comprised of a series of removable, clear retainers. These retainers gently alter your smile over time, so you can have the smile you’ve always wanted without the discomfort associated with tight wires and sharp brackets.

While Invisalign® retainers need to be worn full time, you can take them out to eat and brush your teeth. This way, you don’t have to stress out about getting food stuck in your braces or discoloring your brackets. Each retainer is typically used for two weeks. After this period of time, it’s important that you begin wearing the next retainer given to you. Once you run out of retainers, you will need to make an appointment with Dr. Lach. This is so he can check up on your progress, and tailor the new set of retainers to ensure that this progress continues.

Doctor Lach creates each patient’s set of Invisalign® retainers using sophisticated 3D computer imaging technology. Using this machine, Dr. Lach can assess the current state of your mouth and simulate the way different shaped retainers will affect it over time. This takes the guesswork out of creating Invisalign® trays and ensures that you’re working towards the smile you want as efficiently as possible.
