Ask Dr. Rey: Is Invisalign® right for me?

If you've ever wondered how Invisalign's clear aligners can move your teeth in the same fashion as traditional braces, keep reading.

Part of what makes Invisalign really "work," is that the treatment is customized for each patient. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment at Rey Orthodontics, the first thing we do is to take an impression of your teeth and digitize it. Using special software, Dr. Maria Rey looks 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! The best thing about Invisalign? Nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Serving Washington D.C., Bethesda, Silver Spring (MD) and Arlington (VA), Dr. Rey is a Certified Invisalign® Provider in Washington, DC. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Rey can determine if Invisalign is right for you. We encourage you to give us a call at 202-436-5432.
