INVISALIGN

Many restorative dental procedures are not possible without orthodontic treatment, or the movement of teeth and fixing of occlusion. Dr. Linhart provides the utmost in restorative dental care and thus employs Dr. Lauren Lazar, DMD, a board certified orthodontist with years of experience to work with him to create straight, beautiful teeth. Dr. Lazar, a graduate of Tufts University School of Dentistry, has been recognized by Castle Connolly as One of America’s Best Dentists and provides the highest level of orthodontic care.

One of the orthodontic procedures offered in Dr. Linhart’s office is Invisalign®. Visit Dr. Linhart’s Invisalign® site here. Invisalign® can help you get the great smile you've always wanted because it's...

• Invisible
  Invisible, so no one can tell you're straightening your teeth. So now you can smile more during treatment as well as after.
  
  
• Removable
  Removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.
  
  
• Predictable
  Invisalign® allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start - so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
  
  
• Comfortable
  Comfortable, because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in our office getting adjustments.

Getting started with treatment couldn't be easier....
In fact, you can be on your way to straighter teeth and a beautiful smile within weeks of visiting our office. Please see the six easy steps for Invisalign ® treatment below.

• Make An Appointment
  Contact us to schedule an appointment with us for a free initial smile consultation.
  
  
• Take Impressions
  During the initial visit, we will help you decide on your course of treatment. We will take bite impressions of your teeth and send them, along with a set of precise instructions, to Invisalign®.
  
  
• Make Aligners
  Using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology we will transform your bite impressions 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.
  
  
• Receive Aligners
  During your next visit to our office you will receive your first set of aligners. We will most likely give you a few additional sets for you to wear before you return for your next visit.
  
  
• Wear Aligners
  You'll wear each set of aligners day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, but will vary from case to case. You'll visit us only about every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
  
  
• Finish Treatment
  When you're finished wearing each aligner in the series, your treatment will be complete and you will have the beautiful smile you've always wanted.
