Dr. Michael O'Leary is a Certified Invisalign® Provider
Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted — without braces. A complimentary consultation with Dr. O'Leary can determine if Invisalign is right for you.
What is it?
Invisalign is orthodontic treatment which uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that are worn full time and no one can tell you're wearing them. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective.
Why would I want it?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. They are removed when eating or brushing your teeth. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
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 Dr. O'Leary has prescribed. You'll visit Dr. O'Leary about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
