We all hated them when we were kids -- those horrible bands of metal strapped onto your teeth so that they would become straight and beautiful. Orthodontic treatment with traditional metal braces is a painful process that takes years to complete. To make matters worse, your smile is marred by a "mouth full of metal" throughout your treatment.
If the hassles, discomfort and unsightliness associated with braces has caused you to avoid undergoing orthodontic treatment, you are not alone.
What is Invisalign®?
Many individuals have chosen to live with crooked teeth rather than endure several years with braces. Fortunately, there is a better way to achieve a beautiful, straight smile. Invisalign® clear braces allow you to straighten your teeth using a set of clear, removable plastic aligners that are more comfortable than braces and practically undetectable by others.
You can find out if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you by speaking with Dr. Michael Adler in person. Please call 303-449-1119 today to schedule a consultation at our Boulder office.

Straighten Your Teeth without Anyone Knowing
Invisalign uses a series of clear, plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. Your treatment is designed to give you straight, properly aligned teeth in a shorter time than is commonly achieved with traditional metal braces.
When you choose Invisalign, you will receive the following benefits:
- Removable aligners --Â Your Invisalign aligners can be removed from your mouth when eating and brushing your teeth. This allows you to enjoy all of your favorite foods, and it ensures you to get the most out of your brushing and flossing efforts.
- Comfortable fit --Â Your aligners are made out of smooth, form-fitting plastic that gets molded to the contours of your mouth. They won't irritate your mouth the way metal braces do, ensuring a more comfortable treatment. In addition, you won't have to endure the painful tightening sessions that occur when you wear braces.
- Customizable treatment --Â The Invisalign lab will create a set of custom-made aligners that will address your unique orthodontic issues.
- Invisible --Â The clear plastic material used for your aligners will be virtually unnoticeable to others, eliminating the unsightly "mouth full of metal" associated with braces.
- Fewer dental visits --Â Invisalign requires fewer follow-up office visits throughout the treatment period since there are no brackets and wires that need tightening.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign can be used to treat a wide range of bite alignment issues, including:
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Gapped teeth
- Crowded teeth
In addition, you must meet the following criteria in order to be considered a candidate for Invisalign:
- Have healthy teeth and gums
- Have a fully developed mouth
- Non-smoker or is willing to quit smoking during the entire treatment process
It's important to understand that you may still be considered an Invisalign candidate if you have cavities or suffer from gum disease. However, Dr. Adler will need to treat these conditions and restore optimal levels of oral health before you can begin Invisalign treatment.
Invisalign is very effective in treating mild to moderate orthodontic issues. If you experience a more severe condition, Invisalign may not achieve the best results. In these situations, Dr. Adler may recommend an alternative treatment option that will deliver your desired outcome.
The Invisalign Procedure
During your first visit to our Boulder office, Dr. Adler will take an impression of your bite using state-of-the-art 3D computer imaging technology. This impression will be used by the Invisalign lab to construct a customized set of aligners for your treatment.
Once your aligners have been created by the lab, you will return to our office to be fit for the first one in the series. Each aligner is worn for about 2 weeks and will gradually shift your teeth closer to their desired position. After 2 weeks, you will move along to the next aligner in the series. This process continues until you have completed your treatment. At this time, you will enjoy the benefits of a straight, beautiful smile.
In order to achieve the best possible results, it's important to wear your aligners for about 20-22 hours a day. The only time you should remove them is to eat and brush your teeth. You'll also need to wear your aligners at night while you sleep.
