What is Invisalign?

Invisalign consists of comfortable flexible plastic trays that are custom fabricated especially for you. They are indeed invisible.

Due to their extensive experience and expertise with Invisalign, Drs. Joel and Jonathan “Jono” Gluck are comfortable treating just about every patient with Invisalign. Everyone is a candidate!

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. Using a modern approach to straightening teeth. Dr. Gluck and Dr. Jono will straighten your teeth using a custom-made set of aligners that are manufactured by Invisalign. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements Dr. Gluck and Dr. Jono have programmed for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten.

Each set of trays are worn for one week, until your treatment is complete. You will visit Dr. Gluck and Dr. Jono once every 10-12 weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 12-18 months. Upon completion of treatment, you will achieve the confident smile that you’ve always wanted.

iTero™ Digital Impression System

Conventional vs Digital Impressions

No more goop, gagging, or discomfort! Using an iTero™ Element scanner, our scanning technician takes a highly accurate digital impression. The new technology completely eliminates the tray and putty impressions where the experience is comparable to stuffing a big wad of gum in your mouth. The old technique is unpleasant and frequently results in taking multiple rounds of impressions that can be rejected, inaccurate, or misplaced. The iTero Element scanner ensures a more accurate impression from the start, resulting in improved treatment and a more comfortable patient experience. Digital impressions give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D, improving communication during the consultation and treatment process.

How Does it Work?

The iTero Element scanner digitally captures the structure of the teeth and gums using the latest optical technology. The scanner is a compact, hand-held wand. Once the scanning process begins, it can be stopped and started as many times as necessary.

Your mouth is scanned with a radiation-free laser and in as little as ten minutes renders a digitally perfect, 3D impression of your teeth and soft tissue structures. Through digital software you’ll then be able to follow the progress of the scans including a three-dimensional model of your teeth on our computer screen.
