At Mountain View Orthodontics, Dr. Sebastian Baumgaertel offers Invisalign® clear aligners as a comfortable and discreet way to straighten teeth. Invisalign allows patients in Longmont and Berthoud, CO, to improve their smiles without the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces.
Using advanced digital technology and custom-made aligners, Invisalign gradually moves teeth into the proper position while allowing you to maintain your normal daily routine.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners designed specifically for your smile.
Each aligner is custom-created using precise digital imaging and is worn for a short period before moving on to the next aligner in the series. Over time, these aligners gently guide teeth into their ideal positions.
Many patients choose Invisalign because it offers:
- Nearly invisible aligners that are difficult to notice
- Comfortable, smooth plastic that reduces irritation
- A custom-fit design created using advanced 3D imaging
- Removable aligners that allow normal eating and brushing
- Effective tooth movement with predictable results
For many patients who prefer a more subtle orthodontic option, Invisalign provides an excellent alternative to braces.
