Philadelphia, PA
 If you want to improve your smile but don't like the idea of metal braces, Invisalign can be the right option for you. Invisalign offers a revolutionary approach to teeth straightening that allows you to maintain your confident smile without undergoing traditional orthodontic treatment.
At Kaiser, Rosen & Kurman Dental Associates, we offer Invisalign as an easy and comfortable way for you to get the perfect smile you've always wanted.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear plastic aligners to effectively straighten teeth without needing traditional metal braces. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a great option for those who want to improve their smile without attracting unwanted attention.
At Kaiser, Rosen & Kurman Dental Associates, our orthodontists Dr. Rosen, Dr. Minoli and Dr. Breslin provide custom-made aligners for each patient, which are replaced every two weeks to gradually shift teeth into their desired position. Invisalign can treat a range of dental issues, including overcrowding, gaps, and bite problems.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign works by gradually shifting the teeth into the desired position using a series of custom-made aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for a specific amount of time, usually about two weeks, before being replaced by the next set in the series.
The aligners are designed to apply gentle pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position over time.
Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is a good option for teenagers and adults who have mild to moderate orthodontic issues such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, or mild overcrowding. Invisalign is not recommended for individuals with severe orthodontic problems, as traditional braces may be a more effective option.

Maintain good oral health; brush and floss your teeth regularly to help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

Clean the aligners regularly with a soft-bristled toothbrush and water. Avoid using toothpaste or other abrasive materials that can scratch or damage the aligners.
|
| • |
Certain food and drinks, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, can stain your clear aligners. Try to avoid consuming these items while wearing your aligners.
