Invisalign

Milpitas Dentist, Peter Yu

believes Invisalign is the clear alternative to braces and it has been chosen by over 500,000 people who want amazing smiles.

Many people have wanted to make adjustments to their smile but didn't like the visibility of metal braces. The patients of cosmetic dentist Peter Yu love the discreetness and the convenience of Invisalign and have been thrilled with the results.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an easy way to straighten teeth without using wires and brackets. Instead Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. These virtually invisible, removable, thin trays gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you will be proud to share with others! Because these aligner trays are so discreet, most people won't even notice you're in treatment with dentist Peter Yu.

Invisalign is quick and easy because of computer-aided design that creates your series of aligners. After expert dentist, Peter Yu makes an impression of your teeth, a CT scan from those impressions allows the computer to design the series of aligners which go from phase 1 to phase 30. This series of 30 stereolithical models are then used to manufacture your trays. These trays are each worn for approximately 2 weeks each, gradually and gently placing the teeth in the correct position.

Treatment time for the Invisalign procedure at the office of dentist Peter Yu varies with each case, depending on the severity of the tooth displacement but typically takes about 1 year. Dr. Yu has found this to be a very effective treatment for his adult patients who have needed orthodontic help but didn't want the hassle or embarrassment of metal braces.

Invisalign can give you the smile you have always wanted and keep you smiling both during and after your treatment. Call our office today to find out more about this process.
