Eberhardt Dentistry
A Straighter Smile, Metal-Free With Invisalign
Are you looking to have the best smile possible? Invisalign may be for you. Contact us today at (330) 836-5585 to set up a consultation.
While orthodontic treatment is usually associated with teenagers, adults can benefit from it as well. The stigma of having metal braces as an adult steer many away from getting the smile they desire. At Eberhardt Dentistry, we can help you achieve your dream smile without all the metal using Invisalign or clear aligner treatment.
Invisalign Treatment in Akron
Invisalign are clear plastic trays worn in a series to help correct alignment issues with your teeth. They are custom-fit to your mouth based on the digital images we create of your mouth and jaw at Eberhardt Dentistry. Once we know what your mouth looks like currently, we will work with Invisalign to design treatment based on what you want your teeth to look like once treatment is complete. A series of incremental trays are made specifically for you, and you will wear each set of plastic trays for around two weeks before moving on to the next set. Each tray set moves your teeth a little more until you achieve the final result, usually in 12 to 24 months. During this time, you will come to our office approximately every six weeks for evaluations and monitoring of tooth movement.Advantages of Invisalign Over Traditional Orthodontics

What Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign can treat various common orthodontic problems, such as:- Open bite: When your upper and lower teeth do not touch when your mouth is closed
- Underbite/Overbite: When your top front teeth sit either behind or in front of your lower front teeth
- Crowding: When your jaw is too small for all your teeth to fit, causing your teeth to overlap or twist
- Crossbite: When some of your upper teeth sit behind some of your lower teeth
- Gap teeth: When there is extra space in between two or more of your teeth
