How Does
Invisalign
Work?

Invisalign is a high-tech way to straighten your teeth and no one will even know you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. The system relies on a series of removable, BPA-free, plastic aligners that are custom-made according to Dr. Kwong’s specifications. They’re supremely comfortable and best of all, virtually invisible.

T hink of it in sports terms. It’s not the basketball, baseball bat or golf clubs that make the sports star a finished product, but the training and effort they put into it. The same holds true for Invisalign. It’s not the plastic aligners that result in a stunning smile, it’s the planning that goes on behind the scenes on the part of Dr. Kwong, who maps out the exact movements of the teeth. This is why it’s important to choose an orthodontist who is trained and experienced in Invisalign treatment.

You’ll wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks and certain teeth will move based on Dr. Kwong’s blueprint. With each new set, your teeth will gradually and gently shift into their new positions. You’ll take them out to brush, floss and eat. How convenient is that?

The Advantages of Invisalign

The end result may be the same as traditional braces ”“ a stellar smile ”“ but Invisalign is in a class of its own when it comes to the actual tooth straightening process. The benefits are pretty hard to beat:

  • Effectively treats a wide variety of cases including spacing, crowding, crossbite, overjet teeth and underbite
  • Virtually invisible
  • Removable so you can brush and floss as you normally would for improved oral health
  • Snack away! No food restrictions
  • Smooth and comfortable aligners without the need for poking wires or metal brackets

Are You a Candidate for Invisalign?

The good news is a lot of patients are excellent candidates for Invisalign, especially teens and adults, and it can effectively treat more cases than ever. Dr. Kwong is a trained El Dorado Hills Invisalign provider. He’ll assess your needs at your free consultation and determine if Invisalign will work for you.

The Difference is Clear

Enjoy cutting-edge treatment with minimal interference in your daily life.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Everybody there is incredibly kind and caring. I honestly couldn't imagine a more comfortable environment to do my Invisalign treatment. Living hundreds of miles away for college, I didn't know how it was going to work. However, they make it effortless for me. I just let them know how long it will be until I return to Eldo and they give me the necessary aligners and supplies to get me through. I'd recommend the Invisalign not only for the amazing results, but also to prevent the freshmen fifteen! Once you have the aligners in, you don't always feel like taking them off just for snacks.

My daughter got her braces off today and our experience with Jeffrey Kwong Orthodontics was awesome! My daughter had an expander and phase I braces. Dr. Kwong was very knowledgeable about how her teeth come in and we were able to head off some problems that would have only gotten worse as she grew older. My daughter enjoyed going there and we were impressed to be able to see Dr. Kwong personally on every visit. My daughter also had fun with his rewards program and earned gift cards for Jamba Juice and Target. I highly recommend Jeffrey Kwong Orthodontics!
