Invisalign
Drs. Joe, Nick, Zach, and Nate Mellion are Certified Invisalign Providers
Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted – without braces.
What is it?
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing—so you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology, and has been proven effective. Because each of the doctors in the Mellion family has undergone extensive training in this technology they have become "Certified Invisalign Providers."
Why Invisalign?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires means you may spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Mellion has prescribed. You'll visit Dr. Mellion about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Invisalign treatment is not recommended for everyone, so please schedule a complementary consultation to see if Invisalign is right for you. Even if you aren’t a candidate for Invisalign treatment, Dr. Mellion can recommend a cosmetic alternative to Invisalign treatment, such as clear or ceramic braces.
