How Do Braces Work?

Achieve the straight teeth that create a beautiful smile. Let Dr. Dhayni determine whether Invisalign or Braces are right for you.

Braces work by applying constant and gentle pressure to your teeth, causing them to shift into alignment over time. Brackets are placed on the front of each tooth and wires are attached to the brackets with elastic bands. The elastic bands absorb the tension of the wire and the teeth then align themselves to the shape of the wire.

Invisalign Invisible Braces

If you think that having straight teeth equates to enduring sharp metal and wires in your mouth, think again. Now, with "Invisalign," you can straighten your teeth inconspicuously without the use of traditional metal braces. Dr. Dhayni can help you easily achieve your ultimate smile with invisible braces and Invisalign.

Every day, more and more people are discovering what invisible braces can do for them. In fact, more than 100,000 people have sought the benefits of using invisible braces. While it's true that invisible braces cannot fully replace metal braces in all instances, only the most severe cases will now require metal braces thanks to invisible braces and Invisalign.

How do invisible and Invisalign braces work?

With the invisible brace system, a series of clear plastic aligners are used to align the teeth. This nearly invisible plastic is removable and can be taken out when you eat or chew gum. Better yet, with invisible braces you can brush your teeth and floss without the obstruction of metal braces getting in your way.

Dr. Dhayni will begin your fitting by carefully examining your teeth. Then he will use the latest 3-D computer technology to create a model of your teeth. Once the Invisalign system has generated a computerized 3-D model of your teeth, it will then produce a series of customized aligners.

After your customized aligners have been created, you will wear them for approximately 2-3 weeks. A new set will be created once every 2 to 3 weeks, gradually moving your teeth week by week until your teeth are perfectly aligned. Most people will achieve perfect alignment in less than one year.

Traditional Braces

If Invisalign isn't right for you, Dr. Dhayni can still enhance your smile and perfectly align your teeth. With traditional braces, Dr. Dhayni can help you achieve the smile you've always dreamed of.

Straight teeth can make you look better and feel better. They're also easier to maintain and function more efficiently. Unfortunately, most of us don't experience straight teeth naturally. That's where Dr. Dhayni comes in.
