Coleman Orthodontics

Coleman Orthodontics If you want a straighter smile but don’t want the look of traditional metal braces , Invisalign is the perfect option for you. The Invisalign System straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. Not only is Invisalign effective, but the aligners are nearly invisible and can be worn without detection. Unlike traditional braces , Invisalign aligners can be removed instantly and easily.   You can take them out without compromising your treatment. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. Because you can remove the Invisalign aligners at your leisure, you do not have to avoid any foods like patients with traditional braces do.   Invisalign makes it easy to eat whatever you want, whenever you want and never worry about your meals ruining your orthodontic treat
