Invisalign ® and MTM® Orthodontics (Clear Braces)

Orthodontic treatment corrects a “bad bite” by exerting a gentle pressure over time to straighten teeth. Modern technology is used for many patients and can even be treated with practically invisible braces. Dr. Schrubb uses two different modern techniques to achieve this.

These techniques are called Invisalign® and MTM® (Minor Tooth Movement).

With Invisalign® and MTM® Clear Aligner’s innovative approach to bracket-free orthodontics, you can achieve great results without traditional braces. What’s more, you can do so in a fraction of the time and cost of many other aligner or wire treatments.

Who is a good candidate for Invisalign® or MTM®?

Once your permanent teeth are in, usually between the ages of twelve and fourteen, you are a likely candidate. While teens love how invisible their orthodontic treatment can be, Invisalign® and MTM® is especially popular with adults. Now it is not too late for people to address crooked teeth, extra spacing and other “bad-bite” issues later in life. Before Invisalign® and MTM® some adults thought they were “too old” to have orthodontic treatment. Ask us whether your dental problems can be treated with Invisalign® or MTM®.

What are the advantages of Invisalign® and MTM®?

• It typically takes less time than traditional wire braces

• It is clear and practically invisible – nobody has to know you are straightening your teeth

• You can remove it out to brush and floss your teeth as normal so there is far less risk for decay to occur during the treatment process. This results in a healthy smile and reduces your chance of a restorative treatment expense.

• You can remove it to eat and drink what you want- just put it back in when you are done

• It is very comfortable. There are no wires or brackets and no uncomfortable adjustments
