Invisalign Info

Dr. Yamin is Invisalign’s top single provider in central Massachusetts!

Dr. Yamin is co-founder of the Foundation for Invisalign Research, Study and Training.

Dr. Yamin took the very first Invisalign certification course ever given in 1999. For the first ten years Invisalign was not a robust system and not able to treat all types of orthodontic problems. Only minor issues responded well to treatment using their plastic aligners. 

Fast forward to today and with 6 million cases treated and with an exclusive proprietary new plastic material, Invisalign can successfully address virtually almost all types of orthodontic and even surgical cases. Invisalign works very well for all ages!

Invisalign is best delivered by experienced orthodontists who use this technique full time every day and have the background in their university-based specialty training beyond the four years of dental school.

Invisalign employs 600 engineers and spends 100 million dollars annually on research and development. Invisalign has almost 900 patents. It is by far the best quality clear aligner system on the market and will be so for the foreseeable future. 

 

We are a Certified Invisalign Provider

Consider Invisalign treatment to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted — without braces. A complimentary consultation with our doctor can determine if Invisalign clear aligners are right for you.

 

What is it?

Invisalign treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign clear aligners are made with 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to administer Invisalign treatment.

 

Why would I want it?

Not only are the aligners virtually 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 more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal or wires, which also usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign treatment 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 two 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 their final positions. You’ll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
