Clear Braces
CLEAR BRACES (Invisalign)
Benefits of Invisalign
If you’re unsure about choosing to move forward with orthodontic work to achieve a healthy, aligned smile, that’s understandable! Invisalign offers a lot of benefits to patients who want orthodontic work but don’t want the hassle and pain of traditional braces. Benefits of Invisalign include:
Naturally achieve your best smile
Prevent results of an aging smile
Reduce your risk of periodontal disease
The single biggest predictor of a lifetime of good dental health is aligned arches and a stable healthy bite.
No brackets, metal, or bands on your teeth
Removable and more comfortable than braces
Clear and practically invisible
Long-lasting results
Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
The clear teeth aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Russ or Dr. Birnbach‘s expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
As you replace each clear teeth 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 Drs. Russ or Birnbach has prescribed.
You’ll visit Drs. Russ or Birnbach about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Total treatment time averages 9 – 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners made from medical-grade, BPA-free thermoplastic specifically designed to perfectly fit in your mouth. The aligners will exert a small amount of force onto your teeth, gently pushing them into a new, more desirable position that’s optimal for your oral health and your jaw or bite alignment.
What are the Costs?
Invisalign is an investment in your health and each case varies. We guarantee our cases for five years, meaning that if you forget to wear your retainer or have any relapse, we can get you back to your perfect alignment at no extra cost to you.
How Does Invisalign Work?
At Boulder Smiles, Dr. Russ believes that your best smile can be achieved at any age. Adult orthodontic work reduces risks of periodontal disease, abnormal tooth wear, and prevents the results of aging smiles, which allows us to restore your smile to its ideal function and aesthetics. Invisalign aligns the teeth into an ideal functional position and can lay the foundation for finishing touches and cosmetic work.
Not all clear aligners are equal. Patient experience and results can vary greatly depending on the doctor and the products used. There is also no substitute for experience, which is why you can trust Dr. Russ, who has been providing Invisalign since 2014 and designs over 100 cases per year. She believes orthodontics can be a great experience and a beautiful, healthy smile can be yours with fewer dental appointments and better long term results when we use Invisalign.
