invisalign

Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth.
What the public doesn't know is that to have the distinguished title of 'Invisalign Certified' bestowed upon a doctor, there is a mere three hour training course that covers two topics: 1) How to get a patient's information to Invisalign and 2) How to market Invisalign to patients. Good marketing can sometimes influence people forget that there are several important factors to consider when choosing your orthodontic treatment.
The truth is that most marketing is guilty of false advertising. For example, no one bites into a Hot Pocket and says, 'Yumm! Just like the picture on the box!' do they??? Dr. Stevens feels that his orthodontic profession demands a higher level of honesty, integrity, and responsibility for the consumer (patient) than the sale of frozen foods.

For ideal Invisalign results, a doctor first needs to understand HOW teeth move. Then they need to understand HOW to move teeth with Invisalign, which is uniquely different than using traditional braces in many ways. Dr. Stevens regularly attends advanced Invisalign courses that keep him informed about the latest techniques and advancements in the technology.
Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign is right for you. After receiving precise treatment instructions from the orthodontist, Invisalign uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners — as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually — week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you’ll be smiling like you never have before!
If you are interested in receiving orthodontic treatment, Dr. Stevens will be able to determine if Invisalign is your best option. Dr. Stevens is proud to offer orthodontic treatment with Invisalign to patients from Mililani, Pearl City, Kapolei, Hawai’i Kai, O’ahu and the surrounding areas of Honolulu.
