Invisalign

A beautiful smile without unsightly braces...

Invisalign can give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted. It works through a series of invisible , removable , and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So you can smile more during treatment as well as after.

Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. Invisalign has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthdontic practices nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists are certified to treat patients with Invisalign.

How Does Invisalign Work?
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 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 the final position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed.

You'll visit your orthodontist or dentist about once every 6 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.

How Are Aligners Made?
The aligners are made through a combination of your dentist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology. (click on the Invisalign logo to visit the Invisalign and learn more about how technology plays a vital role in the Invisalign process)
