What is  


Invisalign®, invisible braces, straightens your teeth without using bands, metal brackets or metal wires making Invisalign® more visually appealing than traditional braces. As with traditional braces, bands, metal brackets and metal wires may irritate the inside of your mouth, but with Invisalign®, the aligners are smooth and comfortable. Because the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth as normal and continue to eat your favorite foods. In addition, the aligners are clear making it nearly impossible for anyone to tell you are wearing Invisalign® unless you tell them. If your teeth are crowded, crooked, unusually spaced apart or have moved since having metal braces, Invisalign®may be right for you! 

  • Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
  • Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
  • Invisalign® has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic 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? You'd Be Amazed...
  • The aligners are made through a combination of your orthodontist's or dentist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
