What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a teeth-straightening dental procedure that uses customized plastic aligners. Like braces, Invisalign aligner trays shift teeth into alignment. Unlike braces, the aligner trays are smooth, comfortable and don't require metal brackets and wires. Aligners are worn over your teeth and replaced every two weeks.

Is Invisalign Right For You?

During a consultation, we'll assess your teeth and dental health to determine if Invisalign aligners are an effective solution for you. If you are a good candidate, we'll devise an individual treatment plan that's based on a digital 3-D image of your teeth. Your plan will project your teeth's exact movements during each stage of the transition process.

The Invisalign treatment process includes:

• Visiting our office regularly for checkups on your progress.
• Replacing aligners with a new set every two weeks.
• Severe toothache; pain while biting and chewing.
• Custom-making clear aligners that are designed to meet your specific needs.

Invisalign offers the following advantages:

• Invisibility: Clear aligners are unnoticeable.
• Convenient: Aligner trays can be removed for eating, flossing and brushing.
• Comfort: Plastic aligners are smooth, unlike irritating metal brackets and wires.
