Straightening Teeth Without Conventional Braces

Invisalign® is a new system of straightening teeth without using conventional braces. Instead, we use a series of clear plastic aligners (similar to athletic mouth guards) to create tooth movement. They are 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 is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective for over one million patients and counting. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are now certified to treat with Invisalign.

Why Would You Want Invisalign?

Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. You simply remove them to brush and floss. They are comfortable, too, with no metal used during treatment. And no metal or wires usually means you spend less time getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to see how straight your teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

How Does Invisalign Work?

You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final position we prescribed. You’ll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both vary from patient to patient. Why not consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted — without braces?
