Aligners [Invisalign]
What is Invisalign Clear Aligner treatment?
Invisalign Clear Aligners are braces that straighten your teeth, giving you the confidence of a great smile.
Using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, Invisalign depicts your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.
A series of clear aligners are custom made for your teeth and your teeth only to move them little by little.
There are no wires or brackets so you’ll have confidence in your smile during and after treatment. In fact, most people won’t even know you’re wearing Invisalign clear aligners. They are also removable so you can eat whatever you want and easily brush and floss as you normally would.
You’ll visit our practice every 4-6 weeks. On average, Invisalign treatment takes less than a year.
