What is Invisalign^®?

Invisalign^® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. 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 orthodontic practices nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. dentists 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 dentist has prescribed.
• You'll visit your 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.
