Invisalign is a new method of orthodontic treatment that is nearly invisible and straightens teeth faster than traditional braces. Many adults and teens choose this method over traditional metal braces because of the convenience and the look of the aligners.

Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligners that fit snugly next to your teeth. The aligners are completely removable. Each aligner is worn for only two weeks. After two weeks, you simply remove the aligner and replace it with the next aligner in the series. Each aligner is designed to exert pressure on specific teeth at a specific time. The average treatment time is just 12 months with Invisalign. (Treatment times vary according to the unique needs of each patient.)

First, we take photographs, x-rays, and impressions of your teeth at our office and determine the final position of your teeth. Then, we send this information to Align Technology, the manufacturer of  Invisalign, and they use advanced 3D imaging and manufacturing technology to create your customised series of aligners. The average number of aligners in a series is 24, but the number of aligners is unique to each case.

Invisalign is comfortable because there are no brackets and wires to irritate your cheek and gum. And, because Invisalign aligners are completely removable, you may eat, brush, and floss as you usually do. There is no need to change your diet or hygiene habits.
