Invisalign®
Along with the health benefits that Invisalign can provide, you can to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted – without braces! A consultation with a professional orthodontist can determine if Invisalign® is right for you.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® uses a series of 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 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective.
What are some benefits of Invisalign?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does Invisalign work?
You wear each aligner for a few weeks, changing to the next aligner according to your plan, and visit your dentist every few months to monitor your progress. Each aligner puts gentle pressure on your teeth to guide them toward their final position. An AcceleDent mouthpiece, which fits around your aligners, can speed up the process, potentially cutting your treatment time in half.

Invisalign isn’t just for adults. Teens can enjoy the same Invisalign benefits. Aligners designed for teenagers include a blue compliance indicator, so parents can monitor the amount of time that their teen wears their aligners each day.
