What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a type of braces that uses clear tray aligners made of plastic based on molds of your mouth. The clear aligners are a solid piece of plastic that is strong enough to gently shift misaligned teeth into their proper position. They are flexible and designed to be worn over your teeth. Every couple of weeks, the aligners are replaced until your teeth are completely shifted into their correct positions.

For many adults and teens, Invisalign aligners are the clear alternative to metal braces. More than 20 years of research has helped in the design and creation of Invisalign's state-of-the-art 3-D technology. Since they are clear, it is very difficult for you and others to tell you are even wearing them.

Benefits of Invisalign

Many people choose Invisalign clear braces because they don't like how traditional braces look. Invisalign braces also have fewer food and activity limitations and are more comfortable and easier to care for than traditional braces. Invisalign also requires fewer office visits and you may see results sooner than you would with traditional braces.

How Do I Get Invisalign Aligners?

The first step to getting Invisalign aligners is to have a consultation with us. We will evaluate your teeth and take impressions of your mouth. Then, Invisalign will make your custom aligners. We will create your overall treatment plan and guide you through each step of the process.

Every couple of weeks, you'll switch to a new set of aligners as your teeth gradually move into their ideal positions. We'll check in with you regularly to monitor your progress and ensure everything is on track.
