Invisalign can help you get the great smile you've always wanted
because it's... Invisible, so no one can tell you're straightening your teeth. So
now you can smile more during treatment as well as after.
Removable, so you can eat and drink
what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing
are no problem.
Comfortable, because it has 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.
Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a
series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it's
been proven effective in both clinical research and in practices
nationwide.
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
orthodontist or dentist has prescribed.
You'll visit your orthodontist or 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.
