What is
Invisalign®? |
- Invisalign® is
the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
- Invisalign® uses a
series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without
metal wires or brackets.
- Invisalign® has been
proven effective in clinical research and in orthdontic practices
nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists 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 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.

| How Are Aligners
Made? You'd Be Amazed... |
- The aligners
are made through a combination of your orthodontist's or dentist's
expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
