A straighter smile can change how you feel in photos, at work and in everyday conversations. For many adults and teens, Invisalign offers a way to get there without the look or hassle of traditional braces.
How Invisalign works
Invisalign uses a series of custom clear aligners made from a digital scan of your teeth. Each set moves your teeth a small amount. You switch to a new set every one to two weeks and visit us for short check-ins along the way.
Top benefits
- Nearly invisible: Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.
- Removable: Take them out to eat, brush, floss or for a special event.
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic means no brackets or wires rubbing your cheeks.
- No food rules: Because you remove them to eat, you can enjoy the foods you love.
- Easier hygiene: Brushing and flossing work just like they always have.
Who is a good candidate?
Invisalign treats crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites and crossbites in many cases. The key to success is wearing your aligners about 22 hours a day. Patients who will commit to that schedule usually see great results.
