Request an AppointmentHow Invisalign Works
Invisalign® involves a series of custom clear trays designed specifically for you, based on the treatment plan your dentist creates to gradually move your teeth into place. The trays are made from smooth, comfortable plastic that covers your teeth and shifts them a little at a time, with each new set of aligners bringing your smile closer to its final position.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign
Because the aligners are clear and removable, Invisalign is a popular choice for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look and feel of traditional metal braces. You can remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss normally, making it easier to maintain your oral hygiene routine throughout treatment.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign can address a range of alignment issues, from mild crowding to more noticeable bite concerns. During a consultation, we’ll evaluate your teeth and discuss whether Invisalign is the right fit, or whether another treatment, such as porcelain crowns, may better address your goals.
