Invisalign®
Are you interested in straightening your teeth, but find braces uncomfortable or unattractive? If so, Invisalign® may be right for you.
- Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten
your teeth without braces.
- Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable
aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your
teeth without metal wires or brackets.
- Invisalign® has been proven effective in clinical
research and in orthodontic 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 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.
