Very few people have naturally straight teeth. And for years, braces were the only option. Until now. Introducing Invisalign. A revolutionary new way to straighten teeth-without braces.
 



So invisible, you'll be the only one that knows.
Invisalign uses a senes of nearly undetectable aligners instead of brackets and wires. So it's really hard for people to tell you're wearing Invisalign even up close. Invisalign can give you the smile you've always wanted without the braces you've always avoided.

  No braces.
Nothing to hold you back.
Because there are no metal wires and brackets, Invisalign is comfortable. And because it's
removable, eating, brushing and flossing are no problem. You can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding back. With Invisalign, there's nothing to hide.

The latest technology makes it possible.
Upon an initial examination, your orthodontist decides if Invisalign is right for you. Your doctor will write a treatment plan and take an impression of your teeth, which are submitted to Invisalign. Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign carefully translates your doctor's instructions into a series of precisely customized aligners. You then wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth gradually - week by week, millimeter by millimeter - until you've achieved the intended result: straighter teeth. Generally, you visit your orthodontist no more often than you would with braces and the length of treatment is about the same.

Proven results behind great smiles. In both clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide, Invisalign has been proven effective at straightening teeth. And with over half of all U.S. orthodontists already trained to treat their patients with Invisalign, you can be assured to find a doctor that's right for you.

Frequently asked
Questions and Answers

How long does lnvisalign treatment take and how much does it cost?
The duration and cost of the treatment depends on the severity of your particular case, which determines the number of aligners you need. You'll wear each aligner for two weeks. So, generally there may he as many as 48 in the series, or as few as 12. Only your orthodontist can determine the length of your treatment.

How often must I wear my aligners?
Invisalign ONLY works while you are wesring the aligners. We recommend that you wear your aligners flill-time, day and night, except to eat, brush and floss your teeth-or as directed by your orthodontist.

Are there restrictions on what I can eat and drink?
In general, no. Unlike traditional orthodontics, you can usually eat and drink whatever you
desire, because you remove your aligners. Thus, there is no need to restrict your onsumption of any of your favorite foods or snacks, unless instructed otherwise by your orthodontist.

How often must I see my orthodontist?
Your orthodontist will schedule regular appointments-usually about once every six weeks. This is the only way your doctor can be sure that the treatment is progressing as planned.

Will wearing the lnvisalign aligners affect my speech?
Like all orthodontic treatments, aligners may temporarily affect your speech, and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two. However, as your tongue gets used to having aligners in your mouth, any lisp or minor speech impediment caused by the aliguers should disappear.

Will the treatment be painful?
Most people experience tooth soreness for a few days atter starting each new stage. This is normal. It is a sign that the Invisaligu aligners are working - sequentially moving your teeth to their final destination. This soreness should gradually go away a couple of days after you insert the new aligner in the series. If it doesn't, you should promptly call your orthodontist.
