Invisalign aligners are officially the nation’s number one choice for dental alignment treatment. There are two primary reasons for this. First, they are the most comfortable alignment tool on the market today. Second, as their name suggests, they are extremely subtle in view, as if your wearing nothing at all in your mouth.

Your smile is a most beautiful thing. We have helped thousands of people like you over the years return to a happy, healthy, and vibrant smile. So, allow us to make just a couple of key points.

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.

Invisalign® Can Work for You

  • Did you know that 80% of people over age 15 who qualify for braces can be treated with Invisalign®?
  • Invisalign® treats a wide variety of cases, including crowding, space closure, narrow arches, relapse, anterior intrusion, and limited treatment cases.
