With breakthrough technology that lets you have the smile you've always wanted - without
the hassle of braces.
The clear alternative to metal braces.
By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth with
results you'll notice sooner than you think. The course of treatment involves changing
aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into straighter position step
by step, until you have a more beautiful smile. And unlike braces, these clear aligners
can be removed while you eat and brush your teeth as usual.
Less treatment time.
An average Invisalign course
of treatment takes about a year. You'll see your Invisalign Certified Orthodontist or Dentist
every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments and to check progress. At regular intervals, you'll
receive a new set of custom-molded clear aligners to continue the straightening process.
The total number of clear aligners is specific to you, determined by your doctor for your
course of treatment.
Clear. And comfortable.
Since Invisalign is practically
invisible, there's no unwarranted attention to your mouth. In fact, very few people will
notice at all - unless you tell them. They're comfortable to wear and remove easily when
you eat, brush, and floss.
All across the country, people like you now have great smiles and straighter teeth, thanks
to Invisalign. Why not join them?
