Invisalign

Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth; and there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.

Many of our patients had never considered traditional braces but are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign. Click on one of the testimonial videos below to hear how Invisalign is working for Kelly and Daniel

Teens are smiling about Invisalign Teen because:

• They look great.  In their yearbook, on Facebook or in family photos, it will be hard for people to tell they’re wearing the aligners. Even in person, they’re virtually impossible to see. Why be insecure about metal braces at a party, a prom or an interview?
• They’re easy to use. .  Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks and each aligner gently moves teeth close and closer until reaching their final position. When it comes to sports, meals, parties and playing musical instruments, Invisalign Teen aligners are easy to pop out and put right back in.
• They make it easy to maintain good oral health.   When it’s time to eat, brush or floss, simply remove the aligner. And, unlike metal braces, aligners can be removed so the patient can eat whatever he or she chooses: pizza, apples, popcorn…
• They’re more comfortable.   Invisalign Teen aligners are made of lightweight plastic and custom-fit snugly around the teeth. Teens won’t have to worry about the irritation and inconvenience of metal braces.
• They’re high-tech.   These aren’t the braces your Mom and Dad wore to get straight teeth!

Parents are smiling about Invisalign Teen because:

• They want what’s best for their child.  Invisalign Teen can help build a teen’s confidence and self esteem. A beautiful smile may enhance chances to succeed during social, educational and career events for the rest of their lives.
• Six free replacement aligners.  Lose your aligner? We got you covered at no additional cost.
• Better oral hygiene  Without metal braces it is easier to brush and maintain optimal oral health with less chance for cavities forming during orthodontic treatment.
• Perhaps best of all, Invisalign Teen aligners work.  They use the same Invisalign technology that doctors worldwide have used to treat more than 750,000 patients achieve a healthy attractive smile.
