WHAT IS INVISALIGN?
Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten your teeth
without braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, nearly
undetectable, removable aligners to straighten your
teeth without metal wires or brackets. It has been proven
effective in clinical research and in orthdontic practices
nationwide.
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 our Doctor has
prescribed. You'll visit us about once every 4 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. The
key to a successful Invisalign case is, wearing the
aligners the require 22 hours per day!
