WHAT IS INVISALIGN?

Invisalign is a treatment that uses clear aligner trays to gently move teeth into place. The trays are worn in a series, over time, to create a beautiful smile. Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces, and does not have any brackets or wires. The Invisalign trays are discrete and are comfortable when worn, and do not cause gum or mouth irritation.

On average, Invisalign treatment takes between 6-18 months which is comparable to the treatment time for traditional braces. The Invisalign trays are worn anywhere between 20-22 hours a day, and are easily removable for eating and drinking.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR INVISALIGN?

We recommend Invisalign for adults who have crowding or spacing issues, but only need minor adjustments, or for those had braces in the past and are experiencing a relapse. Invisalign is a popular choice among adults and can also be an option for more complex cases. However, we typically refer more complex cases to an orthodontist.
