Learn How Invisalign® Works

A Revolution in COsmetic Dentistry

Invisalign® is an alternative to traditional metal braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth over time. Because the aligners are clear and virtually invisible, many people prefer Invisalign® to metal braces. Additionally, the aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making them more comfortable and convenient than traditional braces.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign®?

In addition to being virtually invisible, Invisalign offers a number of other benefits over traditional braces, including:

Removable. The aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making them more comfortable and convenient than traditional braces.

Comfortable. The aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable material that will not irritate your gums or cheeks like metal braces can.

Non-restrictive. You can still eat your favorite foods and drink beverages without worrying about damaging the aligners.

Few Visits. Because the aligners are changed every two weeks, patients typically have fewer office visits than those with traditional braces.

Easy to Clean. The aligners are easy to clean because they can be removed.

Transparent. The aligners are made of a clear, transparent material that is virtually invisible when worn.

How Does Invisalign® Work?

The Invisalign® system uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are made specifically for your individual teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth gradually begin to shift into their new, desired position. You will visit our office approximately every six weeks so that we can check your progress and give you the next set of aligners in the series. The entire process usually takes between 12 and 18 months, though this will vary depending on the individual case.
