For information on Invisalign, please visit www.invisalign.com.

  • Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
  • The aligners are made through a combination of our expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
  • 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 we have prescribed.
  • You’ll visit us about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CLEAR BRACES:

  • Are clear braces as effective as traditional braces?
    • Yes, clear braces can be just as effective as traditional braces for many orthodontic issues, including misalignment, gaps, and overcrowding. However, severe cases may require traditional braces.
  • How do I care for clear braces?
    • Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Additionally, avoid hard, sticky, or discolored foods to keep the braces in good condition and prevent staining.
