Invisalign® is the invisible way to
straighten your teeth without braces.
Invisalign® uses a series of clear
removable aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth
without metal wires or brackets. Invisalign® has been proven effective
in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. In
fact, over 70% of all U.S. dentists are certified to treat
patients with Invisalign®.
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 your dentist has prescribed.
You'll visit your dentist about once
every 6 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.
