Invisalign is a series of clear aligners worn over the teeth to correct your bite and slowly move your teeth into their correct positions. The fixed aligners are custom made by a dental professional to fit your teeth precisely. Each aligner is worn for about 2 weeks before being replaced by the next gently moving you closer to your treatment goals. On average, patients notice an improvement in their smile after only a few weeks.

How does Invisalign® Work?

Invisalign® is an innovative solution for straightening teeth that are misaligned. In contrast to traditional braces, Invisalign® uses a series of aligners to gradually and subtly shift teeth into place. This process can take up to 10 months, or longer depending on the extent of the misalignment. Aligners are custom-made based on a mold taken of your teeth and are worn comfortably indoors for 22 hours each day. Each aligner is made up of thermoplastic which bends along with your teeth to move them towards their proper locations.

Benefits Of Invisalign®

How Do I Care For My Aligners?

Aligners should be rinsed daily. It’s a good idea to brush them with a soft toothbrush. To remove any food particles that may have accumulated you can use an antimicrobial solution on a cotton ball, or use the recommended cleanser.
