Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth; and there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.
Many of our patients had never considered traditional braces but are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign.

How will I know if Invisalign is right for me?
During our complimentary initial exam, the doctor will do an extensive evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign.
Can teens be treated with Invisalign?
Yes, Invisalign is appropriate if prescribed by an orthodontist for patients whose second or “12 year” molar are fully erupted.
Is Invisalign more expensive that braces?
Our treatment fees are based on the severity of the problem, not on whether braces or Invisalign is to be used.
Does Invisalign have to be worn all the time?
Although the aligners are removable, it is necessary to wear them all the time so your teeth will move. Teeth move with constant, steady pressure and failure to wear your aligners enough will not allow for movement. Aligners may be taken out for eating and brushing.
