We are a Certified Invisalign Provider

Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful, straight teeth you’ve always wanted — without braces. A complimentary consultation with our office can determine if Invisalign is right for you.

What is it?

Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing so you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective to treat all but the most complex bite problems. Complex bite problems are still best treated with braces or a combination of surgery and braces.

Why would I want it?

Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment and no metal or wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

How does it work?

You wear each set of aligners for about two 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 doctor has prescribed. You’ll visit our office about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30 but both will vary from case to case.
