What is the Invisalign system and how does it work?
The Invisalign System is a series of clear orthodontic appliances, called aligners, that allow you to straighten your teeth. Each set of custom aligners is worn for about 2 weeks and moves the teeth in small steps to the desired final position.

What are the primary benefits of using Invisalign?
Undetectable- The clear aligners are virtually undetectable to others.
Removable- The aligners are removable for eating, brushing and flossing.
Comfortable- The aligners are comfortable to wear, since there are no metal brackets, wires or permanent fixtures.

What do they look like?
The aligners are made of clear plastic and are virtually invisible. They look similar to tooth whitening trays, but aligners are custom-made for a better fit. Some people have referred to them as contact lenses for teeth because they are not really detectable to others.

Is this a new way to straighten teeth?
For years orthodontists have been using removable appliances for very limited treatment. Today, with the application of computer technology, the Invisalign System treats a broader range of cases with greater precision.
