If you’re embarrassed by your crooked and uneven teeth, you’d probably love to have a more attractive smile but you may hate the idea of wearing traditional wire braces.

Fortunately, there’s a better way – Invisalign clear aligners. Used successfully by more than a million people, they fit over your teeth and gently move them into proper alignment. They’re comfortable, easy, fast and, best of all, virtually invisible – so no one knows you’re finally doing something to fix your smile.

Today’s Clear Alternative to Traditional Braces

The idea of using aligners to move teeth isn’t new, but it took computer power to make it simple and effective.

Today we use computers to generate a 3-D projection of exactly how your teeth need to move to reach their correct position. Computer assisted design and manufacturing technology then creates a series of totally personalized aligners to get the job done.

Each aligner moves teeth gently and gradually into a new position. When it’s done its job, you move on to a new aligner. To make sure everything is going according to plan we’ll check on your progress every six weeks or so.

Comfort and Convenience

Not surprisingly, the thing patients tell us they like best about these aligners is that they’re virtually invisible – so no one needs to know you’re working on your smile. But there are a number of other important advantages as well.

Unlike traditional braces, aligners don’t hurt. All you experience is a feeling of pressure. And because they have no sharp edges, there’s nothing to irritate your gums or cheeks.

Plus, Invisalign aligners are meant to be removed while eating, so you can enjoy all your favorite foods and drinks. And they come out for brushing and flossing, too, so you can keep your teeth and gums healthy.
