Invisalign
Invisalign treatment consists of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks.
Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place.
And since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and your dentist or orthodontist,
you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.

How Invisalign works
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners.
The biomechanics of Invisalign are exactly the same as traditional metal braces.
The series of custom-made aligners press directly on the teeth to exert pressure and gradually move them into place.
For the Invisalign dentist, everything is done prior to the start of any treatment.
The orthodontist or dentist will prescribe each movement and attachment during the treatment course during the evaluation appointment.
Planning is crucial and is geared towards the patient’s need.
