Introducing Invisalign.
A whole new way to straighten teeth
without calling attention to them.
Very few people have naturally straight teeth. And for years, braces were
the only option. Until now. Introducing Invisalign. A revolutionary new
way to straighten teeth-without braces.
So invisible, you’ll be the only one that knows.
Invisalign uses a series of nearly undetectable aligners instead of brackets
and wires. So it’s really hard for people to tell you’re wearing
Invisalign even close up. Invisalign can give you the smile you’ve
always wanted without the braces you’ve always avoided.
No braces. Nothing to hold you back.
Because there are no metal wires and brackets, Invisalign is comfortable.
And because it’s removable, eating, brushing and flossing are no
problem. You can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding
back. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to hide.
The latest technology makes it possible.
Upon an initial examination, we will decide if Invisalign is right for
you. One of our doctors will write a treatment plan and take an impression
of your teeth, which are submitted to Invisalign. Using the latest advances
in 3-D technology, Invisalign carefully translates your doctor’s
instructions into a series of precisely customized aligners. You then
wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth gradually—week
by week, millimeter by millimeter—until you’ve achieved the
intended result: straighter teeth. Generally, you visit our office no
more often than you would with braces and the length of treatment is about
the same.
Proven results behind great smiles.
In both clinical research and in dental practices nationwide, Invisalign
has been proven effective at straightening teeth.
Only a dentist who has been trained and certified can treat using Invisalign.
He or she will determine if Invisalign is right for you. It’s a
whole new way to get the smile you’ve always wanted without braces.
Straight teeth. No braces.

Frequently asked Questions and Answers
How long does Invisalign treatment take and how much
does it cost?
The duration and cost of the treatment depends on the
severity of your particular case, which determines the number of aligners
you need. You’ll wear each aligner for two weeks. So, generally
there may be as many as 48 in the series or as few as 12. Only your
dentist can determine the length of your treatment.
How often must I wear my aligners?
Invisalign ONLY works while you are wearing the aligners.
We recommend that you wear you aligners full-time, day and night, except
to eat, brush and floss your teeth-or as directed by your dentist.
Are there restrictions on what I can eat and drink?
In general, no. Unlike traditional orthodontics, you
can usually eat and drink whatever you desire, because you remove you
aligners. Thus, there is no need to restrict your consumption of any
of your favorite foods or snacks, unless instructed otherwise by your
dentist.
How often must I see my dentist?
Your dentist will schedule regular appointments usually about once every
six weeks. This is the only way your doctor can be sure that the treatment
is progressing as planned.
Will wearing the Invisalign aligners affect my speech?
Like all orthodontic treatments aligners may temporarily
affect your speech and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two.
However, as your tongue gets used to having aligners in your mouth,
any lisp or minor speech impediment caused by the aligners should disappear.
Will the treatment be painful?
Most people experience tooth soreness for a few days
after starting each new stage. This is normal. It is a sign that the
Invisalign aligners are working—sequentially moving your teeth
to their final destination. This soreness should gradually go away a
couple of days after you insert the new aligner in the series. If it
doesn’t, you should promptly call your dentist.
