Invisalign
Invisalign is a virtually invisible solution, so you can smile both during treatment and after. In fact, almost no one will know you are wearing them unless you tell. By using a series of clear, removable aligners that are changed about every two weeks, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth toward the smile you've always wanted.
Clear, Removable, Comfortable
Invisalign is comfortable to wear and easy to live with. You visit your doctor every month or two to check your progression and get new aligners. Average treatment time is about a year. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods. And you can brush and floss normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

The hygienic benefits of straighter teeth
Healthier Gums
Properly positioned teeth are easier to brush and floss than teeth that are crowded, crooked, or spaced too far apart. Properly aligned teeth can help gums fit more tightly around them, which may lead to better periodontal health.
Easier Cleanings
With maintenance of good oral hygiene, the chances of having plaque retention, tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease can be reduced.
Decreased Risk of Abnormal Wear
Properly aligned teeth can be less stressful on the support bone jaw joints.
