Invisalign -- The invisible way to straighten teeth!
Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of clear custom-molded Aligners. Invisalign is breakthrough technology that allows us to straighten teeth without braces!

Invisalign is the clear alternative to metal braces.


By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth with results you'll notice sooner than you think. The course of treatment involves changing aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into straighter position step by step, until you have a more beautiful smile. And unlike braces, these clear aligners can be removed while you eat and brush your teeth as usual.Less treatment time.

An average Invisalign course of treatment takes about a year. You'll be seen in the office every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments and to check progress. At regular intervals, you'll receive a new set of custom-molded clear aligners to continue the straightening process. The total number of clear aligners is specific to you, determined by your doctor for your course of treatment.Clear. And comfortable.

Since Invisalign is practically invisible, there's no unwarranted attention to your mouth. In fact, very few people will notice at all - unless you tell them. They're comfortable to wear and remove easily when you eat, brush, and floss.

All across the country, people like you now have great smiles and straighter teeth, thanks to Invisalign. Why not join them?

Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. It's successful in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth.

Getting started with treatment couldn't be easier.


The path to a more beautiful smile is simple and starts right here.


Step 1: The Initial Visit
During the initial visit, you will be evaluated to make sure invisalign will work for you. A series of photographs, impressions and x-rays are obtained and sent to the technitians at Invisalign.

Step 3: You receive your clear aligners in a few weeks.
During your next visit to out office, you will receive your first set of clear aligners. Your will most likely give you a few additional sets to wear before your next visit.

You will be given detailed instructions for when to wear them, how to take care of them and when to move on to the next set.
Step 4: You wear your aligners.
You'll wear each set of clear aligners day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.We find that the average patient will take between 12 and 18 months to achieve straight teeth. The special clin-check video will allow you to monitor your progress.
Step 5: You've finished treatment!
Congratulations! When you're finished wearing each clear aligner in the series, your treatment will be complete and you will have straighter teeth and the beautiful smile you deserve. We will fabricate a clear retainer for use at nighttime in order to maintain your smile.
