What
Is Invisalign®? 
• Invisalign® is
the invisible way to straighten your teeth.
• Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable
aligners (pictured to the right) to straighten
your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
• Invisalign® has been proven effective in clinical
research and in orthodontic practices nationwide.
In fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists are
certified to treat patients with Invisalign®.

How
Does Invisalign® Work? 
• You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks,
removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and
floss.
• As you replace each aligner with the next in
the series, your teeth will move - little by
little, week by week - until they have straightened
to the final position your orthodontist or dentist
has prescribed.
• You'll visit your dentist about once every 6
weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing
as planned.
• Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and
the average number of aligners worn during treatment
is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from
case to case.
How
Are Aligners Made? You'd Be Amazed... 
The aligners are made through a combination
of your dentist's expertise and 3-D computer
imaging technology. (click
