Frequently Asked Questions

What is Invisalign®?

• Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
• Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
• Invisalign® has been proven effective in clinical research and in practices nationwide.

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 our dentist has prescribed.
• You'll visit us 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?

• The aligners are made through a combination of our dentist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
