What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners that are used in orthodontic treatment to gradually shift teeth into their desired position. These aligners are made of a special medical-grade, thermoplastic that is virtually invisible when worn. Invisalign aligners are removable unlike traditional braces, allowing patients to eat, brush and floss seamlessly.

You’ll wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, depending on your treatment plan, and it is designed to shift your teeth little by little, with results emerging gradually. Treatment usually is from 12 to 18 months for most patients but can be longer in more complicated cases.
