The Clear Way to Straighten Your Teeth

Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. It uses advanced 3D computer imaging technology to map out your complete treatment plan, from your current tooth position to the final desired position. A series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth to move them gradually. Each aligner is worn for about 14 days before being replaced by the next in the series until your teeth reach their final position.

Invisalign aligners are made of a thermoplastic material specifically developed for the Invisalign treatment plan. They look similar to teeth-whitening trays and are custom-made exclusively for you. Each set is designed to move your teeth in the exact sequence your orthodontist has planned.

Over the course of treatment, you receive a series of aligners. Each aligner makes slight adjustments to tooth position, mapped out in advance by your doctor for your specific situation. When worn, the aligners cause your teeth to gradually shift. After about two weeks, you begin using the next set, which continues the straightening process.

While Invisalign moves your teeth without the pain and anxiety metal braces can cause, some people experience temporary discomfort for a few days at the beginning of each new stage. This is normal and typically described as a feeling of pressure, which is actually a sign that Invisalign is working. The discomfort usually goes away in a couple of days.

Aligners are most effective when worn 20 to 22 hours per day and removed only for eating, brushing and flossing. The more consistently you wear them, the better your results.

Down payment is $249, with 24 monthly payments of $232, for a total cost of $5,995. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment just like other orthodontic treatments, covering anywhere from $500 to $3,000 of the cost. We can help verify your insurance coverage.
