INVISALIGN
the world’s leading clear aligner
With over 20 years of research and development and 10 million patients treated, no other clear aligner system compares to the efficiency and results of Invisalign.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the high-tech way to straighten your teeth without traditional metal braces. Invisalign can correct a variety of aesthetic and bite issues such as crowding, spacing, rotated teeth, flared teeth, crossbites, overbites, and underbites. Invisalign uses a series of clear, comfortable and removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Each aligner is worn for approximately one week, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move little by little until they have straightened to the final position. An average case at the Invisalign Studio is takes about 6 to 8 months, and in some cases even less. Invisalign straightens teeth which leads to not only a more attractive smile, but also improved oral health and overall health and wellness.
What are Invisalign aligners made of?
Invisalign clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack® created exclusively for Invisalign treatment. Invisalign clear aligners are FDA-approved and contain no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten. They are thin, clear, and fit snugly over your teeth, making them virtually invisible.
Why is Invisalign the best aligner system?
Unlike other brands, Invisalign clear aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material, which is more comfortable and provides a superior fit. Invisalign aligners are also custom trimmed based on your gum line for comfort and appearance. As the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, Invisalign has successfully improved over 8 million smiles, including 1.5 million teen smiles.
Health Benefits of Invisalign treatment
Aligned teeth = healthy mouth + body.

reduces risk of gum disease (periodontitis) which has been associated with a number of health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes
improved chewing function and ability to properly digest foods
straight teeth and a wider dental arch opens the airway, which helps reduce snoring and the risk of sleep apnea
