Clear, at every stage
The problem: a year of photographs you would rather not be in.
Unlike other aligners, Invisalign aligners are clear, so you can smile with confidence no matter what stage of treatment you have reached.

Why Invisalign
The smile you want, without the hassle of braces.
Four reasons patients here choose aligners over the alternative, in the order they usually give them.
Removable
The problem: a list of foods you are no longer allowed.
The aligners come out, which allows for eating and drinking normally while you are on treatment, and for brushing and flossing the way you always have.
Gentle on the gums
The problem: metal parts and wires that cut and catch.
Invisalign is comfortable and gentle on your gums. There are no metal parts or wires that could cause irritation.
Invisalign will get you the results you want for the perfect smile faster than other methods. Whether you are a candidate is settled at a consultation, not on a web page.

Common questions
Before the consultation.
Am I a candidate?
That is what the consultation is for. Schedule one with us and we will tell you plainly whether Invisalign is right for your case, or whether something else is.
Can I eat normally?
Yes. The aligners are removable, which is the point of them. They come out to eat and drink and go back in afterwards.
Will anyone be able to tell?
The aligners are clear, which is what separates Invisalign from the alternatives, and there is no metal or wire anywhere in the appliance.
How long does treatment take?
Invisalign will get you the results you want faster than other methods, but the honest answer for your own case comes from your examination and scan, not from an average.
