Smiles are powerful. With a single gesture, you can greet someone, set them at ease, or simply express joy at their presence. If you find yourself hesitating or even scared to open your mouth because you're not proud of your smile, consider changing it with Invisalign®. 

Who Can Wear Invisalign®?

Invisalign® aligners can be used to fix a wide variety of cases including:

• Underbite
• Overbite
• Gapped teeth
• Crooked teeth

Aligners can be worn by adults, teens, and even children as young as 6. Invisalign® First aligners can be used with children to address any developing issues, like crowding teeth. Invisalign® also has aligners for teens with mandibular advancement wings to fix any jaw misalignment while teeth are being adjusted.

Why Are Invisalign® Aligners Better Than Traditional Braces?

The Invisalign® process is more flexible than wearing traditional braces in several ways.

• Discreet. The aligners are clear, so no one will notice you're wearing them.
• Comfortable. There are no wires to poke you or rubber bands to irritate your mouth.
• Removable. Aligners can be taken out, so there's no need to avoid any foods or activities you currently enjoy.
• Easy to Clean. You can keep your teeth healthy while you straighten them.

How Can I Get Started with Invisalign®?

The Invisalign® process starts with a consultation where your doctor assesses the current placement of your teeth. The doctor will then map out a treatment plan for you to approve. Based on your doctor's evaluation, you will get a new set of aligners made just for your mouth every 1 to 2 weeks. You will wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours every day so that your teeth can be gradually shifted into their new placement. Treatment can be completed in as little as 6 months.
