Invisalign^®

Invisalign is a revolutionary new way for teeth straightening without braces by using a series of nearly undetectable aligners instead of wires and brackets. The clear aligners move your teeth, week by week, millimetre by millimetre, to the desired position. Using 3D computer technology each of your Invisalign^® aligners is made to sit snugly over your teeth and unlike normal braces can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing.

What is Invisalign^®

Invisalign^® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without conventional appliances. 
Invisalign^® uses a series of clear removable aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. 
Invisalign^® has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices throughout North America.

How Does Invisalign^® Work?

You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. 
As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position your orthodontist has prescribed. 
You'll visit your orthodontist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Total Invisalign treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

How Are Aligners Made?

The aligners are made through a combination of your orthodontist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology .
