Overview

Invisalign is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with braces. Invisalign aligners are also trimmed based on your gum line for comfort and appearance.

Invisalign are made of flexible plastic material—called thermoplastic. 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 people may not even notice you’re wearing them. You can remove them to eat and drink, to brush and floss, or for special occasions.

Invisalign treatment can be a great solution for both adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smile. With new innovations and technological advancements, make it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite issues, from simple to complex — all without interrupting your busy life. And, there is a discreet blue dot on the outside of teen aligners, parents can be sure their child is wearing their clear aligners enough.
