Straight Teeth, No Braces!!






Invisalign is a virturally invisible solution so you can smile during as well as after treatment. In fact,virtually no one will know you're wearing them unless you tell. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change them about every two weeks and your teeth will move toward the smile you have always wanted.



Invisalign is a Tecnique

Although it could be viewed as a product that can be purchased, it is actually another way to
apply orthodontic forces to teeth.
Therefore….. Technique is Important!

Every appliance has it’s strong points and weak points, and it is the experience of the treating Orthodontist that maximizes the strong points to achieve the desired result.
