If you’ve avoided orthodontic treatment in the past because you don’t like the idea of wearing traditional metal braces, Invisalign® might be the ideal solution for you. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign® uses clear plastic teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are custom-fit, optically clear, and designed to look virtually unnoticeable while you are wearing them. Best of all, the Invisalign® aligners can be removed whenever you need to eat or brush your teeth, making them more convenient than traditional braces.

Once a tooth is loosened with braces, bone grows around it in a process known as bone remodeling to provide support. Bone remodeling can take months or even years with braces alone, but is necessary to ensure straight teeth.
