What Makes Invisalign Clear Aligners Unique?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to straighten your teeth gradually. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are:
Virtually Invisible – Crafted from clear, smooth plastic that blends seamlessly with your teeth.
Comfortable – No wires or brackets to cause irritation.
Removable – Easily take them out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Efficient – Many patients see results in about a year, depending on their case.
With advanced 3D imaging technology, each set of aligners is precisely tailored for a snug, effective fit. Invisalign has earned the trust of orthodontists worldwide for creating beautiful, long-lasting smiles.

Discreet Treatment – Clear aligners straighten your teeth without the look of metal braces.
No Food Restrictions – Eat what you love without worrying about brackets.
