INVISALIGN
Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable aligners (pictured at the top)
to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. Invisalign® has
been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices
nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists are certified to
treat patients with Invisalign®.

The latest
technology makes it possible |
Upon an initial examination, Dr. Z decides if Invisalign® is right
for you. Dr. Z will write a treatment plan and take an impression of
your teeth, which are submitted to Invisalign®. Using the latest advances
in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign® carefully translates
Dr. Z's
instructions into a series of precisely customized aligners. You then wear
each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth, gradually -
week by week, millimeter by millimeter - until you've achieved the
intended
result: straighter teeth. Generally, you visit Dr. Z no more than
you would with braces and the length of treatment is about the same.

No braces.
Nothing to hold you back |
Because there are no metal wires and brackets, Invisalign is comfortable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS |
How does
Invisalign work?
Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign translates
your doctor's instructions into a series of nearly undetectable Aligners.
You wear each set of Aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth
gradually week by week, millimeter by millimeter you've achieved the desired
result.
Is
Invisalign effective?
Thousands of doctors are treating patients with Invisalign. It works for a
wide range of patients whose teeth are too crowded or have spaces between
them, as well as for those whose teeth may have shifted after having worn
braces in their youth.
How often
will I have to wear my Aligners?
Invisalign only works while you're wearing the Aligners. It's recommended
that you wear your Aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush
and floss your teeth - or as directed by Dr. Z.
How long
does Invisalign take?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, which
determines the number of Aligners you need. However, the average is about 12
months, but only Dr. Z determines the length of your treatment.
How much
does Invisalign cost?
As with traditional braces, the cost will be based on the complexity of your
case and the length of treatment. Many doctors charge the same for
Invisalign as they do for traditional braces. Also, if your dental insurance
plan covers traditional braces, it will typically cover Invisalign to the
same extent.
