Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays to move teeth a small amount at a time. The trays are removable for eating and brushing and are nearly invisible when worn.
Who may need this service
- Adults and teens with crowding, gaps or mild bite issues
- Patients who want a less visible alternative to braces
- Patients with a history of orthodontic relapse
