Invisalign

Ages 12+ (no age restrictions)

Invisalign is an orthodontic alternative to the traditional metal braces. They are removable and near invisible aligners which gradually straighten your teeth. Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Every Invisalign aligner is unique and is convenient, flexible, and most importantly, discreet. A series of clear aligners are created to help straighten your teeth stage by stage, and every 1-2 weeks, you will switch to a set of new aligners. Invisalign treatment will help improve your bite, alignment and achieve a beautiful smile.

Invisalign is a suitable treatment for:

  • Crowding/crooked teeth
  • Spacing/gaps
  • Overbite/deep bite
  • Underbite
  • Protruded teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
