Invisalign is a series of aligners that incrementally move teeth as prescribed by the dentist based on the required results of the patient.

The aligners are replaced every two weeks... each aligner moves the teeth a little more towards the goal of straightening the teeth.

In our office, once all the information is gathered, patients can view the final results of their alignment on the computer imaging program before committing to treatment.
