Invisalign®

What is Invisalign®?

Designed for both teens and adults, Invisalign clear aligners transform smiles and lives.

Teens reveal their best smile through a unique treatment developed just for them, while adults get the smile they’ve always imagined without putting their lives on hold.

How does it work?

Your Invisalign® clear aligners are custom-made for you. The aligners are virtually invisible and fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly, moving them horizontally and vertically and even rotating them when needed. Your aligners are engineered to use the right amount of force in the right place at the right time.

When you change to the next set of aligners (typically every week) your teeth gradually move into position, following a custom treatment plan mapped out by your doctor.

Only Invisalign clear aligners are made of proprietary, multilayer SmartTrack® material to gently shift your teeth into place.

Our Invisalign Provider, Dr. Galstian can help you smile with confidence. It's easier to straighten your teeth when you know that Invisalign is much more flexible than regular metal braces to let you like your life the way you want to.
