work?
A: Yes.
In orthodontic
and dental practices
worldwide, Invisalign has been effective at
straightening
teeth. Nine out of ten patients
are "very or extremely satisfied" with their
Invisalign experience.
Q:How
does Invisalign
work?
A: Invisalign
uses 3-D computer imaging technology
to map the complete treatment from start to finish.
From this plan, a series of custom-made aligners
unique to your treatment is produced. Each aligner
is worn for about two weeks and gradually moves
your teeth, before being replaced by the next in
the series until the final position is achieved.
Q:How
A:
much
does Invisalign
cost?
Only your doctor can determine the cost for your
specific treatment. It depends on the kind of
treatment you need, how long it takes, and even
where you live. Invisalign treatment is often
similar to the cost of traditional braces. In
addition, if you have orthodontic
insurance
coverage, Invisalign is normally covered to the
same extent as conventional braces. Many doctors
also offer affordable monthly payment plans.
Be sure to inquire about your options with your
preferred provider.
Ask your doctor how lnvisalign can work for you.

SHOW THE WORLD WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
A Clear Alternative.
Invisalign is a virtually invisible solution so you
can smile during as well as after treatment. In
fact, virtually no one will know you're wearing
them unless you tell. By using a series of clear,
removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your
reeth right before your eyes. Change them about
every two weeks and your teeth will move-little
by little-toward
the smile you have always wanted.
Invisible. Removable. And Comfortable.
Invisalign is comfortable to wear and it doesn't
require you to change your busy lifestyle. You
visit your doctor every month or two to check
your progression and get new aligners. Average
treatment time is only about a year. Because
aligners are removable, you can continue to eat
your favorite foods while brushing and flossing
normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Invisalign makes it easy to
straighten your teeth without
bands, brackets, or wires.
