Invisalign –  A “braceless” alternative to traditional metal braces!

To straighten your teeth with Invisalign or Invisalign Teen, you…

  • Wear each set of aligners every week
  • Remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush and floss
  • Visit us every few months so that Dr. Don and Dr. Kim can monitor your improvement and give you a new set of aligners

Because Invisalign dental aligners are clear and nearly invisible, they’re very popular with adult patients who, for business and social reasons, need to straighten their teeth and smiles without being seen wearing dental braces. Invisalign aligners may also be removed for special occasions when you just can’t be seen wearing orthodontic appliances.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a series of customized, clear aligners to straighten teeth faster and with fewer office visits than traditional braces. Thousands of orthodontists in the United States and Canada use Invisalign braces to accurately and effectively treat their patients. Invisalign aligners are:

  • Completely invisible – Invisalign aligners cannot be seen while you are wearing them! Friends, family members, and co-workers may never even know you are wearing braces unless, of course, you tell them!
  • Comfortable to wear – The aligners are made from special plastic with smooth, rounded edges so they won’t irritate your mouth and tissues like traditional braces often can.
  • Customized just for you – Your Invisalign aligners are customized to fit your mouth. Dr. Don and Dr. Kim use advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to replicate an exact impression of your mouth and teeth, then they customize each aligner so that it fits your mouth and, over time, moves your teeth into the proper position.
  • Removable –Unlike traditional metal braces, you can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush your teeth, floss, and for special occasions. There’s no need to change your lifestyle with Invisalign!
  • Effective – You will begin to notice a significant difference even before your treatment is complete! Most treatments are completed within one year; however, this can vary from patient to patient.
