The convenience and ease of use of the Invisalign system have made it the choice of over half a million people. In fact, Invisalign has been effective in giving hundreds of thousands of people amasing new smiles.
  • Most people won't notice you're in treatment
  • Won't disrupt your lifestyle
  • Free initial consultation with participating doctors

How Invisalign can improve the health of your mouth.

Teeth that are crowded or too widely spaced can create unhealthy conditions, including swollen gums, redness and pocketing, all of which are signs of periodontal disease. As Invisalign invisibly straightens your teeth, it can also do great things for the health of your mouth.

Healthier Gums

Clinical studies have shown that gum health may improve with the use of Invisalign during orthodontic treatment¹. Properly aligned teeth can help gums "fit" tighter around each tooth², which may lead to better periodontal health. Unlike braces, with Invisalign, you can brush and floss normally, which can help prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Easier Cleaning

Unlike traditional orthodontics or braces, Invisalign has no metal bands or wires to trap food and plaque. Maintaining a good oral hygiene program will also reduce chances of plaque buildup, tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Improved Chewing and Speech

For some people, incorrectly positioned teeth and jaws can exacerbate speech difficulties and chewing problems. Correcting your bite by straightening your teeth can help improve both.

Lower Risk of Trauma and Abnormal Wear

Properly aligned teeth can be less stressful on supporting bone and jaw joints.

What is Invisalign?

A
Aligner A custom-made, nearly invisible dental device designed, patented, and manufactured by Align Technology. Advanced imaging technology is used to transform plaster models of a patient?s teeth into a highly accurate 3-D digital image. This image is then used to create a series of aligners that a doctor will use over the course of treatment to correct the positioning of a patient?s teeth. Attachments Forms bonded onto front or back surfaces of teeth to help achieve certain types of tooth movement with Invisalign®.
B
Braces Dental appliances used to exert pressure to straighten misaligned teeth.
C
ClinCheck® Proprietary software that depicts the movement of a patient's teeth in a three-dimensional view from the beginning to the end of treatment. Also allows the patient and doctor to review the projected movement. Cross Bite When the upper back teeth fit inside the lower teeth. Crowding A state in which teeth are positioned very close together and, in some cases, overlapping.
D
Deep Bite Excessive overbite in which the upper front teeth hide the lower teeth.
E
Extraction The act of removing a tooth or tooth parts.
I
Invisalign Platinum Doctor An Invisalign Platinum Doctor has received special training in the Invisalign system and has successfully treated 40 or more patient cases.
L
Lingual Lying near or next to the tongue.
M
Malocclusion Improper alignment of the biting or chewing surfaces of the teeth.
O
Occlusion The contact between the upper and lower teeth, more commonly known as the bite. Open Bite A condition in which the teeth don?t close or come together in the front, side or back of the mouth. Orthodontist A dentist specialising in the prevention or correction of misalignment of the teeth. Overbite When the upper jaw and teeth overlap the bottom jaw and teeth. Sometimes known as ?buck teeth.?
P
Preferred Provider Preferred Provider is a designation that belongs to a select group of Invisalign-certified Doctors who have achieved an exceptional level of Invisalign experience.
S
Spacing A state in which there is distance between teeth.
T
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) The joint between the head of the lower jawbone and the temporal bone that connects the lower jaw to the skull. Only the lower jaw moves when a person talks, chews or breathes. The upper jaw is stationary. A TMJ misalignment can result in the entire lower set of teeth being out of alignment. The result is commonly known as "overbite" when the lower jaw extends past the upper jaw, or "underbite" when the lower jaw rests behind the upper jaw. Misalignment of the TMJ can result in serious pain in the joint, headaches, and resistance when opening and closing the mouth.
U
Underbite When the lower jaw and teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth.
V
Veneers Porcelain or plastic material that is bonded to teeth.

Is Invisalign for Me?

Invisalign can be used to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults and teens.

Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. It's successful in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth. It can also relieve more complex issues, including overbites, underbites and even crossbites. In fact, an Invisalign Certified Orthodontist or Dentist can use Invisalign clear aligners in all or part of just about any treatment plan.

Made to fit your lifestyle, not change it.

Because Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to position and straighten teeth, you can keep your active lifestyle during treatment. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners have no metal bands or wires to irritate your mouth. So go ahead and be as active as you like. Since Invisalign is removable, just take the clear aligners out for special events or if you're going to indulge in a sticky, gooey snack.

Look your best during and after treatment.

Of course you want to look great, at work, at school, with friends. Maybe you speak to groups or conduct meetings. You still can. Because Invisalign is clear and nearly invisible, most people will never know you're straightening your teeth - unless you tell them. And when your course of treatment has ended, you can feel more confident, whether in front of people or not. You're going to have a stunning smile.

  • Step 1: Visit an Invisalign Certified Orthodontist or Dentist

    During the initial visit, your orthodontist or dentist will evaluate, assess and discuss the course of treatment with you. Your doctor will take bite impressions of your teeth and will send these to Invisalign for processing. Click here to find an Invisalign doctor near you now.

  • Step 2: Invisalign® makes your aligners

    Invisalign® uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners.

  • Step 3: You receive your clear aligners in a few weeks.

    During your next visit to your orthodontist or dentist, you will receive your first set of clear aligners. Your doctor will most likely give you a few additional sets to wear before your next visit.

  • Step 4: You wear your aligners.

    You'll wear each set of clear aligners day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Patients, on average, complete treatment in approximately a year. You'll visit your orthodontist or dentist at regular intervals to check your progress.

  • Step 5: You've finished treatment!

    Congratulations! When you're finished wearing each clear aligner in the series, your treatment will be complete and you will have straighter teeth and the beautiful smile you deserve.
