What is Invisalign®?
The Invisalign
® System is a virtually invisible treatment that uses an innovative approach to gently yet effectively straighten your teeth. Through a series of custom-made removable aligners made with unique SmartForce technology, the Invisalign
® system gradually and predictably moves your teeth to an ideal position.

How does the Invisalign® system work?
During your first appointment, your Invisalign
®-trained doctor will take photos, X-rays, and digital scans or dental impressions to create your treatment plan.
Using Align Tech’s proprietary Clincheck software, your doctor creates a customized 3D treatment plan based on your dental records. Your 3D treatment plan will depict the expected final position of your teeth and also gives you an indication of the likely length of the treatment.
The customized aligners will be manufactured and shipped to your doctor’s office.
Your series of custom-made aligners will be given to you (typically 3-4 sets at a time) for you to wear every day, and change approximately every 2 weeks.
You will visit your Invisalign
®-trained doctor approximately every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress, and receive the next series of aligners.
