Invisalign® is a discreet, painless, and invisible way to straighten teeth. It uses a series of clear plastic aligners that fit over the teeth. The aligners gently straighten teeth and shift them to the proper positions. Invisalign® uses a series of small movements to move your teeth. The aligners place constant pressure on your teeth, which causes them to move a little bit with each new aligner. Ready to try it out?

What kind of bite problems can Invisalign® correct?
Invisalign® corrects the same dental problems as traditional metal braces; the only difference is that Invisalign® trays are almost invisible to the naked eye, and can be removed at will.
A great number of people report complete satisfaction with both the Invisalign® treatment and the stunning results.
Overcrowding
This occurs when there is too little space for the teeth to align normally in the mouth. Overcrowding can cause tooth decay and increase the likelihood of gum disease.
Large gaps between teeth
This can sometimes occur because teeth are missing or because the jaw continues to grow abnormally.
Crossbite
This common dental problem occurs when one or multiple upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. As a consequence, uneven wear can lead to bone erosion and gum disease.
Overbite and Underbite
This problem occurs when the upper (lower) teeth project further than, or completely cover, the lower (upper)teeth. Eventually, jaw pain and TMJ may occur.
