What You Need to Know About Invisalign
Do you wish you had straighter teeth? Has crowding continued to get worse as you’ve gotten older? Or do you wish you could smile without any gaps? Why wish for it when you can do something about it!
According to a recent survey, over 80% of people who used Invisalign were thrilled with the results!
Invisalign is great for adult patients looking for an alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that are easily removable and that produce amazing results in just a few months.

- Lower your risk of tooth decay and gum disease
- Make it easier to brush and floss
- Reduce TMJ pain and migraine headaches
- Protect your teeth so they will last longer
What’s Right For You?

| Easy to maintain | Easily removable for brushing and flossing | Must brush thoroughly to avoid “train track” stains on your teeth |
| Able to minimize decay | Doesn’t attract food particles or increase risk of tooth decay | Food can be easily stuck in the braces, leading to excess bacterial growth and tooth decay |
