What are Invisible Braces?

  • Invisible braces are the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
  • Invisible braces use a series of clear removable aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
  • Invisible braces have been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. dentists are certified to treat patients with invisible braces.

How Do Invisible Braces Work?

  • You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
  • As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position your dentist has prescribed.
  • You'll visit your dentist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
  • Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

  • The aligners are made through a combination of your dentist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
