INVISIBLE & CUSTOM MADE ALIGNERS
Straighter Teeth Without the Metal
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. No brackets. No wires. No emergency appointments because a wire poked through. No list of foods you can't eat.
We use the
iTero digital scanner to capture a precise 3D model of your current tooth position and bite — and the system's Outcome Simulator lets you see a projection of your final results before we take a single clinical step. You come in knowing where you're headed.
