Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners that works to gently reposition your teeth. In many instances, Invisalign can produce results in as few as six months. Invisalign has been proven effective in correcting orthodontic issues such as:

• Crowded teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Rotated teeth
• Malocclusions including overbite, underbite, and crossbite

While effective in treating these problems, Invisalign may not be ideally suited to every patient. Invisalign is effective in correcting some orthodontic problems, but more severe problems may require traditional wire and bracket braces.

Who Benefits Most from Invisalign?

Invisalign has become a popular alternative to braces for adults and older children who find the appearance of traditional braces unbecoming. Invisalign offers other advantages over braces such as making tasks like eating and cleaning your teeth easier as well.
