Straighten your teeth with clear orthodontic aligners. Below are some frequently asked questions about Invisalign:

Question: What are some of the benefits of Invisalign?

Thanks to their patented thermoplastic design, Invisalign aligners are metal-free and extremely comfortable. They are fully customized for each individual and are clear enough to go unnoticed by most people, including friends and family. Invisalign can discreetly and safely straighten your teeth without wires or metal bars.

Question: What are the food restrictions?

There are no food restrictions with Invisalign. The aligners can be removed before meals and snapped back into place afterward.

Question: What are the benefits of straight teeth?

Studies have shown that individuals with crooked teeth are more likely to develop tooth decay and gum disease than those with straight teeth. This is because plaque and food particles can more easily hide in the crevices of misaligned teeth. Additionally, crooked teeth are more susceptible to wear from grinding and clenching.
