General Information
Invisalign
Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth using clear aligners and not with traditional braces. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing while still being able to still eat and drink what you want. As the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth. In addition, there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.
Many of our patients would never consider traditional braces but are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign.
A consultation at our office, Innova Orthodontics, can determine if Invisalign is an option for you. Call now for a complimentary consultation.
