Begin a New Day with a Simple SMILE!

Invisible Aligners

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your misaligned teeth, then choose to begin each day with a simple smile after wearing braces. Mild to moderate malocclusions of the teeth are easy to correct with invisible aligners that are worn for 6-15 months. Aligners feel comfortable to wear and are easy to remove while eating or brushing teeth.
While it is acceptable to remove aligners for special occasions occasionally, you will get the best and fastest results by wearing the device for at least 23 hours a day and night. Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks before switching to a new set.
