​Invisalign is an alternative to traditional metal braces. Instead of metal bands, brackets, rubber bands, and wires that are connected to your teeth, it uses a series of clear plastic aligners to gently move your teeth. These aligners are designed by a computer to move your teeth in a precise sequence that takes your teeth from their current position to a straighter arrangement.

​

Each aligner will be worn for two weeks, and then you switch to the next one. Once you have gone through the full sequence, your teeth will be straight.
