What is Invisalign?

The Invisalign system uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten teeth. Invisalign is the clearest, least noticeable way to straighten teeth without having to modify your diet.. AO proudly offers Smile Outcome Simulations the same day of your exam. So you can see your end result the same day as your exam.

Is Invisalign Right For Me?

Invisalign is the most popular Adult and Teen orthodontic solution available. Our patients visualize the proposed treatment in a virtual three dimensional video to evaluate the end result prior to ever starting any treatment.

Do I Have to Change What I Eat?

When using Invisalign, patients remove the aligners when eating, brushing and flossing their teeth, otherwise it is worn 22 hours per day. Traditional metal or clear braces requires diet modifications to prevent the braces from breaking. Regular braces also require twice as much time keeping the teeth clean.

Is There Any Way to Speed Up Treatment?

Since our lives are occupied with selfies, Snapchat, Instagram and You-Tube videos – looking good while in treatment is just as important. Accelerated orthodontics combined with Invisalign offers picture perfect selfies in the shortest time possible, and with the least number of visits to our office. When combining Invisalign with Acceleration, our patients change aligners weekly as opposed to every 2 weeks, which shortens treatment time by 40-50%.
