What is Invisalign®?

  • Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
  • Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
  • Invisalign has been proven effective in clinical research and in dental and orthodontic practices nationwide. 
How Does Invisalign Work?
  • You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
  • As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position that Dr. Turley has prescribed.
  • You'll visit you our office about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
  • Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
How Are Aligners Made? You'd Be Amazed...
  • The aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Turley's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.  Visit www.invisalign.com to learn more about Invisalign and how the retainers are made.
