comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So you can smile more during treatment as
well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology, and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada
are certified to treat with Invisalign.
Why would I want it?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no
problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in
your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your
straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it 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 Dr. Jacobson or Dr. Martin has prescribed.
You'll visit Dr. Jacobson or Dr. Martin about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9 to 15 months
and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
