Invisalign® is a remarkable
system of invisible aligners that help straighten teeth
comfortably without metal bands, brackets or wires. The pieces
are easily removable so you can eat, drink, brush and floss.
Best of all, no one will know you're wearing Invisalign aligners
unless you tell them.
Now you can enjoy the smile you
have always wanted without the annoyance of metal in your mouth.
No huge brackets darkening your smile. No irritated lips or
cheeks. No worries about mouth injury while playing sports.
Invisalign can eliminate
crowding or large spaces between your teeth. Even complex cases
such as overbites, underbites and crossbites can be treated.
Typically, Invisalign cases
take about a year from start to finish. You will see Dr.
Cummings every 6-8 weeks to review your progress. You
will receive additional aligners every few visits. Treatment
time and the number of aligners you receive will vary case by
case.

your dentist. During your visit you can decide on your course
of treatment. Impressions of your bite will be made and sent
to Invisalign for processing.

using advanced 3-D computer imaging. Your bite impressions are
used to construct a custom-made series of clear and removable
aligners.
3. You will receive your
aligners.
4. You will wear your
aligners day and night, according to your dentist's
instructions. They will only be removed to eat, drink, brush
and floss.
Does
Invisalign work?

shown effective at straightening teeth.

Invisalign covered by insurance?

that covers orthodontic treatment, Invisalign should qualify.
