INVISALIGN

Do you need braces but don’t need the discomfort or unsightliness? Invisalign is a state-of-the-art alternative to braces that is almost completely invisible to other people because it lacks brackets and wires. Instead, Invisalign is a clear appliance called an aligner that is customized to your teeth.

Invisalign treatments require a series of aligners ranging from 12 to 48. You’ll have each aligner in for two weeks. You only remove the aligner to eat, brush and floss. As you go through aligners your teeth will slowly but surely adjust until you achieve the alignment prescribed by the Spitzer Dental Design team.
