What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the use of metal braces. Invisalign is a series of custom-made clear braces that cover your teeth and gently pull them into the proper position over time. Because they are clear and can be taken on and off, they are less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
About Extraction
What Is Invisalign Made From?
Invisalign clear aligners are made from BPA-free plastic, and they are far more comfortable than traditional metal braces. These customized clear aligners are used to straighten your teeth and give you the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. Before you receive Invisalign clear aligners, you’ll have a consultation with us to discuss your smile goals as well as what you can expect with your treatment. Learn more on the Invisalign website.

Advantages of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
- These are clear braces. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.
- The movement of your teeth is more precise with Invisalign than traditional braces.
- It’s easier to maintain good oral health with Invisalign. You will remove the aligners when you eat, brush your teeth, and floss.
- These aligners are much more comfortable than metal braces. They don’t irritate your teeth or gums.
- Invisalign saves you time. Unlike braces that require more frequent office visits to change the arch wire and make adjustments, you will have fewer checkups with Invisalign. Treatment time is often shorter, too.

What Happens After Invisalign Treatment Is Completed?
After any orthodontic treatment, whether it’s Invisalign or anything else, we recommend that you wear a retainer. A retainer is designed to keep your teeth in alignment. Without it, your teeth can gradually move back to their former position. If your teeth start to shift, you may need to temporarily wear aligners again to reposition them. We will determine which type of retainer is best for your individual needs.
