Did you know that straighter teeth can also affect your overall health?

Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Many of our adult patients have never considered traditional braces but are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with the Invisalign system.
