Benefits of Invisalign®

Since Invisalign® is more comfortable than conventional braces, patients may prefer it. No one would be able to tell that you are straightening your teeth because the aligners are invisible. You can wear them out to dinner, on a date, or to make a major presentation at work because they're only worn for 22 hours a day. Brushing and flossing your teeth as normal is all that is needed; no additional resources are required.

Aligners are simple to maintain, and you only have to wear them for a few weeks at a time.
