Get the beautiful smile you've always wanted
Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of
custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it's been proven
effective in both clinical research and in practices nationwide. So
whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since
wearing braces, you'll have a new reason to smile.
The latest technology makes it possible
Upon an initial examination, Dr. Gordon decides if Invisalign is right
for you. Dr. Gordon will write a treatment plan and take an impression
of your teeth, which are submitted to Invisalign. Using the latest
advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign carefully translates
your doctor's instructions into a series of precisely customized
aligners. You then wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving
your teeth, gradually - week by week, millimeter by millimeter - until
you've achieved the intended result: straighter teeth. Generally, you
visit your doctor no more than you would with braces and the length of
treatment is about the same.
No braces. Nothing to hold you back
Because there are no metal wires and brackets, Invisalign is
comfortable. And because it is removable, eating, brushing and flossing
are no problem. You can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile
without holding back. With Invisalign, there's nothing to hide.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
How does Invisalign work?
Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign
translates your doctor's instructions into a series of nearly
undetectable Aligners. You wear each set of Aligners for about two
weeks, moving your teeth gradually week by week, millimeter by
millimeter you've achieved the desired result.
Is Invisalign effective?
Thousands of doctors are treating patients with Invisalign. It works for
a wide range of patients whose teeth are too crowded or have spaces
between them, as well as for those whose teeth may have shifted after
having worn braces in their youth.
How often will I have to wear my Aligners?
Invisalign only works while you're wearing the Aligners. It's
recommended that you wear your Aligners full-time, day and night, except
to eat, brush and floss your teeth - or as directed by your doctor.
How long does Invisalign take?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, which
determines the number of Aligners you need. However, the average is
about 12 months, but only your doctor determines the length of your
treatment.
How much does Invisalign cost?
As with traditional braces, the cost will be based on the complexity of
your case and the length of treatment. Many doctors charge the same for
Invisalign as they do for traditional braces. Also, if your dental
insurance plan covers traditional braces, it will typically cover
Invisalign to the same extent.
