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. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth; and there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.
Many of our patients had never considered traditional braces but are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign®.

HOW IS IT MADE?
Invisalign straightens your teeth, not with brackets or wires, but with a series of clear, comfortable and removable aligners. Utilizing the latest 3-D computer technology, we are able to create your customized aligners that you will change every two weeks and only take it out for eating, brushing and flossing. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will gradually move, until they move into the final alignment.

WILL INVISALIGN® WORK FOR ME?
To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using Invisalign®. Invisalign® is not intended for children and is not appropriate for every adult. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you. Drs. Grob, Donovan and Kacer are recognized as Elite Providers of the Invisalign® product. This distinction is based on extensive knowledge and experience with the product. Only 1% of orthodontists in the United States hold this prestigious distinction.

INVISALIGN® FAQ’S
How do I clean my aligners?
Your orthodontist will provide you with a special cleaning kit that you can use on your aligners. They may also be brushed and rinsed with lukewarm water.
Do I need to wear my aligners all day?
For optimal results, we recommend that you wear your aligners all day, except when you are eating or brushing your teeth.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Some patients may experience slight pressure at the beginning of each new stage of treatment when aligners are changed, yet Invisalign moves your teeth without the pain, hassle and anxiety of metal braces.
Are there foods that I should avoid while wearing Invisalign?
No! Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you don’t have to worry about avoiding hard, crunchy or sticky foods. Always remove your aligners before you eat or chew gum!
