Orthodontic treatment with the Invisalign dental aligner consists of wearing a series of removable transparent aligners for several weeks or months in order to progressively straighten your teeth.

Thanks to modern 3-D imaging technology, you will know your treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the desired final position, from the beginning.
