What are Invisalign Braces?

Your Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured to gradually shift your teeth into place. Since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and Dr. Meyer, you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.

If you're ready for a smile that transforms your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life, ask Dr. Meyer about Invisalign.
