Invisalign is offered as a low visibility appliance to straighten your teeth. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten the teeth, without metal or wires. Invisalign uses 3D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made, clear "aligners" are produced.
