Invisalign

Invisalign® – Virtually invisible and removable.

Invisalign can give the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted. It works through a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell your wearing.

Invisible – so no one can tell you’re straightening your teeth. Now you can smile more during treatment as well as after.

Removable – so you eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.

Comfortable – because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments.

How does it work?

  • You will wear each set of aligners for three weeks – taking them out to eat, brush and floss.
  • As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Feller has prescribed.
  • Total treatment averages 6 to 18 months. As with traditional braces, treatment time vary depending on the patient and how much movement is required.

Common questions about Invisalign.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is the invisible new way to straighten teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal or wires.

Does Invisalign really work?

Yes. In both clinical research and in orthodontic and dental practices nationwide, Invisalign has been proven effective at straightening teeth.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses 3-D 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 aligners are produced. Each aligner moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks.
