How Invisalign Works

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. Each aligner moves teeth a fraction of a millimeter - and is worn for 20-22 hours per day before progressing to the next tray.

The Process

Treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth. Invisalign's ClinCheck software creates a 3D simulation of your treatment outcome - you see the final result before you start. Custom aligners are manufactured and delivered in sets.

Attachments and Refinements

Some teeth require small tooth-colored composite attachments to grip the aligner and create more complex movements. Refinement aligners are common toward the end of treatment to fine-tune the final positions.
