Q: Does Invisalign really work?
Yes. In both clinical research and in orthodontic and dental practices nationwide, Invisalign has been proven effective at straightening teeth.

Q: What do aligners look like?
Aligners are nearly invisible and look similar to clear teeth-whitening trays, but are custom made for a better fit to move teeth. Some orthodontists and dentists have referred to them as "contact lenses for teeth."

treatment; you can also brush and floss
normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
