With no wires, no brackets and no traditional braces, Invisalign offers a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. Discreet, fast-acting and convenient, Invisalign works by using a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one will be able to tell you’re wearing.
The A1 Advantage: Our Invisalign patients benefit from the use of our iTero digital scanner, which gives a 3D view of your current teeth as well as an instant preview of your new smile before you commit to treatment. No messy impressions, no guessing what the results will look like.
