Q: What is Invisalign®?

A: 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.

Q: Does Invisalign® really work?

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

Q: How does Invisalign® work?

A: 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, then replaced by the next in
the series until the final position is achieved.

Q: What are the primary benefits of Invisalign®?

A: There are four primary benefits of Invisalign®:

1. Invisalign® is nearly invisible - you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.

2. Invisalign® is removable - you can eat and drink what you want in treatment; you can also brush and
floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.

3. Invisalign® is comfortable - there are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation; no metal or
wires also means you spend less time in the doctor's chair getting adjustments. Invisalign® allows you to
view your own virtual treatment plan before you start - so you can see how your straight teeth will
look when your treatment is complete.
