Invisalign - An innovative way to help you achieve beautiful straight teeth without unsightly and uncomfortable bands, brackets or wires. Invisalign uses computer technology to design clear, removable custom aligners that gradually guides your teeth into alignment. 

Due to the fact that aligners are clear and removable, you can smile without a mouthful of metals, achieve better home care, and enjoy food more. Most importantly, your appearance is not compromised during the course of treatment. 

What is invisalign

Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of.

  • Remove your aligners to eat, brush and floss

  • Change aligners every two weeks

  • Your teeth move little by little

  • Regular progress checks with your dentist or orthodontist

  • Results often in 6 months to 1 year

Getting Started

The path to your amazing Invisalign® smile begins here. 

    Step 1: See your certified Invisalign provider 
Dr. Teresa Tran Mercado, your certified Invisalign provider, will give you an overview of how Invisalign works, evaluate your situation, and answer your questions. 
Step 2: Map out a treatment plan. 
You and your doctor develop a treatment plan specifically for you. Then the doctor takes bite impressions of your teeth, which Invisalign will use to custom-mold a series of clear, removable aligners that will gradually move your teeth into an incredible new smile.

Clear Braces     Step 3: Your aligners are created. 
The advancements in technology that led to clear aligners were developed by Invisalign. Your aligners are created via precision computer mapping and design, then are shipped to your doctor. 
Step 4: Wear your aligners. 
You’ll receive your aligner series, switching to a new aligner every two weeks as your teeth move. Just wear each set of aligners night and day for a two week period, removing them only to eat, brush and floss. Visit your Invisalign provider on a regular basis for progress checks. Each case is a little different, but on average, treatment lasts about a year. Then you can show the real you with an amazing new smile!
