Yes, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners for eligible teens and adults. We do not offer lingual braces at this time.

Using a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners, Invisalign® gently shifts your teeth into place. Each aligner is worn for around two weeks before moving to the next in the series.

Don’t panic - give us a call. Depending on where you are in the treatment sequence, we may advise you to move to the next aligner or provide a replacement.
