The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom aligner trays — mapped out by computer simulation — to move your teeth gradually and predictably. Each set is worn for a period of time and then swapped for the next in the series.
The trays are removable and nearly invisible, which makes Invisalign a popular choice for adults with certain orthodontic bite problems who want a discreet alternative to braces. Ask us whether you're a candidate.
The benefits of Invisalign
Nearly invisible
Clear trays are hard to spot, so most people won't notice you're straightening your teeth.
Removable
Take the aligners out to eat, brush and floss — no food restrictions and easy hygiene.
Computer-planned
Your tooth movements are mapped out by computer simulation for a predictable, staged result.
Smooth and comfortable
The trays have no brackets or wires, so there's nothing sharp against your cheeks and lips.

Book a complimentary examIs Invisalign right for me?
Invisalign is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. The best way to find out if you're a candidate is a complimentary exam — just ask us.
Are the aligners removable?
Yes. You remove them to eat, brush and floss, and wear them the rest of the day and night as directed for the best results.
Are Invisalign aligners noticeable?
The trays are clear and nearly invisible, so they're much more discreet than braces — most people won't realize you're wearing them.
How does Invisalign move my teeth?
Each aligner is generated by computer simulation to move your teeth a little at a time. You switch to the next tray in the series on the schedule we give you.
Do you accept MassHealth for Invisalign?
