One of the major concerns that patients have with teeth alignment is the aesthetic look of metal braces. At American Dental Care, we offer Invisalign treatment to restore the aesthetics of your teeth. Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment that can rectify your grin, and cases like crooked teeth by offering comfortable, easy to use, transparent aligners that practically nobody can identify that you are wearing braces.
Invisalign is easy to use and offers you flexibility to safely remove, clean and change to another set. A lot of consumers often complain about traditional treatments which are cumbersome and cleanliness becomes a major problem, often rendering patients with other sets of problems like tooth decay, decalcification. Invisalign offers a perfect alternate to braces and provides flexibility to use these systems with at-home and overnight teeth-brightening frameworks.

Invisalign offers you an aligner which is made up of high grade transparent BPA free plastic which not only enhances aesthetic value of your smile but also gently treats it by aligning it as per your doctor’s plan. As an Invisalign customer, you will have to replace these aligners every two to six weeks which is customized as per the recommendation of our orthodontist.
