What is Invisalign®? Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten teeth without braces.

As each aligner is replaced with the next in the series, the teeth move little by little until they have straightened to their final position. Checkups with your dentist are necessary Read More →

Some try to buy insurance on their own, but run into restrictions, limits and piles of paperwork.
