What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear plastic tray or aligner designed to move teeth to help you get your perfect smile. Dr. Godfrey uses software to design the aligners - then you wear them and change them every 7-10 days - each new aligner is slightly different moving your teeth!

How long does Invisalign take?
During your first appointment, we will take a 3D scan of your teeth. Dr. Godfrey will then design your Invisalign aligners and 2-3 weeks later you start! The length of the entire process depends on how much your teeth have to move, but most treatment is completed in 12-24 months.

Invisalign vs. Braces?
There are pros and cons to both:
Invisalign
Pros: Discrete and esthetic. Comfortable to wear and easier for eating and cleaning your teeth
Cons: In order to move teeth - they need to be in your mouth 22-24 hours a day - so you have to stay on top it.
Braces
Pros: Always on your teeth. Fun color options.
Cons: Can be uncomfortable at times, you have to be careful what you eat, generally more appointments, harder to clean
Both are great options and cost is the same!
