Will Invisalign® Work For Me?
A vast majority of adults and adolescents can be treated with Invisalign®.
Invisalign®
treats a wide variety of cases, including crowding, space closure,
narrow arches, overbites, underbites, orthodontic relapse, anterior
intrusion, crossbites and other limited treatment cases.
Although
only an Invisalign®
certified dentist, like Dr. Meyer, can determine if Invisalign®
is right for you, there's a quick way to tell if you might be a
candidate. Take a look at some of these cases and Match

"While consulting with my dentist he approached me with wearing Invisalign instead of traditional braces. What I liked about the treatment was that I could see progress with each new set. They are clear and didn't affect my appearance. I have finished my treatment and it feels wonderful to receive so many compliments about my teeth."

Patient 4: Overlapping and Crowding
"After years of looking longingly at sets of straight teeth, I decided that it was time to do something about my overlapping front teeth. However, the thought of a 'metal mouth' was just not an easy option for me. The treatment itself was a breeze - no pain, easy to use, and best of all, invisible. I am thrilled with the results. Would I recommend it? Well, my 17-year-old son just got his first set of aligners last week!"
