Invisalign®

Dr. Wass is a certified Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® provider.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign is a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that are made with 3-D computer imaging technology. Each aligner is worn 2-3 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. You will visit Dr. Wass about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. As you replace each aligner with the next series, your teeth will move little by little until they have reached the final positions Dr. Wass has prescribed.
