INVISALIGN EXPLAINED

Las Vegas, NV area patients who are interested in Invisalign often wonder what it entails. Invisalign is a way of realigning the teeth that does not require metal on the smile. Traditional braces require an orthodontist to place brackets and wires onto the teeth to aid in movement. However, Invisalign works differently. Invisalign uses clear aligner trays. These plastic trays are worn over the dental arch day and night to gently move the teeth into better positioning. Dr. Christopher Lim and his team of professionals work with patients to determine if they are an appropriate candidate for treatment.
