Invisalign is the nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without wires and brackets. Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology a series of clear, customized removable appliances called aligners are created. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, moving the teeth gradually, week by week, until the intended results are achieved.
SmileWright Dentistry is located at 1202 Millennium Pky. in Brandon. For more information or to schedule an appointment for Invisalign Week, call 653-1455 or visit www.smilewright.com.
