  Invisalign®

Dr. Shaw is a Certified Invisalign® Provider.

Consider Invisalign® to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted – without braces. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Shaw can determine if Invisalign® is right for you.

What is it?

Invisalign® uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign® is made with 3-D computer imaging technology, and has been proven effective. Dr. Shaw is treating herself with invisalign® and can show you the amazing difference it has made in her smile.

Why would I want it?

Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign® also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

How does it work?

You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Shaw has prescribed. You'll visit Dr. Shaw about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months depending on your case.
