Invisalign Clear Aligner System

The Invisalign system gradually moves teeth by using clear overlay retainer appliances or “aligner trays.” This treatment process works through a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. Each aligner is individually designed and constructed via computer technology to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. Our Santa Barbara Invisalign center can give you the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted and you don’t have to wait until the treatment is over to Invisalign Orthodontics
