The Invisalign™ System is a series of clear overlay templates called aligners that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult and teen patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask
Dr. Frost if you are a candidate for the
Invisalign™ system. Go to

Who’s eligible for Invisalign™?
Invisalign™ is appropriate for patients with erupted second or 12-year molars, which includes most teens. Ask your orthodontist or general dentist to see if your treatment can begin now, or if you might need to wait a little longer.
Does Invisalign™ really work?
Yes. In orthodontic and dental practices worldwide, Invisalign™ has been effective at straightening teeth for teens and adults. Nine out of ten surveyed patients have expressed high satis faction with their Invisalign™ experience.
How does Invisalign™ work?
3-D computer imaging technology maps the complete treatment from start to finish. From this plan, a series of custom-made aligners unique to your treatment is produced. You wear each aligner for about two weeks. During this time, the aligners gradually move your teeth. With each new aligner your teeth continue to straighten until they achieve the desired final position.
How much does Invisalign™ cost?
Only your doctor can determine the cost for your specific treatment. It depends on the kind of treatment you need, how long it takes, and even where you live. Invisalign™ treatment is often similar to the cost of traditional braces.
Your orthodontic insurance often covers Invisalign™ to the same extent as conventional braces. Many Invisalign™ providers also offer affordable monthly payment plans.
