What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Each aligner is designed using advanced digital planning to ensure precise, predictable results.

At Cranford Orthodontics, we use iTero® digital scanning technology to create accurate 3D models of your teeth — allowing you to preview your future smile before treatment even begins.

Invisalign is removable and nearly invisible
Braces are fixed and may be better for certain complex cases
Invisalign allows normal eating habits
Braces may require dietary restrictions

For some patients, traditional options like Braces may still be recommended depending on treatment goals.
