About Invisalign
Adults and teens now have a modern choice for straightening their teeth. No more wires and brackets required – Invisalign is the clear alternative to metal braces that uses a series of virtually invisible and removable aligners that gradually move teeth over time. The benefits include: no food restrictions, little interference with sports or other activities, and teeth get straightened without most people knowing they are in treatment. Learn more and find a preferred provider at www.invisalignteen.com. Invisalign Teen is designed, manufactured and marketed by Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN), the leader in clear aligner therapy. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA clearance to market Invisalign in 1998.
