The Invisalign® System is prescribed to patients through Invisalign-trained orthodontists or general practitioner dentists. Over 18 million(1) patients worldwide, including more than 5 million(1) teenagers, have been treated with the Invisalign System, the most advanced clear aligner system in the world.(2) Invisalign clear aligners are more comfortable(3) than braces and Invisalign treatment is as effective(4) as braces(5) for a wide range of clinical situations to address simple to complex cases and post-treatment retention. Multiple studies have found that Invisalign treatment completed 5 months faster, on average, than treatment with fixed appliances.(6)
