INVISALIGN DIRECTORY
In September of 2006 Invisalign (Align Technology Inc.) and OrthoClear settled their patent litigation dispute: In brief, Invisalign will be completing all OrthoClear patients that were initiated by all doctors. There will be no additional charges to the doctor or the patient. OrthoClear will cease and desist. OrthoClear patients in treatment have the option to continue their treatment traditional braces (metal or clear) or lingual braces (at additional cost) or complete their treatment with Invisalign's aligner trays. Those who choose this option will need to have their orthodontists take new molds which will be sent to Invisalign for aligner fabrication. The wait time will be 6-8 weeks. C'est la vie.

MEET THE COSMETIC BRACES FAMILY:
Me: I want invisible braces. I have big vanity issues.
Doc: Then you want "Cosmetic Braces."
Me: What are they?
Doc: Lingual, Invisalign, Clear
Me: How do they differ?
Doc: Let me tell you. Follow me.

Invisalign aligners to straighten teeth without brackets and wire: Another treatment approach for patients who want their teeth straightened but are adamantly against wearing brackets and wires on their teeth (not even Lingual (behind-the teeth) braces) .

33 completed cases: (letter received from Invisalign 2/17/01)

                    Today I received a letter from Invisalign saying they now had 33 completed cases
                    that I could now see on their site. "This body of clinical evidence supports the
                    effectiveness of Invisalign across a wide range of cases including crowding.
                    space closure, narrow arches, relapse, anterior intrusion, and limited treatment".
