Orthodontic treatment with the Invisalign® system is performed with custom-made clear aligners to correct tooth positioning gradually. The aligners are made sequentially, in order to progressively move the teeth towards the desired position, until they reach the ideal position. Treatment with Invisalign® is personalized for each patient, with an individualized treatment plan developed by the orthodontist who is unique in treatments with the Invisalign® system, which is the Invisalign® Doctor. At our clinic, the person responsible for the Invisalign® Team is Dr. Gabriela Correia, who has a PLATINUM ELITE INVISALIGN® PROVIDER recognition degree.
