Invisalign—The Clear Alternative to Braces

As one of the Top 1% of Invisalign Providers in the United States, Dr. Yao is dedicated to providing a clear alternative to braces to as many people as possible. Not only is Invisalign practically invisible, Dr. Yao has also found it to move teeth better and to be an easier treatment option for a patient. He has also invested in the latest equipment to give the best results and comfort to his patients.

While many are able to take advantage of Invisalign because of Dr. Yao’s experience, not everyone is a candidate. Dr. Yao provides different choices for braces, including clear ceramic braces and accelerated orthodontics—full straightening in as little 9 months.
