Like glaciers and tectonic plates, teeth are slowly yet surely on the move as they attempt to turn their host’s mouth into frozen tundra and then rip it apart like a bite-size Pangaea. Defeat devious teeth with today’s Groupon: for $2,999, you get a complete Invisalign treatment, including an exam, x-rays, impressions, clear trays, and office visits (a $6,297 value), at North Broad Family Dental in Elizabeth.

Dr. Jacob Plawner, D.D.S. of North Broad Family Dental wrangles wayward teeth into proper alignment with corrective Invisalign services. Invisalign straightens crooked chompers with a combination of highly advanced, 3-D computer graphics and the spells of old-fashioned orthodontia. The Invisalign process eschews cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial oral exam, including x-rays, photos, and impressions of your mouth terrain, paves the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift walnut crackers into perfect alignment. Throughout the 9- to 15-month treatment, clients return to the North Broad office for check-ups every six weeks, letting technicians ensure that teeth are settling into their proper seating arrangements.

Depending on the client’s teeth, as few as 12 or as many as 48 separate aligners will need to be worn during a period of 9–15 months before the straightening effect finally self-actuates in a sudden burst of pink smoke and slobber. Aligners are only removed when eating, brushing, flossing, or modeling a finely clenched jaw.
