Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable, providing an alternative to traditional metal braces.

Invisalign® works by gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position using a series of clear, custom-made aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately 1-2 weeks, then replaced with the next set in the series until your teeth are perfectly aligned.

The length of treatment depends on your individual needs and the complexity of your case. On average, Invisalign® treatment can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months. Your orthodontist will give you a more precise estimate during your consultation.

For the best results, it’s recommended that you wear your Invisalign® aligners for 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth.

Invisalign® aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat and drink. This means you can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your braces. Just be sure to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in to maintain oral hygiene.

Yes! Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners have smooth edges, making them comfortable to wear with minimal irritation to your gums and cheeks. You may experience slight discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, but this is normal and typically resolves within a few days.

Invisalign® treatment typically requires fewer office visits than traditional braces. You’ll generally visit us every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next sets of aligners. However, we’ll be in regular communication to ensure your treatment is on track.

Invisalign® is effective for treating a variety of dental issues, including crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, and gaps between teeth. During your consultation we’ll evaluate your dental needs to determine if Invisalign® is the right solution for your smile.

The cost of Invisalign® varies based on the complexity of your treatment and the duration of your plan. We offer flexible payment options and can help you find a plan that fits your budget. We also offer financing plans and work with insurance providers to make Invisalign® more accessible.
