What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic solution using clear aligners to align teeth gradually. Each aligner is custom-made to gently guide your teeth into their desired position. Every pair of aligners is custom-made to fit your specific teeth and are changed at two-week intervals as your teeth move.

Invisalign is ideal for adults and teens seeking a discreet and comfortable way to enhance their smile.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign works by applying light pressure to your teeth, with every set of trays being slightly different than the last. As you change out your aligners, each new pair works to gradually shift your teeth into the prescribed location. The process starts with a consultation with our Invisalign-trained dentist. At this visit, we'll create a 3D model of your smile, which Invisalign will use to digitally map out your tooth movement. This information will show us how long the process will take and the number of aligners needed to accomplish your smile goals.

We’ll provide a detailed care plan and discuss flexible financing options to fit your needs. If you decide you're ready to get Invisalign, we'll use your 3D scan to create a series of custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks, and then you move on to the next set in the series.

Over time, your teeth will gradually shift into the prescribed position. Invisalign treatment typically takes about a year, but the duration varies based on individual needs.

Wear Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours daily, removing them only for meals and oral hygiene.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

While traditional braces are effective at straightening teeth, they can be uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing.

Metal wires and brackets can easily irritate the inside of your cheeks and make it difficult to eat. Invisalign offers a number of advantages over traditional braces, including:

Discreet appearance: Invisalign aligners are made from clear BPA-free plastic and are virtually invisible.

Comfort: Your orthodontic aligners are made from smooth, flexible plastic that is gentle on your cheeks and gums. There are no sharp wires or brackets.

Removable: Take your aligners out when you eat or brush your teeth. You won't need any special oral hygiene devices to clean around your appliances.

No dietary restrictions: With Invisalign, you can eat whatever you want because you remove your aligners for every meal.

Fewer office visits: Invisalign requires fewer and shorter appointments than traditional braces, making them great for people with busy schedules.

Can Anyone Get Invisalign?

Invisalign is a great option for most adults (and some teens,) but it's not suitable for everyone. We'll need to evaluate your bite and dental health before prescribing any type of orthodontic treatment. Aligning your teeth with Invisalign can improve oral health by reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
