An innovative, discreet, and effective system of care, Invisalign® treatment offers a cosmetic way to align your smile with minimal interference to daily activities.
Invisalign has revolutionized the way people achieve straight teeth and a more confident smile. Unlike traditional braces, which rely on metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. This modern orthodontic solution is not only discreet but also comfortable, providing patients with a flexible, convenient option for correcting misalignment, gaps, and bite issues. Whether you're an adult seeking a subtle way to straighten your teeth or a teen looking for a braces alternative, Invisalign makes the journey to a perfect smile easier and less intrusive.
One of the key benefits of Invisalign is the comfort it provides. The smooth plastic aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth, eliminating the irritation that metal brackets can cause. Plus, they’re removable, giving you the freedom to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease. This flexibility makes Invisalign a popular choice for those who lead active lifestyles or want minimal disruption to their daily routines.
Moreover, Invisalign treatment is backed by advanced technology. With the use of 3D imaging software, your dentist can map out a precise treatment plan, allowing you to visualize how your smile will look at each stage of the process. The digital approach ensures a customized experience, with aligners that are tailored to fit the unique contours of your teeth.

There are many options for patients who want to avoid metal braces! The most popular alternative orthodontic treatment is Invisalign®, which are clear plastic aligners designed to straighten teeth. After an examination of your teeth, your dentist will determine which option is best suited to your wants and needs.
According to the Invisalign® website, the cost for treatment is approximately the same as the cost for metal braces. A portion of this cost may be covered by your insurance. Please call us to set up a consultation and discuss potential payment plan options.
The first step is to schedule a consultation with your doctor, so they can devise a treatment plan that is best suited to your individual dental needs. Once approved, you will receive your first set of aligners. Your doctor will then regularly monitor the movement of your teeth and new aligners will be ordered according to the progress made in your treatment plan.
Invisalign® aligners are made of clear, flexible plastic. The company received a patent for this material – SmartTrack® – to be used exclusively for Invisalign treatment purposes. These aligners are FDA approved and nearly invisible!
Your doctor will give you an estimate regarding how long your Invisalign® treatment should take, which will depend on your specific needs. The average length of time for treatment is approximately 12-18 months. However, some patients may see results far sooner. Remember to wear your aligners exactly as instructed by your doctor to obtain the best results.
Your doctor will most likely recommend that you wear retainers following your Invisalign® treatment. This is a precaution that will prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positioning. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions exactly to ensure long-lasting results.
You must wear your aligners for up to 22 hours daily. You may remove them for eating, drinking and regular oral hygiene.
No. Unlike braces, you may eat whatever you like as long as you remove the aligners before eating. Prior to placing the aligners back on, it is important to brush your teeth and the aligners after you eat.
Like any orthodontic treatment, there is a short adjustment period. The more you speak with the aligners on, the quicker you will adjust.
There will be some pressure and minor discomfort for a day or two after each initial insertion. This is a sign that your teeth are moving sequentially into their final position.
It is recommended that you remove your aligners prior to chewing gum as the gum will stick to the aligners.

Brushing them with toothpaste will keep them fresh and clean.
Regular office visits are every five to six weeks. This will ensure that your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.
