Invisalign Clear Aligners

Powerful Results That Fit Your Lifestyle

The Invisalign Difference

Invisalign is a discreet alternative for patients who feel traditional braces aren't for them. Invisalign is a set of clear acrylic aligners that gradually move teeth into their proper positions. These aligners are removable and virtually invisible, so you can straighten your teeth with hardly anyone noticing! The lack of wires and brackets means you have no food restrictions! You can also floss and brush normally during treatment.

How Invisalign Works

Convenient Treatment Options And Reliable Results

Schedule An Appointment

How will Invisalign give you the smile of your dreams? Once you've decided on your treatment plan with Invisalign, we will scan your teeth to create the first set of clear aligners custom-made for you. Once they're ready, we will check them to ensure they fit properly.

You'll get several sets of clear aligners, which you will switch out every 1-2 weeks. You'll then have regular checkups every 6-8 weeks to check your progress. Once your teeth have shifted enough, we'll order the next sets of clear aligners. We repeat the process until we reach our goal — your beautiful new smile!

Invisalign FAQ's

Can Invisalign Treat Any Orthodontic Case?

No. While Invisalign can treat a wide variety of orthodontic needs, it does have some limitations compared to traditional metal or ceramic braces. We will help you evaluate whether Invisalign is the right choice to fit your unique needs.

What Material Does Invisalign Use?

Invisalign clear aligners are made from a durable, flexible plastic specifically designed for orthodontic treatment. The aligners are FDA-approved and contain no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten.

What if I lose or break an aligner?

If you lose or break one of your aligners, it is important that you let us know right away. We want to keep your treatment on track, and we will immediately order your replacement aligner.

What is the best way to clean my aligners?

The best way is to use the Invisalign Cleaning System that is available for purchase. You can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush, but toothpaste has abrasives that can scratch your aligners. Never place your aligners in hot water as it could permanently warp them.

Do I wear my aligners all day?

Yes. You will wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20-22 hours a day and only remove them for short periods for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

How long will Invisalign Treatment Take?

Every patient has different orthodontic needs. Therefore, it is hard to give an exact treatment time. On average, Invisalign treatment takes 12-18 months.
