Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign orthodontic treatment involves a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gently straighten your teeth, all without the need for metal wires or brackets.

Using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, we will create a treatment plan based on your unique smile.

Your Invisalign aligners will then be manufactured to fit your teeth precisely at each stage of treatment.

Invisalign offers the following features:

• Smooth plastic design for greater comfort
• A discreet, low-profile appearance
• Options for children, teens and adults
• No adjustment appointments
• Removable for brushing, flossing and eating

Your Invisalign treatment will include a series of clear plastic aligners. Each aligner is designed to gradually move your teeth in small steps. You will wear each aligner for about two weeks (or as your orthodontist advises) before switching to the next one in the series, which will continue from where the last one left off.

This process will continue until your teeth are in their prescribed, corrected positions.

The cost of Invisalign orthodontic treatment varies depending on how complex your orthodontic condition is and the number of aligners required to achieve your desired results. Usually, the more severe or complex the misalignment, the more aligners you'll need, which can influence the overall cost of your treatment.

Concerns about cost are completely understandable. We offer dental financing and flexible payment plans to help you manage your budget for orthodontic treatment.

The answer to this question will vary depending on the nature and severity of your misalignment. Every case is different.

Based on a detailed evaluation of your bite during your initial consultation, your orthodontist will provide you with a precise estimate of the duration of your treatment.

Your orthodontist will give you an estimate of how long your Invisalign treatment might take, tailored to your individual case.

The duration of your treatment is ultimately determined by the nature and severity of your tooth or jaw misalignment. This determines the amount of movement that will be required to correct the problem and how many aligners you'll need to accomplish this.

Invisalign aligners are made from medical-grade polyurethane resins that are safe and free of BPA. These materials are of the highest quality and are specifically designed for medical use.

Yes! Almost anyone with healthy teeth and gums is a potential candidate for Invisalign.

Many adults today are choosing Invisalign aligners for orthodontic treatment because of their discreet appearance and the convenience of removing them to eat, brush, and floss.

Yes! Teens certainly can be candidates for Invisalign. In fact, Invisalign offers Invisalign Teen, a product line that is designed to meet the unique needs of teenagers.

Invisalign Teen aligners have two main features that set them apart from standard Invisalign aligners. They include compliance indicators. These tiny blue dots, which fade after two weeks of consistent wear, help teens monitor their treatment and know when to switch aligners.

They also come with eruption tabs for tweens and younger teens whose adult teeth are still growing in. These provide space for second molars and prevent them from growing crooked.

Yes, Invisalign has a product line called Invisalign First that can be used on kids as young as seven in some cases.

Compared to standard Invisalign aligners, Invisalign First aligners are smaller to fit baby teeth. They also feature an Eruption Compensation system that allows them to smoothly adapt to baby teeth falling out and adult teeth growing in.

Like any orthodontic treatment, Invisalign requires some adjustment at first. However, we believe you'll find it integrates smoothly into your daily routines. Invisalign aligners can be removed whenever you need to eat, drink, brush, or floss.

This means no dietary restrictions, and you can maintain your normal oral hygiene routine.

And because the aligners are made of a lightweight, clear plastic, they are almost invisible when worn, meaning your orthodontic treatment won't be that apparent to anyone but you.

You'll need to visit the orthodontist every 12 weeks during your Invisalign treatment for a checkup, so that your orthodontist can assess your progress. If any refinements or adjustments are needed for your treatment, they may require some extra visits.

Invisalign aligners don't need any adjustments or tightening. You just switch to a new set as directed by your orthodontist, so you won't have to visit us for these types of appointments during your treatment.

When you begin treatment, your orthodontist will specify how often you should change your aligners. The interval varies slightly among patients, but it's usually about every two weeks.

You can remove your aligners to eat, so there aren't really any dietary restrictions while you're undergoing Invisalign treatment.

We recommend taking your aligners out when drinking beverages other than water (pop, coffee, juice, etc.) to avoid staining and prevent sugars and acids from getting trapped between the aligners and your teeth.

There are several steps involved in keeping your Invisalign clear aligners clean. You'll want to rinse them each time you remove them from your mouth to wash away dry saliva and any developing plaque.

You should also clean your aligners thoroughly every day. Use a soft toothbrush, clear antibacterial soap, and cool water to clean them. Brush your aligners gently to avoid scratching, then rinse off the soap. That’s it!

Besides cleaning the aligners, make sure your mouth is clean before putting them back in. This involves brushing and flossing after each meal to remove food particles that can get stuck between your teeth and the aligners, which could lead to bad breath, cavities, or gum disease.

Always store your Invisalign aligners in the provided case when you're not wearing them. This helps keep them safe and clean until you're ready to use them again.

Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can play sports without worrying about damaging them.

However, keep in mind that in order to keep treatment on track, Invisalign aligners must be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day (or as prescribed by your orthodontist), so plan your time carefully.

Investing in a sports mouth guard is essential to shield your teeth during sports activities. Orthodontic treatment temporarily loosens teeth as they realign, which can increase their vulnerability to damage compared to usual.

Yes! Just take out your aligners to play your instrument, then put them back in when you're finished.

Keep in mind that you must wear your Invisalign aligners for about 22 hours a day (as prescribed by your orthodontist), so be sure to plan your practice time carefully.

Invisalign and braces are both effective orthodontic treatment options, but they differ in several ways that may affect their suitability for different individuals. 

Factors to consider when choosing between Invisalign and braces include esthetics, your personal preferences and lifestyle, cost, and the nature and severity of your misalignment. You can learn more here.

Your orthodontist will evaluate your individual situation and suggest the most suitable treatment plan for you.
