Invisalign^®

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment. It uses a series of clear, custom-made clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions. Your dentist uses advanced 3-D software to map out your treatment plan. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks before you move on to the next in the series.

Invisalign treatment takes an average of 12 months. This is significantly shorter than the typical timeline for traditional metal braces. Treatment length can vary depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Your dentist will give you a more specific estimate during your consultation.

Invisalign aligners are made from clear, transparent plastic. The material blends naturally with your teeth. Most people around you won't notice you're wearing them at all. This makes Invisalign a popular choice for adults and teens who want to straighten their smile without drawing attention to treatment.

You find Invisalign much more comfortable than conventional braces. Because there are no metal brackets or wires, there's nothing to rub against the soft tissues of your cheeks, lips, or gums. There are also no tightening or adjustment appointments. This eliminates one of the most common sources of discomfort associated with traditional orthodontic treatment.

One of the most convenient aspects of Invisalign is that the aligners are fully removable. You simply take them out before eating or drinking anything other than water. Enjoy your meal as normal. Put them back in afterward. Unlike traditional braces, there are no food restrictions to follow.

Maintaining good oral hygiene with Invisalign is straightforward. Because the aligners are removable, you brush and floss your teeth exactly as you normally would. Simply take out your aligners, complete your oral hygiene routine, and put them back in.

Periodic checkup appointments are part of the Invisalign process. You won't need to come in as frequently as you would with traditional braces. These visits allow your dentist to monitor your progress. We'll make sure your teeth are moving as planned. Compared to braces, your appointments are shorter and more straightforward.

Absolutely. You can enhance your newly straightened smile with additional cosmetic treatments. Professional teeth whitening is a popular next step. You'll gain a brighter smile to complement your improved alignment. We also offer a full range of cosmetic services, including veneers, tooth bonding, gum reshaping, and teeth contouring. Your dentist can help you build a plan that addresses all of your smile goals.
