Invisalign® clear aligners offer a discreet and convenient solution for achieving a straighter, healthier smile. Unlike traditional braces that rely on metal brackets and wires, Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. These aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for individuals who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign Orthodontics: The Clear Option
Invisalign aligners are designed with precision to address various orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between the teeth
- Bite issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites
During your initial consultation, our orthodontist will evaluate your dental needs to determine if Invisalign aligners are the right solution for you. Using advanced imaging technology, we will create a personalized treatment plan that maps out the movement of your teeth over time.
Throughout your treatment, you will wear each set of aligners for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next set. The aligners are easy to remove, allowing you to maintain your normal diet and oral hygiene routine. Unlike braces, there are no dietary restrictions, and you can brush and floss without any added difficulty. For best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day.
Advantages of Invisalign Clear Aligners
One of the greatest benefits of Invisalign aligners is its comfort. Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, the aligners are gentle on your gums and cheeks. Additionally, Invisalign treatment requires fewer office visits compared to braces, as there are no adjustments or repairs needed for brackets and wires. Regular check-ins allow us to monitor your progress and ensure your smile is developing as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Invisalign treatment work?
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-designed to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set. The process is tailored to your needs using advanced technology, ensuring precise and effective results over time.
Is Invisalign treatment suitable for severe orthodontic issues?
While Invisalign aligners can treat many conditions, such as crowding, gaps and bite issues, certain severe cases may require traditional braces or alternative orthodontic options. A consultation with our orthodontist or orthodontist will determine if Invisalign aligners are the best choice for your unique dental needs and goals.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
To keep aligners clear and hygienic, rinse them after removal and gently clean them daily with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it may warp the plastic. Always store aligners in their provided case when not in use to prevent damage.
How often will I need to visit the dentist during treatment?
You will typically visit the office every six to eight weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. These appointments allow our dentist or orthodontist to monitor your progress, provide new sets of aligners, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
