Invisalign is a modern and discreet orthodontic treatment that gently shifts your teeth into proper alignment, giving you a straighter and more confident smile.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to fit your teeth. These aligners fit comfortably over your teeth and allow you to take them out whenever you need to eat, brush your teeth or step out for a special occasion. With Invisalign treatment, you can straighten your teeth without the inconvenience or self-consciousness often associated with traditional braces.
The first step starts with a comprehensive examination of your teeth and bite. Our skilled dentist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Using advanced digital technology, we will map out the precise movements of your teeth throughout the course of your treatment.
Invisalign aligners are designed to gradually and gently shift your teeth into their desired positions. As you progress through the series of aligners, you will notice your smile transforming before your eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Clear Aligners
What are Invisalign clear aligners and how do they work?
Invisalign clear aligners are custom-fitted, removable trays that gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. They are designed using advanced 3D imaging technology and worn in stages, each aligner making small adjustments. Patients wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat or brush.
How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?
Treatment time varies depending on individual needs, but most patients complete Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months. Mild cases may require less time, while more complex alignment issues can take longer. Consistent wear and regular check-ins with your dentist help ensure efficient progress toward a straighter, healthier smile.
Are Invisalign aligners uncomfortable to wear?
Invisalign aligners are designed for comfort and ease of use. Patients may feel slight pressure or discomfort when starting a new set, but this typically fades within a few days. The aligners are smooth and custom-made, minimizing irritation to gums and cheeks compared to traditional braces.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners should be removed when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the trays. Once you finish, it is important to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in to maintain hygiene and avoid food particles getting trapped underneath.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
Clean aligners daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush, or use a special cleaning solution recommended by your dentist. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the trays. Store them in their protective case when not in use to keep them clean, safe and properly shaped.
