Invisalign® clear aligners offer a discreet and convenient way to achieve a straighter smile without the need for traditional metal braces. Utilizing custom-made, computer-generated plastic aligners, the Invisalign system gently shifts your teeth into their ideal positions. Invisalign treatment can address a variety of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Bite issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites
Invisalign treatment is ideal for those seeking a comfortable and nearly invisible way to correct their smile, and is especially popular and among teens and adults.
When you receive Invisalign aligners, you can expect:
- A Customized Treatment Plan: Your Invisalign treatment process begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine if this treatment is suitable for you. This will include taking highly detailed digital scans from which your aligners will be created. Our dentists will create an individualized plan tailored to your specific orthodontic needs.
- Gradual Progress: You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks. During this time, the aligners will make slight adjustments to the position of your teeth. As you progress through the series of aligners your teeth will gradually move into place.
- Comfort and Convenience: Made from smooth, thin plastic, Invisalign aligners are comfortable to wear. They are also removable, making it easy to maintain your oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
Benefits of Invisalign clear aligners include:
- Discreet Appearance: The aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who prefer a subtle treatment option.
- Ease of Maintenance: Since the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth as usual, ensuring better oral hygiene throughout your treatment.

FAQ
What are Invisalign clear aligners?
Invisalign clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and fit snugly over your teeth. They are designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position over time. Invisalign treatment is popular for its discreet appearance and comfort, offering an alternative to metal braces.
How does Invisalign treatment work?
Invisalign treatment works by using a series of custom-designed aligners that apply gentle pressure to move your teeth into alignment. Our dentists will take digital scans or impressions of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan. Every one to two weeks you will switch to a new set of aligners, each slightly different from the last, guiding your teeth closer to their final positions over time.
What are the benefits of Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces, including being nearly invisible, which makes them a popular choice for adults and teens who prefer a more discreet treatment. They are also removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush and floss with ease. Additionally, the smooth plastic material is more comfortable than metal brackets and wires, reducing the likelihood of irritation in the mouth.
How much does Invisalign treatment cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. On average, you can expect to pay between $3,000 and $8,000. Some dental insurance plans may cover part of the cost, similar to traditional braces. Our dentists and team will provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs and can discuss payment plans or financing options to help manage the cost.
How will Invisalign aligners affect my lifestyle?
Invisalign aligners are designed to have minimal impact on your daily life. Because they are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods without restriction. The aligners are clear, so they will not interfere with your appearance during treatment. However, it is important to wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results. You should only remove your aligners when eating, brushing or flossing. You may experience slight discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, but this is temporary.
Can I still receive Invisalign treatment if I have had braces or other dental work?
Yes, you can still receive Invisalign treatment even if you have had braces or other dental work, such as crowns or bridges. Invisalign aligners can be an effective solution for those who have experienced a relapse in their alignment after braces. Our dentists will evaluate your specific situation to determine if Invisalign treatment is suitable for you, and may adjust your treatment plan based on any existing dental work.
