What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each tray is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next.
Advantages of Invisalign
- Nearly Invisible: Most people won't notice you're straightening your teeth
- Removable: Take trays out to eat, brush, and floss normally
- Comfortable: No wires, brackets, or sharp edges
- Easy Maintenance: Normal brushing and flossing with removable aligners
- Predictable Results: 3D digital planning shows your treatment timeline
- Fewer Appointments: Fewer visits than traditional braces

4. Aligner Fabrication: Your aligners are created and delivered.
5. Check-ups: We monitor your progress with periodic appointments.
Treatment Timeline
Most Invisalign cases take 12-18 months, though it varies based on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners (we recommend 20+ hours daily).
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Invisalign works for most orthodontic cases—from minor crowding to significant bite corrections. During your consultation, we'll determine if Invisalign is right for you.
FAQ
How much does Invisalign cost?
Cost depends on treatment complexity. We offer competitive pricing and flexible payment plans.
Can I eat normally with Invisalign?
Yes! Remove your aligners to eat and drink, then brush before reinserting.
How often do I need appointments?
Typically every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligner sets.
Will my teeth shift back after treatment?
We provide retainers to maintain your results. Wearing them as directed prevents relapse.
