Invisalign

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually shifts your teeth into their ideal position. The treatment involves wearing a series of custom-made, removable aligners made from smooth, nearly invisible plastic. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next in the series, gently guiding your teeth into alignment.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

• Discreet appearance – Clear aligners are barely noticeable, making them ideal for adults and teens.

• Comfortable fit – No wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks and gums.

• Removable – You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss—no food restrictions or special tools needed.

• Fewer office visits – Invisalign typically requires less frequent check-ins than traditional braces.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time varies based on individual needs, but most cases are completed within 6 to 18 months. You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours a day, only removing them for meals and hygiene. Regular progress checks will ensure everything is moving as planned.

Is Invisalign right for me?

Invisalign is effective for treating a wide range of issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. It’s best suited for patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns.
