Invisalign is a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners that straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.

Using advanced 3D computer imaging technology during the consultation process, we will develop a treatment plan based on your unique smile.

A set of custom-made clear aligners will be created to snugly fit your teeth at every stage of the Invisalign treatment process.

Invisalign clear plastic aligners are designed to move your teeth in tiny increments as your treatment progresses. You will wear each aligner for a certain number of days before it is replaced by the next one in the series.

This procedure will persist until your teeth reach the desired alignment. Your dentist will assess your individual needs to determine the length of your Invisalign treatment.

Your dentist will determine the duration of your Invisalign treatment based on your specific needs.

The length of your treatment can be influenced by factors such as the misalignment of your teeth or jaw, the configuration of your bite, and the extent of movement needed for correction.

The Invisalign aligners are made from USP Class VI medical-grade, high molecular weight polyurethane resins. They are free of BPA.

Since Invisalign aligners require no adjustments or tightening, you simply switch to a new set of aligners as outlined by your dentist. Your dentist will schedule brief appointments with you approximately every four to six weeks as needed.

During these appointments, your dentist will take the opportunity to review your progress and general oral health, answer your questions, and adjust your treatment as required.

Invisalign offers the following features:

• A discreet, low-profile appearance
• Smooth construction for enhanced comfort
• Do not require adjustment appointments
• Removable for eating, brushing and flossing

Cost will depend on the severity of your case and the duration of your treatment. For instance, the more severe the malocclusion, the more aligners you'll need and the more your treatment will cost.

In many instances, the cost of Invisalign is similar to that of traditional orthodontic treatment (braces).

You may find that Invisalign fits comfortably into your normal routine.

You should remove your aligners whenever you need to eat, drink, brush, or floss. This means there are no additional dietary restrictions, and you'll be able to brush and floss thoroughly and consistently.

Invisalign aligners are removable, meaning you can take them out to eat. As a result, there are no additional dietary restrictions when it comes to Invisalign, so you can continue to eat all the foods you love!

To prevent staining your clear aligners and potentially harming your teeth, we recommend taking out the aligners when drinking any beverages other than regular water.

The number of aligners you will need depends on the severity of your misalignment.

Your dentist can provide an accurate estimate of how many aligners you will need based on a thorough evaluation of your tooth position during an initial consultation.

Yes! Anyone who has healthy teeth and gums is a potential candidate for Invisalign.

An increasing number of adults are opting for orthodontic treatment these days, which is likely due to the availability of options like Invisalign.

Yes! Teens can certainly be candidates for Invisalign. In fact, Invisalign has developed a line of aligners to address the unique needs of teenagers.

Invisalign Teen aligners have compliance indicators on them (small blue dots that fade away after the aligners have been worn enough) to help teens stay on track with their treatment.

They also come with eruption tabs that create space for second molars and help prevent them from growing in crooked.

Typically, patients switch to their next set of aligners approximately every two weeks. Your dentist will provide you with details about the exact frequency for changing your aligners.

1. Rinse your aligners each time you remove them to help wash away dried saliva and plaque, which can contribute to dental decay and bad breath.
2. Soak your aligners as needed with denture cleaner, Retainer Brite, and/or the official Invisalign cleaning crystals.
3. Make sure to brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners. Proper oral hygiene is essential for keeping your teeth healthy and preventing cavities. If you neglect to brush and floss correctly, food particles and bacteria can get trapped between your teeth and the aligners, raising the likelihood of dental issues and bad breath.
4. Clean your aligners with a clear antibacterial soap. Clear antibacterial soap is an excellent and inexpensive way to keep your aligners clear, fresh, and free from harmful bacteria.
5. Gently brush your aligners to avoid scratching them, and then rinse off the soap. After that, you're done!

Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can play sports without worrying about causing damage to your aligners.

However, remember that Invisalign aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours a day, so plan your time accordingly.

It is also recommended that you invest in a sports mouth guard to protect your teeth, as orthodontic treatment can cause your teeth to loosen slightly as they shift into their new positions, and this can make them more susceptible to damage.

Yes! Just remove your aligners if needed to practice playing your instrument, and pop them back in when you're done.

Your Invisalign aligners will come with a case, and this is where you should store your aligners whenever you remove them to help keep them safe. Since the aligners are made of plastic, you should avoid leaving them in hot areas, as they could deform or melt.
