Quick Answer

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth without metal braces. Treatment takes 12-18 months on average, and the cost depends on your case, so ask us for a quote. You wear custom aligners 20-22 hours daily, changing to a new set every 1-2 weeks as your teeth gradually shift into position.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and can be removed for eating and cleaning. It's an ideal solution for adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the look of metal braces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into position. Each aligner is slightly different, applying controlled pressure to specific teeth. You wear each set for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next aligner in the series.

Treatment typically takes 12-18 months, though some minor cases may be completed in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases may take up to 24 months. Your personalized treatment plan will include an estimated timeline based on your specific needs.

Invisalign effectively treats many orthodontic cases including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. We'll evaluate your teeth during a consultation to determine if Invisalign is right for your specific needs.

For optimal results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day. Remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is essential for staying on track with your treatment timeline.

The cost of Invisalign depends on how complex your case is and how long treatment takes. Ask us for a quote: we offer free consultations and payment plans. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign in the same way as traditional braces.

Most patients experience mild discomfort or pressure when switching to new aligners, which is a sign the aligners are working. This typically subsides within a few days. Overall, Invisalign is generally considered more comfortable than traditional braces with no metal brackets or wires.

You must remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This means you can enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions. Remember to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in to maintain oral hygiene.
