Benefits of Invisalign
How Invisalign Works
Consultation and Evaluation
The first step is to schedule a consultation with our Invisalign-certified provider. During your visit, we’ll take detailed impressions and images of your teeth and discuss your treatment goals.
Customized Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we will create a personalized treatment plan that shows how your teeth will move over time and what the end result will look like.
Aligner Fabrication
Once your treatment plan is designed, your custom aligners will be created using advanced technology. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually move your teeth closer to their final position.
Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every 1-2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners that gently continue to move your teeth into place.
Regular Check-ins
You’ll return for periodic check-ups to monitor your progress and receive your next sets of aligners. These visits are typically every 6-8 weeks, depending on your treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Invisalign and how is it different from traditional braces?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners to gently and gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want a more discreet and flexible option.
How does Invisalign work to straighten teeth?
The treatment starts with a digital scan of your teeth to create a precise 3D model. Using this model, a series of aligners is designed to apply gentle pressure on your teeth, moving them step-by-step into the desired position. You wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks before switching to the next in the series, progressively reshaping your smile.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign is effective for many common orthodontic issues such as mild to moderate crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. However, for more complex cases like severe bite problems or very crooked teeth, traditional braces or other treatments might be recommended. Your dentist or orthodontist will evaluate your specific needs to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the severity of your case but generally lasts between 6 to 18 months. Some minor adjustments might take less time, while more involved corrections could take longer. Regular check-ins with your dentist help ensure your treatment stays on track.
Can adults get Invisalign treatment?
Absolutely! Invisalign is a great option for adults who want to improve their smile discreetly without the appearance of metal braces. Many adults appreciate the convenience of removable aligners for eating and oral hygiene, making it easier to maintain a healthy smile throughout treatment.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners in?
No. Invisalign aligners must be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with the aligners on can damage or stain them, and food particles trapped between your teeth and aligners can lead to decay or bad breath. Be sure to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in.
