Why Should I Get Invisalign?
Invisalign is an excellent choice for those seeking a more discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment option. The clear, removable aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment. Additionally, Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults.
The Benefits of Invisalign

Customized Treatment
Each set of Invisalign aligners is custom-made to fit your unique smile, ensuring precise and effective tooth movement.
How It Works
Consultation and Planning
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation with our experienced orthodontist. During this visit, we'll assess your oral health, take necessary X-rays and impressions, and discuss your treatment goals. Our team will then develop a personalized treatment plan.
Custom Aligners
Based on your treatment plan, we'll order a series of custom-made Invisalign aligners. Each set of aligners is designed to move your teeth gradually into the desired position. You'll wear each set for about two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series.
Progress and Maintenance
Throughout your treatment, you'll visit our office regularly so we can monitor your progress and ensure your teeth are moving according to plan. Once you've completed your Invisalign treatment, we'll provide you with a custom-made retainer to help maintain your beautiful new smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
The length of your Invisalign treatment will depend on the complexity of your case. On average, most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months. However, some cases may require more or less time. During your consultation, our orthodontist will provide you with a more precise estimate based on your individual needs and goals.
Yes, one of the great benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during your treatment. However, it's important to wear your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours per day to ensure the best possible results.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Invisalign treatment. You may feel some slight pressure or tenderness when you first start wearing a new set of aligners, but this typically subsides within a few days. Many patients find Invisalign to be more comfortable than traditional metal braces, as the smooth plastic aligners are less likely to irritate your cheeks and gums.
