Invisalign Clear Aligners
Transform your smile discreetly with the clear alternative to traditional braces
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable to wear.
Key Benefits of Invisalign
- Virtually invisible – most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them
- Removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing
- No metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation
- Fewer office visits required compared to traditional braces
- Predictable results with advanced 3D treatment planning
- Comfortable fit with smooth, custom-made aligners
Conditions Treated with Invisalign
Invisalign can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, making it suitable for both teens and adults.
Common Issues We Treat:
- Crowded teeth – when there isn’t enough space for teeth to align properly
- Gaps between teeth – spaces that can trap food and affect your bite
- Overbite – when upper teeth overlap significantly with lower teeth
- Underbite – when lower teeth protrude past upper teeth
- Crossbite – when upper and lower teeth don’t align properly
- Open bite – when teeth don’t touch when mouth is closed

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time typically ranges from 12-18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Some minor corrections may be completed in as little as 6 months.
Is Invisalign painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort for the first few days with each new aligner, which is normal and indicates the aligners are working. This discomfort is generally much less than traditional braces.
Can I eat and drink while wearing aligners?
You should remove aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners.
How do I care for my aligners?
- Rinse aligners with lukewarm water before and after use
- Brush aligners gently with a soft toothbrush
- Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic
- Never use toothpaste or harsh chemicals on aligners
- Store in the provided case when not wearing
