Team Picture

Invisalign aligners straighten teeth, close gaps, and improve bite alignment for a healthier smile—in as little as 6 months.

You might not think crooked teeth are a problem if they don’t cause discomfort, but proper alignment is essential for long-term function and durability. Teeth that aren’t positioned correctly can lead to complications over time.

Studies show that nearly 9 out of 10 people experience some degree of crowding or misalignment, which can contribute to:

  • Worn-down, chipped, or fractured teeth
  • Food getting trapped between teeth
  • Difficulty flossing and maintaining oral hygiene
  • Higher risk of cavities in hard-to-reach areas
  • Periodontal disease, starting with gum inflammation, redness, and bleeding during brushing or flossing

What Is the Invisalign System?

A series of clear, removable aligners gradually shifts teeth into place, offering a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Though they may seem simple, these trays are made from a durable thermoplastic resin designed to guide teeth into proper alignment. The treatment works by changing to a new set of custom aligners each week, ensuring steady progress toward a straighter, healthier smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Braces and clear aligners each have their advantages, but many prefer the comfort and discretion of Invisalign. The nearly invisible trays allow for a subtle treatment process and can be removed when needed. Unlike braces, there are no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation. If trays cause discomfort along the gums, they can be adjusted easily. Since only a few teeth are moved at a time with gentle pressure, many find this method more comfortable than traditional orthodontics.

Mild discomfort may occur when switching to a new aligner, as gentle, continuous force shifts the teeth. This sensation usually lasts only a few days and is often described as slight pressure. It’s a sign that the treatment is working. If discomfort persists, consult your dentist for adjustments.

Most treatment plans range from 6 to 12 months, though noticeable movement may be seen within the first 6 weeks. The total duration depends on the complexity of the case and the desired results.

Aligners should be removed and cleaned at least twice a day along with your teeth. If taken out, they should be rinsed before being placed back in. Avoid leaving them exposed to open air. Aligners can be soaked in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals, then rinsed thoroughly before reinsertion. Eating and drinking while wearing aligners should be avoided, and toothpaste should not be used to clean them, as it may cause scratches. Detailed care instructions will be provided with your first set of trays.

No foods are off-limits, as aligners must be removed when eating. Unlike traditional braces, which require avoiding sticky, hard, or chewy foods, Invisalign allows you to enjoy everything you normally would. However, brushing your teeth after meals before reinserting the aligners is essential for maintaining oral hygiene and fresh breath.

Yes, aligners must be worn day and night, except when eating and drinking. Keeping them in for 20 to 22 hours per day ensures effective tooth movement over time.

A series of custom-made aligners gradually shift teeth into alignment. Each set makes small, pre-planned adjustments based on a digital scan of your teeth. Approximately every two weeks, the aligners are switched out for the next set in the sequence, continuing the straightening process.

More than 16 million people, including over 4.5 million teens, have chosen Invisalign to improve their smiles.

Clear aligners are designed to be nearly invisible. Most people won’t even notice them, making them an ideal choice for those looking for a discreet orthodontic solution.

Yes, aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. They can also be taken out for special occasions like weddings, job interviews, or sports. However, they should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day to achieve the best results.

It may take a few days for the tongue to adjust to aligners, and some people experience a slight lisp at first. This typically resolves quickly as the mouth gets used to the trays.

Most dentists recommend wearing a retainer after any orthodontic treatment to maintain results. The retainer helps prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Every case is unique, so speak with your dentist to determine the best retention plan for you.
