Invisalign Clear Aligners

Straighten your teeth discreetly with clear, removable aligners. No metal braces needed.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign represents a significant advancement in orthodontic treatment. This technology utilizes a series of custom-molded, transparent aligners that gently guide teeth into their optimal positions without the need for metal brackets, wires, or frequent office adjustments.

The clear trays comfortably fit over your teeth and are hardly noticeable to others. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign allows you to eat whatever you want, brush and floss normally, and feel confident throughout your treatment without the look of metal in your mouth.

More than one million patients worldwide have achieved successful results with this technology, making it a proven choice for individuals at various life stages seeking discreet orthodontic treatment.

How Invisalign Works

The treatment approach provides aesthetic advantages while maintaining effectiveness comparable to conventional methods. Here's the three-step process:

1

Comprehensive Digital Assessment & Planning

Your dental professional begins with detailed photographs and impressions of your teeth. These records are sent to Invisalign. Once the ClinCheck is ready, you will have an opportunity to see a 3D image of your treatment plan before proceeding with the treatment, getting it approved, and having the Invisalign aligners made. During the treatment, you can also see your progress every time you visit us for a new set of aligners.

2

The Treatment Phase

Your first set of custom aligners is fabricated using biocompatible, FDA-approved clear plastic. BPA-free, flexible material provides comfort and discretion. Aligners are designed to be worn continuously, removed only for eating and cleaning. Every two weeks, you transition to the next aligner in the series. Regular office check-ups every six weeks monitor progress.

3

Retention & Long-term Results

Upon completion of active treatment, custom retainers help maintain your new smile. Vivera retainers provide durable long-term retention. Proper retention protocols ensure lasting results from your orthodontic investment. Your dentist provides guidance on retention schedules and maintenance.

Invisalign for Teens

Contemporary adolescents deserve an orthodontic solution that aligns with their active, social lifestyle. Invisalign Teen represents a revolutionary approach to straightening teeth using transparent plastic aligners rather than traditional metal components.

Unlike conventional braces with visible brackets and wires, this system allows teenagers to pursue their interests without the frustration and lifestyle limitations that come with fixed appliances.

Key Benefits for Teens

Dietary Freedom

Teenagers can enjoy all their favorite foods without fear of damaging brackets or wires. Simply remove aligners during meals and replace them afterward.

Aesthetic Confidence

The clear construction makes aligners virtually invisible to peers and in photographs. Smile freely without worrying about brackets catching the light.

Sports & Activities

Athletes can participate in sports without concerns about mouth injuries from protruding wires. Musicians can play instruments comfortably.

Superior Comfort

Custom-fabricated aligners provide a comfortable, personalized fit. Smooth plastic eliminates the risk of cuts, abrasions, or irritation.

Parental Peace of Mind

  • Treatment Compliance Tracking: Specialized blue indicators on Teen aligners fade with proper wear. If the dots don't fade, parents know the aligners aren't being worn as prescribed.
  • Affordability: Treatment costs are comparable to traditional braces.

Advantages of Invisalign

More than one million patients have chosen this approach to straightening their teeth, and the reasons are compelling. Clear aligner therapy offers substantial advantages that extend far beyond simple aesthetic appeal.

Treatment Timeline

Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients complete treatment in about 12 to 18 months, though some simpler cases can be done in as little as 6 months.

The total number of aligner trays you'll go through depends on how much movement is needed. Some patients may need 15-20 sets, while more complex cases could require 30 or more.

After treatment is complete, you'll wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. We'll go over the retainer plan during your treatment so you know what to expect.
