Invisalign®

The Clear Alternative to Metal Braces

Did you know that straight teeth can actually improve your oral health and overall health? When teeth are too widely spaced or crowded, they often become inflamed and red and can lead to progression of gum disease. Crowded teeth are much more difficult to floss, which can lead to plaque buildup and eventually tooth decay. Crooked teeth can also place excessive stress on the gums and the bone that supports the teeth, which can lead to chronic headaches as well as face or neck pain.

Improving your smile by straightening your teeth can help improve your self-esteem and happiness. Numerous studies have shown that having a better looking smile increases the amount you smile, which in turn leads to various health and wellness benefits, including lower stress and improved cognition.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign Treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.

What are Invisalign clear aligners made of and what do they look like?

Invisalign clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called  SmartTrack created exclusively for Invisalign Treatment.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?

Nearly invisible; you can straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing. Removeable. You can eat and drink what you want.
Better Oral Hygiene- You can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth.
Comfortable- There are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasion.

How will Invisalign treatment straighten my teeth?

Your Invisalign Doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your Invisalign Doctor will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.

What is the treatment process?

Your doctor will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.

How Long does Invisalign Treatment Take?

Depending on the complexity of your case, you could complete your treatment in as little as 6 months, but you’ll start seeing results in a matter of weeks!

I had traditional metal braces years ago. Since completing treatment with my braces my teeth have shifted. Can Invisalign Treatment fix this?

Yes, Invisalign clear aligners can treat nearly all common teeth-straightening issues, from simple to complex. Many people who formerly had braces choose Invisalign treatment as the discrete solution to improve their smile when they find that their teeth have shifted back.

Can I take my aligners off whenever I need to?

Yes, you can remove your Invisalign aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You can take them off for special occasions, like a wedding, job interview, or for playing your favorite sport or instrument. However, it is important to note that best results are achieved by wearing their Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours a day.

Are there any restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?

One of the most favorable benefits of Invisalign is the little to zero impact it has on your lifestyle. Yes, that means you can eat all of your favorite foods as always, even while going through your smile journey. It is important to note though, that you must remove the aligners before tucking into your favorite snack. The only thing you can eat or drink without taking your aligners out is water. You also need to be on top of your dental hygiene - after eating, give those pearly whites a brush and a floss and then stick your aligners back in.

Is Invisalign treatment painful?

Invisalign treatment moves your teeth by applying gentle, constant force, but some people do feel temporary discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. Typically, people describe it as feeling “pressure” and it’s normal — it’s a sign your Invisalign clear aligners are working and transforming your smile.

Will wearing Invisalign clear aligners effect my speech?

It may take a couple of days for your tongue to get used to having your Invisalign aligners in your mouth, and you may have a slight lisp. But this should disappear quickly.

Can I chew gum while wearing the aligners?

No, gum will stick to your Invisalign aligners. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks, including gum.

Can the aligners slip off while I am asleep?

It is very unlikely that your aligners would ever fall out, no matter what you are doing: sleeping, talking, laughing, etc. Invisalign clear aligners are designed to fit snugly around your teeth, so this should not be a cause for concern.

What’s the best way to clean my aligners?

The best way to clean your aligners is by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water and using the Invisalign Cleaning Crystals or special cleaning tablets. It’s important that you brush your teeth after each meal before re-inserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene.

If I have food residue (like blueberries or pasta sauce) in my mouth when I put my aligners back in, can they become stained?

Yes. That’s why it’s important to brush after every meal, before placing your Invisalign aligners back in your mouth.

What happens when I’m done with Invisalign treatment? Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?

Yes! Retainer wear after treatment is very important. If you are not compliant with retainer wear your teeth will shift back toward their initial position. We recommend wearing your retainer for life after treatment is done.
