InvisalignIf you want a more comfortable and discreet way to achieve a straighter smile, Invisalign® clear aligners could be the perfect solution for you. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. These aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults who want to improve their smiles without the appearance of metal brackets and wires.

The Invisalign treatment process is straightforward and designed to fit your lifestyle. After a consultation with our experienced dentists to determine if Invisalign clear aligners are right for you, our dental team will take digital impressions of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan. You will receive a series of aligners, each one slightly different, to be worn for about two weeks before switching to the next set. You will need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, but you can easily remove them for eating, brushing and flossing, which makes maintaining oral hygiene much simpler compared to traditional braces.

Invisalign aligners can effectively address a variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded or crooked teeth, gaps and certain bite problems. The clear aligners are designed to be comfortable and cause less irritation to your gums and cheeks than traditional braces. Additionally, because the aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
