Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Achieve a beautiful, healthy smile with Invisalign® – the clear and removable alternative to braces.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners work by using a series of customized clear aligner trays that are worn to gradually move your teeth into alignment. As your teeth move, your dentist will switch you to a new aligner that will shift your teeth even more until your smile is straight.

Getting Started with Invisalign® Treatment
How do Invisalign® Clear Aligners work?
Invisalign® Clear Aligners work by using a series of customized clear aligner trays that are worn to gradually move your teeth into alignment. As your teeth move, your dentist will switch you to a new aligner that will shift your teeth even more until your smile is straight. Your dentist will take digital impressions of your teeth before starting to ensure that the aligners fit comfortably.
Because Invisalign® Clear Aligners are removable, you can easily take them out while you eat or brush your teeth, making the process of straightening your teeth much easier. If you want to straighten your teeth, Invisalign® may be the best option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign® is the clinically proven, nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without metal braces. Invisalign treatment uses removable, clear plastic aligners that are worn day and night to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
We make Invisalign treatment affordable with transparent pricing and interest-free payment plans. You will need a diagnostic appointment to get a written quote which is valid for 3 months. Since Invisalign falls under orthodontic treatment, these costs may qualify for health insurance reimbursement.
Invisalign treatment can be completed in as little as 6 months, with average treatment times of around 12-18 months. Your treatment length will depend on your individual needs as determined by your dentist.
You will need to wear your aligners day and night for approximately 20-22 hours per day. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks and is then replaced with the next set in the series until your treatment is complete.
No, as long as you have all of your permanent teeth, you may be suitable for Invisalign. We also offer Invisalign Teen® – an alternative orthodontic option designed specifically for teenagers. Our orthodontists can use Invisalign aligners to treat children 7-11 years old.
Invisalign clear aligners are made of SmartTrack®, an elastic aligner material made of a medical grade polyurethane resin that is Bisphenol-A (BPA) free. This thermoplastic material is custom-made into thin, clear aligners. They are smooth to the touch without any sharp edges to ensure you can avoid ulcers.
Invisalign aligners are easy to remove, so you can still enjoy your favorite foods, snacks and drinks without feeling uncomfortable. This also prevents the aligners from staining and damaging and ensures you are able to maintain your oral hygiene.
As with conventional treatments, you may feel temporary pressure when you’re wearing your Invisalign aligners for the first 2-3 days after each new set. Invisalign aligners can temporarily affect the speech of some people, and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two until your mouth adjusts.
