Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation to assess your teeth, bite, and overall oral health.

Using digital scans and treatment-planning technology, your dentist can create a customized plan showing how your teeth are expected to move over time.

You will receive a series of clear aligners, with each set designed to make small, gradual changes to the position of your teeth. As treatment progresses, you will change to the next set of aligners according to the schedule recommended by your dentist.

Periodic visits allow us to monitor your progress and make sure your treatment is progressing as planned.

Clear aligner therapy may be used to improve a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Mild to moderate tooth misalignment
• Certain overbites and underbites
• Some crossbites
• Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment

Invisalign is not the right treatment for every orthodontic concern. During your consultation, we will evaluate your bite and tooth position and let you know whether clear aligners are an appropriate option for you.

One of the main reasons patients choose Invisalign is its flexibility.

The aligners are removable, which means you can continue enjoying your usual foods without the dietary restrictions commonly associated with traditional braces. You can also remove them to brush and floss normally, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.

The clear material also makes Invisalign a more discreet orthodontic option for patients who would prefer their treatment to be less noticeable.

Consistency is one of the most important parts of successful clear aligner treatment.

Aligners generally need to be worn for approximately 20 to 22 hours each day and should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.

Following your recommended aligner schedule and attending progress appointments will help keep your treatment moving as planned.

Once active treatment is complete, retainers are typically recommended to help maintain your new tooth positions.

It is never too late to ask about improving the alignment of your teeth.

Many adults appreciate Invisalign because treatment can be incorporated discreetly into work, social events, travel, and everyday life. Clear aligners may also be an option for responsible teens who are comfortable following the recommended wear schedule.

Every smile is different, so the best way to determine whether Invisalign is right for you is through an individual assessment.
