Invisalign clear aligners offer an innovative and discreet way to achieve a straighter smile, providing a comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. Unlike braces with wires and brackets, the Invisalign system uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that gradually guide your teeth into their optimal positions. These aligners are precisely tailored to fit your mouth, ensuring a comfortable and effective orthodontic treatment plan that adapts as your smile evolves.
Each set of Invisalign aligners is crafted to make incremental adjustments to your teeth, gently moving them over time. Typically, you will change to a new set of aligners every two weeks, allowing your teeth to shift gradually. Throughout your Invisalign journey, regular visits to our office will allow us to monitor your progress, making adjustments as needed to help you reach your desired results.
Invisalign therapy can effectively treat a variety of orthodontic issues, such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Bite issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites
Our team will conduct a comprehensive assessment during your initial consultation to determine if Invisalign aligners are the best option for your needs. The Invisalign system is particularly appealing to adults and teens who prefer a nearly invisible treatment solution. Crafted from smooth, durable plastic, the aligners are comfortable to wear and gentle on your gums. Additionally, Invisalign clear aligners are removable, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and maintain your brushing and flossing routine without interference.
We recommend wearing your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, brush and floss, to keep your treatment on track. Cleaning your aligners daily is essential to prevent discoloration, keeping both your aligners and your smile looking fresh.
If you are interested in learning more about how Invisalign therapy can help you achieve a confident, straighter smile, we encourage you to contact our office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Invisalign system work to straighten teeth?
Invisalign aligners use a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner set is designed to make slight adjustments, gradually shifting your teeth into alignment. Every two weeks, you switch to a new set, allowing your teeth to move in small, controlled increments until they reach the desired position. Throughout your treatment, regular check-ups will ensure that your progress is on track, allowing any necessary adjustments to keep your smile progressing smoothly.
What dental issues can Invisalign therapy treat?
Invisalign therapy is effective in addressing a range of orthodontic issues, including crowded or crooked teeth, gaps between teeth and various bite problems such as overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites. While Invisalign treatment is suitable for many patients, our dentists will evaluate your specific needs to determine if it is the right treatment for you. The Invisalign system is particularly beneficial for those looking for a more discreet way to improve their smile without traditional metal braces.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
For Invisalign aligners to be effective, it is recommended that you wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours each day. You should remove them only for eating, brushing and flossing. Consistent wear ensures that your teeth continue to shift according to your treatment plan, leading to optimal results in the expected timeframe. Wearing the aligners less than the recommended time may lengthen your treatment period.
Can I eat and drink while wearing Invisalign aligners?
No, you should remove your Invisalign clear aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating or drinking with the aligners in can lead to staining or damage. Fortunately, the removable nature of the Invisalign clear aligners means you can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. Just remember to brush your teeth and rinse the aligners before putting them back in to maintain proper oral hygiene and avoid trapping food particles that could lead to cavities or gum issues.
