The Best Way To Straighten Teeth
When it comes to orthodontics, you have two main choices: braces or clear aligners.
Invisalign is one of the leading clear aligner systems worldwide. Using precise 3D scans, custom trays are designed for a comfortable, nearly invisible fit. Many patients complete treatment in as little as six months, with noticeable changes in just weeks. Plus, Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can eat freely and maintain easy oral hygiene.

When Is A Good Time To Start?
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth or your dentist has recommended it, waiting only increases the risk of dental issues.

Starting treatment sooner can make the process quicker, easier, and less costly compared to waiting until misalignment worsens.

What Can You Expect Once You Start Your Treatment?
We’re here to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile and lasting oral health. Properly aligned teeth function better, and the best part? It’s never too late to start straightening your teeth.
Your Treatment Plan
We begin by capturing detailed images of your teeth using specialized technology. Then, with Invisalign’s advanced software, we map out the precise movements of your teeth throughout treatment. You’ll even get to see a digital preview of your future smile before we begin. Once finalized, your custom clear aligners are created using state-of-the-art printing technology.
The First Aligners
When your aligners are ready, we may attach small, temporary fasteners to your teeth. These help secure the aligners, but don’t worry—they’re virtually invisible and will be removed once treatment is complete.
Follow-up Appointments
You’ll wear each set of clear aligners for about two weeks, allowing your teeth to shift gradually. Every few weeks, you’ll switch to the next aligner in the series. Check-in visits are scheduled every 1 to 2 months to monitor progress and make sure everything is moving according to plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many people prefer Invisalign over braces because it’s more comfortable and less noticeable. The clear, custom-fit aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for special occasions. Unlike braces, Invisalign trays have a smooth surface that won’t irritate your gums or cheeks. They also apply gentler pressure, moving a few teeth at a time for a more comfortable experience.
Invisalign shifts your teeth gradually, so discomfort is typically minimal. Some people feel slight pressure or tightness, especially when switching to a new set of aligners, but this usually subsides within a few days. If you experience discomfort, let us know—we’ll make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.
Treatment time varies depending on your case, but most people wear Invisalign for 6 to 12 months. You may start noticing changes within the first six weeks. The more complex the alignment needs, the longer the treatment will take.
- Clean your aligners and teeth twice a day before putting them back in.
- Rinse your aligners whenever you remove them to prevent bacteria buildup.
- Store them in their case when not in use to avoid exposure to open air.
- Soak them in Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaner as needed.
- Do not use toothpaste to clean them—it can be too abrasive.
- Remove them before eating or drinking to prevent damage or staining.
No, it’s best to remove Invisalign before eating. Chewing can crack or damage the aligners, and food can get trapped between your teeth and trays.
Yes! Invisalign should be worn while you sleep to ensure your teeth keep shifting properly. The only time you should remove them is when eating or drinking.
While you can brush your teeth with Invisalign in, it’s better to remove the aligners first for a thorough clean. Brush after meals before putting them back in to maintain good oral hygiene.
No, it’s best to remove Invisalign before drinking hot beverages like coffee or tea. Heat can warp or damage the aligners, affecting their fit and effectiveness. Wait until your drink has cooled before putting them back in.
