Invisalign® Clear Aligners
A straighter smile, designed around your life
Gradually straighten your teeth with discreet, removable clear aligners — a comfortable alternative to traditional braces, planned with digital scanning around your everyday life.
Clear aligners
Straighten your smile discreetly
A confident smile can make a lasting impression. With Invisalign® clear aligners, you can gradually straighten your teeth using a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible clear aligners that gently guide your teeth toward their planned positions. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine throughout treatment.
Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth. Each set is custom-designed for your smile and is typically worn for most of the day before progressing to the next set. Unlike traditional braces, aligners do not use metal brackets or wires — a popular choice for adults and teens who want a more discreet option.
How it works
Your Invisalign® journey
Step 1
Comprehensive smile evaluation
We evaluate your teeth, bite, alignment, and overall oral health to determine whether clear aligner treatment may be appropriate for you.
Step 2
Digital 3D scanning
Our iTero® digital scanner captures a highly detailed 3D image of your teeth — no traditional impression trays — for a comfortable way to capture your smile.
Step 3
Personalized treatment planning
Your digital scan is used to create a customized treatment plan based on your individual smile and orthodontic goals.
Step 4
Custom clear aligners
A series of clear aligners is created specifically for your plan. Each aligner makes gradual adjustments to your tooth positions.
Step 5
Progress monitoring
We monitor your progress throughout treatment and make sure your smile is advancing according to your individualized plan.
Step 6
Your new smile
Once active treatment is complete, we discuss retention options to help maintain your new tooth positions.
Benefits
Why choose Invisalign®
Virtually invisible
Clear aligners are designed to be discreet for patients who prefer treatment that is less noticeable.
Removable
Take aligners out when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing so you can keep your regular hygiene routine.
Comfortable design
Custom-made to fit your teeth. Mild pressure when starting a new set is a normal part of tooth movement.
Easier oral hygiene
Brush and floss normally rather than working around brackets and wires.
No food restrictions from braces
Remove aligners when eating so you can enjoy the foods you love.
Digital treatment planning
Detailed 3D scanning helps you understand your goals and progress clearly.
Invisalign® for adults
It’s never too late to invest in your smile. Many adults want to improve crowded, crooked, or unevenly spaced teeth without the look of traditional braces. Invisalign® can fit into a busy professional and personal lifestyle.
Invisalign® for teens
For appropriate teenage patients, Invisalign® can be a discreet alternative to braces. Aligners are removable for meals and hygiene — consistency wearing them as directed is important for treatment to stay on track.
Treatment
What can Invisalign® help with?
Every smile is different. During your consultation, we evaluate your specific needs and determine whether clear aligners are right for you.
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Certain bite issues
- Teeth that have shifted over time
- Mild to moderate alignment concerns
- Certain cosmetic alignment concerns
Your Invisalign® consultation
Your first step is a personalized consultation. We examine your smile, discuss what you would like to change, evaluate your bite and alignment, and review your oral health. Using iTero® digital scanning, we may create a detailed 3D representation of your teeth, then discuss options, timeline, and what to expect.
Invisalign® and your everyday life
One of the biggest advantages is flexibility. Remove aligners for meals, special occasions, and hygiene — then put them back in as directed so treatment stays on track. We’ll guide you on caring for both your teeth and aligners throughout treatment.
How long does Invisalign® take?
Treatment time varies. It depends on your tooth movements, bite, goals, and how consistently aligners are worn. During your consultation, we provide a more personalized estimate based on your smile and proposed plan.
After Invisalign® treatment
Retention is an important part of maintaining results. Teeth naturally tend to shift over time. Wearing retainers as recommended helps protect your investment. We’ll discuss retention options after active treatment.
