Invisalign clear aligners provide a modern solution for straightening teeth, offering a nearly invisible and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. These aligners are made from a clear, smooth plastic material, which is custom molded to fit over your teeth. They work by gradually shifting your teeth into their proper alignment, addressing issues such as crowding, gaps or bite misalignment. Since they are transparent, Invisalign aligners are an ideal option for those who want a more subtle treatment.

One of the key benefits of Invisalign treatment is its convenience. The aligners are removable, allowing you to take them out when eating, brushing or flossing. This flexibility helps you maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without the difficulties that come with fixed metal braces. To achieve the best results, you should wear your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them when necessary.

During your initial consultation, our dentists will evaluate your teeth and determine if Invisalign clear aligners are the right option for you. A customized treatment plan will be created, and you will receive a series of aligners that are designed to move your teeth incrementally. You will switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, with each set gently shifting your teeth closer to their final positions.

Throughout your treatment, regular checkups with our dentists will ensure your progress is on track. These visits allow us to monitor your tooth movement and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
