Orthodontic Care That Fits You

No two smiles are the same, and your Invisalign treatment shouldn’t be either.

Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten your teeth while fitting comfortably into your everyday life. Every treatment plan is tailored to your smile and carefully monitored by our doctors to help you achieve healthy, natural-looking results.

Along with improving your smile, properly aligned teeth are often easier to clean and can support better long-term oral health.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into better alignment.

Instead of brackets and wires, you’ll wear custom-made aligners that are designed specifically for your smile. Every one to two weeks, you’ll change to the next set of aligners as your teeth continue moving toward their planned position.

Because the aligners are removable, you can continue eating your favorite foods and brush and floss much as you normally would. Most people also appreciate that Invisalign fits naturally into their daily routine without drawing attention to their treatment.

Invisalign can often help correct:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Mild to moderate bite concerns
  • Teeth that have shifted over time

The first step is a consultation, where we’ll determine whether Invisalign is the right option for your smile.

What Your Invisalign Journey Looks Like

Knowing what to expect can make starting treatment feel much easier. Here’s what your journey typically looks like.

  1. Your Consultation
    We’ll examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for your needs. This is also your opportunity to ask questions and understand your options without feeling pressured.
  2. Digital Treatment Planning
    Using digital scans of your teeth, we create a customized treatment plan that maps out each stage of your smile transformation. Your aligners are then made specifically for you.
  3. Wear Your Aligners
    You’ll wear your aligners for about 20 to 22 hours each day, removing them only to eat, drink anything besides water, brush, and floss.
  4. Progress Checkups
    We’ll see you periodically throughout treatment to make sure everything is progressing as planned and make any adjustments if needed.
  5. Protect Your Results
    Once treatment is complete, we’ll recommend retainers to help keep your newly aligned smile in place.
