Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable. The aligners apply gentle pressure to shift teeth into their proper position, and you wear each set for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. Regular visits to our office will ensure your treatment is progressing smoothly.

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but on average, treatment typically lasts between 12 to 18 months. Some patients may complete their treatment in as little as 6 months, while others may take longer. During your consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan and give you a more specific estimate based on your needs.

Yes! Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic that is designed to fit comfortably over your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal wires or brackets to irritate your gums and mouth. Some mild discomfort may occur when you switch to a new aligner, but it’s typically short-lived and is a sign that the treatment is working.

No, you should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything except water. This helps prevent staining and damage to the aligners. You can eat and drink normally, but be sure to brush your teeth and clean your aligners before putting them back in to ensure your oral health remains in top condition during treatment.

Typically, you will need to visit us every 6 to 8 weeks for progress checks and to receive your next set of aligners. These visits allow us to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned and to make any necessary adjustments. Regular visits are essential to achieving the best results in the shortest time possible.
