Invisalign – Invisible Braces
Most adults who want straighter teeth never had orthodontics as a kid — and the idea of metal brackets at work or in photos keeps many from starting. Invisalign replaces the brackets and wires with a series of clear, custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and are difficult to notice in everyday conversation.
Treatment works in stages. After an evaluation, we take impressions or digital scans and map out how each tooth will move. You wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush. Over months, the series guides your teeth into their planned positions, with brief check-in visits to keep progress on track.
Invisalign can correct crowding, gaps, and a number of bite problems, but it is not the right tool for every case — some tooth movements still call for conventional orthodontics. A consultation is how you find out: we examine your bite, talk through your goals, and give you an honest answer about what clear aligners can and cannot do for you.
Why patients choose clear aligners
- Nearly invisible in photos and at work
- Removable for meals, brushing, and special occasions
- No brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks
