General Invisalign Questions
Invisalign is a teeth-straightening system that uses clear, removable aligners to gently move your teeth into the desired position. It provides a discreet alternative to metal braces.
Invisalign is suitable for most teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment issues. A consultation at our office will confirm if it’s the best option for you.
Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case, usually ranging from 6 to 18 months. Your dentist will give a personalized timeline during your consultation.

Treatment Process
After a consultation, digital scans or impressions of your teeth are taken. These are used to create a series of custom aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment.
For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, only removing them for cleaning.
Check-ups are usually every 6–8 weeks to monitor progress and provide your next set of aligners.
Comfort and Lifestyle

Aligners can be cleaned with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid toothpaste or hot water, which can scratch or warp the aligners.
