Our team of experienced orthodontists will ensure you get your beautiful smile while comfortably preserving the structure of your teeth with invisible, removable clear aligners.
Our custom-made series of clear aligners are created for you and only you.
And did we mention? No metal brackets, No wires!
We offer several options for clear aligner treatment.
Getting a perfect smile doesn’t have to mean metal braces anymore. Invisalign clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontic treatment by offering a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. But what exactly are they, and how do they work?
You’ll be provided with a set of custom-made, crystal-clear plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. These aligners gradually nudge your teeth into better positions, much like traditional braces – but without the whole metal-mouth look. The best part? You can pop them out when you eat, drink, or brush your teeth.
Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Your teeth shift gradually, and before you know it, you’re sporting the smile you’ve always wanted. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them unless you point it out.
Sure, there are a few trade-offs. You’ll need to wear them 20-22 hours every day (dedication is key!), and you might find yourself brushing your teeth more often than usual. Some people notice a slight lisp at first, but it usually disappears after a few days.
Cost-wise, Invisalign typically runs about the same as traditional braces, though prices vary depending on your treatment needs. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost.
Not everyone is a candidate – some complicated bite issues still need traditional braces. But for many people, Invisalign offers a flexible, comfortable way to transform their smile without broadcasting it to the world.
We’ll start with an initial consultation where your suitability for the treatment will be determined. During this consultation, an examination will be conducted to evaluate if Invisalign is the right choice for you.
If you are deemed a suitable candidate, the next step involves taking impressions of your teeth. These impressions create a 3-D model of your smile, allowing for a precise assessment of your teeth alignment. The model is then sent to the Invisalign lab, where a series of custom-made aligner trays will be created specifically for your treatment.
Once your aligner trays are ready, you will begin wearing them. You should keep the aligner trays on for at least 22 hours a day and take them off only when eating or brushing your teeth. Each set of trays is typically worn for two weeks before moving on to the next set. This progressive transition allows for gradual tooth movement, helping the teeth shift into their correct positions and deliver a beautifully straightened smile.
Upon completion of the Invisalign treatment, it is common for patients to receive a retainer. The retainer helps maintain the newly achieved straight smile and prevents teeth from shifting out of place. In most cases, patients are fitted with a permanent retainer discreetly placed on the back of their teeth, making it virtually invisible when worn.

Get acquainted with your customized treatment plan.
Your orthodontist will take your teeth impressions and show you the different stages of teeth positioning via 3D imaging.
Your treatment is complete once you finish with your last set of Invisalign trays. A retainer will then be made for your mouth, and you will need to wear it to maintain your results.
Yes! Invisalign treatment can be an excellent solution for adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smile. Our innovations and technological advancements make it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite issues, from simple to complex, without interrupting your busy life. And, thanks to a discreet blue dot on the outside of teen aligners, parents can be sure their child is wearing their clear aligners enough.
Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation with an Invisalign®-trained doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.
Bring your questions. You should also bring your insurance card and any information you might have about your dental history.
During your consultation, your doctor will discuss your teeth-straightening goals with you and examine your smile to determine your specific needs. Your doctor may also discuss how quickly you can achieve your new smile and the cost of treatment.
Your doctor will most likely recommend scheduling a dental checkup and cleaning before you begin Invisalign treatment to make sure your teeth and gums are in top health and to avoid unnecessary risks.
The length of treatment depends on multiple factors, like how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners. Your doctor will determine exactly how long your treatment will take based on your specific needs. On average, Invisalign treatment time is 12 to 18 months, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.
Your doctor will tell you how often you should change to new aligners (this can vary based on your individual treatment plan). Many doctors recommend changing Invisalign clear aligners weekly or every other week.
For the best results, wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out just for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Your doctor will schedule regular appointments, usually about once every four to six weeks. The goal of these visits is to ensure your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.
Invisalign treatment options are available for just top or bottom teeth, but consult your doctor for your individual needs.
We’re excited you’re ready to take the first step toward your perfect, amazing smile! See you soon!
