We offer Invisalign to our patients because it’s often a faster, more predictable, and more comfortable option than traditional wire braces. Invisalign aligners can correct crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and gaps.

What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is treatment plan for straighter teeth that uses custom-sized trays, made from an innovative transparent material, that you slip onto your teeth. Most people see the results they want in just 12-18 months.

How does it work?
If we decide that Invisalign is right for you, the first step is to use our digital technology to take a precise 3D digital scan of your teeth. Using this scan, we’ll create your first set of custom clear aligners. You should wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day. Then, about every week or two—as your teeth shift—you’ll get a new set of aligners. Don’t worry, we’re involved every step of the way to monitor your progress!
Benefits of Invisalign
- Comfortable to wear: Your aligners straighten your teeth with just the right amount of gentle force.
- Works quickly: Many people see the results they want in six months or less, most by 12 months.
- Discreet: Since they’re almost invisible, people may not even notice you have your aligners in.
- Removable: Unlike braces, you can take your aligners out to brush, floss, and eat.
- Affordable: Many insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment up to 50% under orthodontic coverage.
