Treatment at a Glance 

Invisalign treatment is a popular, effective method for straightening teeth if you’re not a fan of regular metal braces. Patients will receive a series of custom-made, clear aligners from our dentists that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. While each patient’s timeline may vary, most complete their treatment in about 12 to 18 months. Those with minor adjustments may finish sooner, while more complex cases could take longer. Regardless, to stay on track, aligners need to be worn for 20 to 22 hours daily, removed only for eating, brushing, flossing, or drinking anything other than water.

It’s also essential to keep aligners clean, as they’re worn throughout the day. Aligners should be rinsed under cool water and lightly brushed with a non-abrasive, non-whitening toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Hot water should be avoided, as it can warp the plastic. Maintaining good oral hygiene by rinsing your mouth and brushing your teeth before reinserting your aligners also helps prevent staining and bacterial buildup. With consistent wear and care, Invisalign aligners offer a comfortable, clear solution for achieving a beautifully aligned smile.

Invisalign is suitable for both teens and adults who are committed to wearing aligners as directed. However, patients with severe orthodontic issues may need more specialized treatment and thus, our dentists may refer you to a local orthodontist if this is the case. 

Generally, Invisalign is ideal for addressing:

  • Slightly crooked or overlapping teeth – for patients needing mild straightening.
  • Gaps between teeth – Invisalign can close minor spaces for a more even smile.
  • Teeth that protrude or are misaligned – helps gently reposition teeth.
  • Overcrowded teeth – especially effective for mild to moderate crowding.
  • Minor bite issues – such as open bites, underbites, and overbites.
