Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about your smile? Do you want a more discreet way to straighten your teeth? If so, Invisalign could be the perfect solution for you. These aligners are made of durable plastic trays that gently move your teeth into the desired position. The best part is that Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible due to their clear and thin design. They are also comfortable and removable, allowing you to eat and brush your teeth without any inconvenience. With Invisalign, you can keep your normal routine and watch your teeth transform right before your eyes with Invisalign.

The Invisalign Treatment Process
Initial Consultation & Exam
Prior to starting your treatment, you will have an opportunity to discuss your desired smile outcomes with your dentist. They will carefully examine your bite and smile to determine if Invisalign is the appropriate solution for you. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have regarding your smile, Invisalign, or other available treatment options.
Aligner Fitting & Pick Up
Once you have been given the green light to proceed with Invisalign, your dentist will take scans or impressions of your teeth to ensure your aligners fit perfectly. Once your aligners are ready, you will visit our office to pick them up and begin your treatment. In some cases, your dentist may need to attach small fixtures to your teeth to aid in keeping the aligners securely in place.
Check-ins
While every treatment timeline is unique, you’ll most likely stop by our office every six weeks to pick up your next set of aligners. These check-ups are crucial as they ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and that your Invisalign trays are fitting correctly.
Before & Afters
A smile is worth 1,000 words.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
If you don't have severe oral health or orthodontic issues, Invisalign could be the right solution for your smile. However, if your dentist identifies extensive orthodontic problems, they may recommend metal or ceramic braces instead. To determine the best treatment option for your needs, reach out to our team and schedule a consultation today.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience some tenderness and soreness as your teeth start to shift. The gentle pressure exerted by the aligners prompts your tooth roots to move, leading to minor inflammation and discomfort. If you experience pain, we suggest taking Tylenol rather than ibuprofen, as ibuprofen's anti-inflammatory properties can affect tooth movement.
How should I wear my aligners?
Most patients are advised to wear their Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, although this may vary based on your specific treatment requirements. You will likely only need to remove them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistently wearing your aligners ensures optimal treatment progress and faster teeth shifting.
How should I care for my aligners?
Taking care of your Invisalign aligners is easy. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and water to gently clean your trays, removing any food particles or plaque. When you take out your aligners to eat, brush, or floss, store them in their case to protect them from bacteria and damage.
What should I do if I crack my aligners?
If you lose your aligners or notice any cracks, damage, or wear and tear, please contact us immediately. Delaying assistance could prolong your treatment and reverse the progress you have made. We will ensure you receive a fresh set of trays as soon as possible, allowing you to continue with your treatment plan.
Can I use my Invisalign trays as a nightguard?
We do not recommend using Invisalign trays as a nightguard. The clear plastic trays are designed for gently shifting your teeth, not for protecting them. If you struggle with teeth grinding and clenching at night, obtaining a nightguard and proceeding with traditional braces may be the best option. If you notice your aligners becoming cracked or worn down after waking up, please inform your doctor promptly.
What are Invisalign attachments?
Invisalign attachments, also known as buttons, are small tooth-colored composite resin dots placed on your teeth. When you insert your Invisalign aligners, they snap over these buttons, providing an anchor to keep the aligners securely in place. This allows your dentist to adjust the position of your teeth more precisely and effectively throughout your Invisalign treatment.
Can you see Invisalign when you’re wearing them?
Invisalign aligners are made of clear, thin plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Each tray is custom-made to fit your gum line seamlessly. However, if you eat or drink with your aligners in, they may become stained, potentially making them more noticeable.
How are Invisalign trays made?
The process begins with taking scans of your teeth to create a digital model of your mouth. This model is then sent to a local lab, where the aligners are crafted using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. These tools enable the creation of highly precise aligners tailored specifically to your needs. Once the aligners are completed, they are sent to your dentist to be fitted and delivered to you.
