What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into ideal alignment. Each aligner is custom-designed to fit your teeth and is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next in the series.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, offering a more comfortable, flexible, and esthetic alternative to brackets and wires.

Patients wear the aligners for 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (other than water), brushing, and flossing.

Benefits of Invisalign®

Invisalign® clear aligners offer a wide range of benefits for patients looking to improve their smile discreetly and comfortably:

The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention—perfect for professional, academic, or social settings.

Each aligner is custom-fabricated to your teeth using 3D imaging and smooth edges, which reduce gum and cheek irritation compared to traditional braces.

You can remove your Invisalign® aligners during meals and oral care, making it easier to eat what you love and maintain good hygiene without special tools.

Many patients complete treatment in 12–18 months, depending on complexity. Some minor corrections may be completed even sooner.

Invisalign® uses advanced digital planning software to show your treatment progression before you begin, offering peace of mind and precise results.

Conditions Invisalign® Can Treat

Invisalign® is a highly effective solution for a variety of alignment and bite issues, including:

  • Crowded teeth: Overlapping teeth caused by limited space in the dental arch
  • Spacing or gapped teeth: Visible gaps between teeth due to missing teeth or jaw size
  • Overbite: When the upper front teeth extend significantly over the lower teeth
  • Underbite: When the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper front teeth
  • Crossbite: When upper and lower teeth do not align properly side to side
  • Open bite: When the upper and lower teeth don’t make contact when the mouth is closed

Caring for Your Invisalign® Aligners

To ensure optimal results from your Invisalign® treatment, it’s essential to care for your aligners properly. Follow these best practices:

  • Wear aligners 20–22 hours per day for maximum effectiveness
  • Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water
  • Rinse and clean aligners daily using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush
  • Avoid exposing aligners to hot water, which can warp the plastic
  • Store aligners in a protective case when not in use
  • Brush and floss after meals to prevent food particles from being trapped under aligners
