How Clear Aligners Work
Invisalign uses a series of custom, clear plastic trays that gradually move your teeth into better alignment. You switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, and we check your progress at regular appointments.
Because the aligners are removable, you can eat the foods you enjoy and brush and floss normally, avoiding many of the hassles of traditional braces.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Clear aligners can correct many common concerns, including crowding, spacing and mild to moderate bite issues. During a consultation, we'll evaluate your teeth and let you know whether aligners are a good fit for your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies, but many adults finish in about 12 to 18 months. Simple cases can be shorter.
How many hours a day do I wear aligners?
For best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush and floss.
Will I need a retainer afterward?
Yes. A retainer helps keep your teeth in their new positions after treatment.
