337-988-4041 Invisalign® clear aligners offer a modern and discreet solution for straightening your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Designed with advanced technology, Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions over time. Each set of aligners is created to address specific tooth movements, and you will switch to a new set approximately every two weeks. This gradual process allows for predictable, comfortable results tailored to your unique smile.
Invisalign aligners can correct a variety of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Bite problems such as overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites
During your initial consultation, our dentists will assess your dental needs and determine if Invisalign aligners are the right treatment for you. This option is especially popular among adults and teens who desire a more subtle orthodontic solution.
One of the key advantages of Invisalign treatment is its convenience. The aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic that minimizes irritation to your gums and cheeks. Because they are removable, you can take them out during meals, so there are no restrictions on what you can eat. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss, allowing you to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment. This flexibility makes Invisalign a practical choice for individuals with busy lifestyles.
Another benefit of Invisalign treatment is its virtually invisible appearance. The clear aligners are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, allowing you to smile with confidence during the entire process. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets or wires to adjust, which means fewer visits to the dental office for adjustments.
Throughout your Invisalign treatment process, our dentists will monitor your progress to ensure your smile is developing as planned. Regular check-ins allow us to make any necessary refinements and ensure that you achieve the best possible results. By the end of your treatment, you will enjoy a beautifully aligned smile that enhances your confidence and oral health.

FAQ
How does Invisalign treatment differ from traditional braces?
Invisalign treatment uses clear, custom-made aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush and floss with ease. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them ideal for those who prefer a discreet option for straightening their teeth.
How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?
The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, it takes 12 to 18 months to complete. However, some patients begin to see noticeable results within a few weeks. Our dentists will provide a personalized timeline during your initial consultation.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
For the best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed when eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing or flossing. Consistent wear is key to keeping your treatment on track and achieving your desired smile.
Is Invisalign treatment uncomfortable?
While Invisalign aligners are designed to be smooth and comfortable, you may feel slight pressure or mild discomfort when starting a new set. This is normal and a sign that the aligners are moving your teeth as planned. Any discomfort typically fades within a day or two.
