Clear Aligners
Straighten your teeth discreetly with Invisalign clear aligners - no one will know you're transforming your smile while you work, socialize, and live your life
Discreet Orthodontics
As an adult, the thought of metal braces affecting your professional image or social confidence can be overwhelming. You shouldn’t have to choose between straight teeth and feeling self-conscious in meetings, presentations, or social events.
Invisalign clear aligners solve this dilemma perfectly. These virtually invisible, removable trays gradually straighten your teeth while you maintain your professional appearance and active lifestyle. Unlike traditional braces, you can remove your aligners for important presentations, romantic dinners, or photos, then put them back in to continue your treatment.
No one at work needs to know you’re transforming your smile – you’ll simply arrive one day with perfectly straight teeth, and colleagues will wonder what’s different about your confident new look.

How does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into perfect alignment. Here’s your journey to a straighter smile:
Digital Smile Design – We create a 3D model of your teeth and show you exactly how your smile will look before treatment even begins.
Custom Aligner Series – Your complete set of aligners is manufactured specifically for your teeth, typically 20-40 trays depending on your case.
Simple Daily Routine – Wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss – no dietary restrictions.
Bi-Weekly Progress – Switch to your next set of aligners every two weeks as your teeth gradually move into their new positions.
Minimal Office Visits – Check-ups every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress – much less frequent than traditional braces adjustments.
Predictable Timeline – Most treatments complete in 12-18 months, with many patients seeing noticeable improvements within the first few months.
The best part? You maintain your normal lifestyle throughout treatment while your smile transforms discreetly and comfortably.

Invisalign Braces FAQ’s
How much does Invisalign cost?
Invisalign treatment typically costs $3,000 to $7,000, similar to traditional braces. The exact cost depends on your case complexity and treatment length. Most dental insurance plans that cover orthodontics will also cover Invisalign at the same percentage, usually 50% after deductibles. We offer flexible financing options to make your dream smile affordable with monthly payments as low as $99.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most Invisalign treatments complete in 12-18 months, though simple cases may finish in 6 months while complex cases can take up to 24 months. You’ll wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set. The key to staying on schedule is wearing your aligners 20-22 hours daily and attending your progress check-ups every 6-8 weeks.
Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign works excellent for crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites in teens and adults. You’re likely a good candidate if you have healthy teeth and gums and can commit to wearing aligners 20+ hours daily. However, severe bite issues or major tooth rotations may require traditional braces. We’ll evaluate your specific case during your consultation.
What are the benefits of choosing Invisalign
Invisalign offers virtually invisible treatment, allowing you to straighten teeth without affecting your appearance. You can remove aligners for eating (no food restrictions), brushing, and special events. The smooth plastic is more comfortable than metal braces, and you’ll need fewer office visits. Plus, you can see your projected results before treatment begins with 3D imaging technology.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
For optimal results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. This typically means wearing them while sleeping and throughout your daily activities. Consistent wear is crucial – skipping hours can delay your treatment and affect your final results.
How Do I Care for My Invisalign Aligners?
Clean your aligners daily by rinsing with lukewarm water and brushing gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything except water to prevent staining. Always brush and floss your teeth before putting aligners back in to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
