What Invisalign Treats
Crowded Teeth
Creates space to help teeth align properly and improve hygiene.
Gaps Between Teeth
Closes unwanted spaces for a more even, balanced smile.
Bite Problems
Corrects overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites for better function and long-term oral health.
Crooked Teeth
Gently aligns misaligned teeth to improve appearance and bite alignment.
How Invisalign Works
Consultation + Digital Scan
Your Invisalign journey starts with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll assess your bite, discuss your goals, and use our iTero digital scanner to create a detailed 3D image of your teeth—no messy impressions required. This scan helps us plan your treatment with precision.
Custom Aligner Design
Based on your scan, we design a series of custom-made aligners that will gently guide your teeth into better alignment. You’ll also see a digital preview of how your smile will look at the end of treatment, so you know exactly what to expect before you begin.
Wear and Switch Aligners
You’ll wear each set of aligners for 20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every 1–2 weeks, you’ll switch to the next set in the series as your teeth gradually shift into place. The process is smooth, flexible, and easy to follow.
Progress Checks
We’ll schedule regular check-ins to make sure everything is moving as planned. These visits are quick and help us keep your treatment on track. If adjustments are needed, we’ll take care of them early, so there are no surprises later on.
Your New Smile
Most Invisalign treatments are completed in 12–18 months, depending on your unique case. Once your teeth are in position, we’ll provide custom retainers to help maintain your results long-term and protect the investment in your smile.
