Invisalign is a treatment which involves wearing a series of clear aligners that gradually align your teeth. These are removable, and do not include brackets, wires, or any of the restrictions associated with metal braces.

Invisalign aligners are made of thin, clear, flexible plastic which fit tightly over your teeth making them invisible. They are made from a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack® .Invisalign clear aligners are FDA-approved and contain no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten.

Every Invisalign treatment will start with a consultation whereby your dentist will help you determine what Invisalign treatment can do for your smile. You are encouraged to share your treatment goals during your consultation.

Yes! Invisalign is a great solution for both adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their teeth and their smile. Our innovative, technology makes it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening issues, from simple to complex —without interrupting your life.

Your Invisalign-trained doctor will begin by providing you with a customized digital treatment plan that shows the movements of your teeth and a step-by-step transformation of your smile.

Once you approve your plan, your customized aligners will be designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your treatment plan. Each set of aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day, and changed to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gradually shift your teeth into place. Your dentist will constantly monitor your progress and ensure your aligners always fit correctly.

The length of treatment depends on many factors. These include how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners. The exact length of the treatment will depend on your specific needs. However, Invisalign treatment usually takes up to 12 to 18 months, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

The change from a set of aligners to a new one is based on your individual treatment plan. Many doctors recommend changing Invisalign clear aligners weekly or every other week.

For optimum results, Invisalign clear aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. And should only be taken out to eat, drink, brush and floss.

Your doctor will schedule appointments, usually once every four to six weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

Your Invisalign treatment may require SmartForce^® attachments, small tooth-colored shapes that are attached to your teeth.

These attachments serve as handles, to give the aligners something to gently push on to move your teeth with the right amount of force. Invisalign clear aligners fit smoothly and tightly around them, so they’re barely noticeable.

Not everyone who uses Invisalign clear aligners will need SmartForce attachments. If needed, your doctor will attach them to your teeth at the start of or during your treatment and remove them when they are no longer needed.

Yes. Invisalign treatment options are available for just top or bottom teeth, but consult your doctor for your individual needs.

In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is similar to the cost of braces. Your doctor will determine the cost of your treatment based on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need.

Invisalign treatment typically costs about the same as braces.

Many doctors offer flexible and affordable monthly payment plans, which allow you to make small payments through the course of your Invisalign treatment rather than all at once.

Over 8 million people, including more than 1.4 million teens, have used Invisalign clear aligners to transform their smiles.

Invisalign clear aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material which moves teeth comfortably and predictably.
