Invisalign – The Clear Choice for a Straighter Smile

Comfortable, discreet, and custom-tailored for you.

What Is Invisalign?

A modern orthodontic system using clear, custom-made, BPA‑free plastic aligners to straighten teeth gradually. These trays are virtually invisible, removable, and designed via advanced 3D imaging technologies.

How Invisalign Works – Step-by-Step

  1. Initial Consultation & Assessment
    Evaluate suitability, take 3D scans or impressions using scanners
  2. Custom Treatment Plan
    Software maps your teeth’s progressive movement toward the ideal position.
  3. Fabrication of Aligner Trays
    A series of bespoke aligners is created to fit snugly and apply gentle pressure incrementally.
  4. Wearing the Aligners & Regular Progress Monitoring
    Typically worn 20–22 hours a day, switching to a new set every 1–2 weeks, with periodic check-ins.
  5.  Completion & Retention – Once alignment is achieved, retainers help preserve the new smile.

Benefits of Invisalign

  • Discreet – Nearly invisible when worn
  • Removable Lifestyle – Eat, drink (besides water), brush, and floss without obstacles
  • Comfortable & Gentle – Less discomfort than traditional braces Fewer Visits – No wires or brackets to adjust

Treatment Duration & Suitability

  • Typical Duration: Most cases complete within 6 to 18 months
  • Best Suited For: Mild to moderate misalignment, spacing, or crowding
  • Limitations: May not address complex bite or skeletal issues—traditional braces may be better for such cases

FAQs

How long does the average case take?

Most Invisalign treatments are completed in 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of tooth movement needed and how consistently you wear your aligners. Your dentist will give you a more accurate estimate after your initial 3D scan.

Can Invisalign treat overbites or gaps?

Yes — Invisalign can correct many common orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate overbites, underbites, crossbites, gaps, and crowding. However, severe bite or jaw alignment problems may require additional orthodontic treatment.

What happens if I don’t wear them enough?

Invisalign aligners need to be worn 20–22 hours a day to be effective. Wearing them less often can slow progress, cause discomfort when switching to the next set, and may extend your overall treatment time.
