Invisalign® clear aligners
The clear path to a
better smile.
No metal. No hassle.

What Invisalign Can Treat
Clear aligner therapy is highly versatile and capable of treating a comprehensive range of structural or cosmetic bite and alignment spacing issues.
Crowding
Teeth that overlap or are too close together — the most common alignment concern. Invisalign resolves mild to moderate crowding effectively.
Supported Insurance
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
A straighter smile could be closer than you think.
Every smile is unique, so treatment time varies from person to person. However, many patients begin noticing improvements within just a few weeks, and some achieve their desired results in as little as 6 months. Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for your smile goals.
Who can use Invisalign?
Kids
Designed for every stage of your child’s smile journey, Invisalign® treatment options are available for kids ages 6+.
Adults
Discreet. Comfortable. Effective. Invisalign® clear aligners help adults achieve a healthier, straighter smile without the appearance and inconvenience of traditional braces.
Teens
Invisalign for Adults
“More than half of all Invisalign patients are adults. If you’ve always wanted a straighter smile but weren’t willing to wear metal braces as an adult — Invisalign was designed for you. The clear, removable aligners mean no one at work, on a date, or at an event will know you’re in treatment.”
Working professionals
Treat in meetings, presentations, and client interactions with complete confidence. Remove for photos or special occasions if needed.
Post-braces relapse
Teeth shifted after wearing braces as a teenager? Invisalign retreatment is one of the fastest, most satisfying cases we treat — many resolve in 6–12 months.
Cosmetic preparation
Straightening teeth before veneers, bonding, or whitening produces a more natural, longer-lasting cosmetic result. Invisalign first is often part of a broader smile plan.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Making an honest, transparent comparison helps build complete confidence in choosing the ideal treatment blueprint for your personal lifestyle.
Invisalign
- Virtually invisible — clear plastic aligners
- Removable — eat anything, brush and floss normally
- No metal brackets or wires to irritate oral tissue
- Fewer office visits — typically every 6–8 weeks
- 3D digital treatment preview before you start
- Often comparable treatment time to traditional braces
Traditional Braces
- Visible metal brackets and wires
- Fixed — food restrictions, more complex oral hygiene routines
- Potential for bracket irritation and inside soreness
- More frequent, mandatory physical adjustment appointments
- Often lower cost — appropriate balance for some cases
- Often comparable treatment time to traditional braces
How Invisalign Works
Four simple milestones to achieving the beautiful structural alignment you have always wanted.
Step 1
Consultation & scan
We assess your bite, teeth, and orthodontic goals. A digital iTero scan (or impressions) captures precise 3D data — no messy putty.
Step 2
ClinCheck preview
Invisalign’s ClinCheck software shows a 3D simulation of your tooth movement — start to finish — before you commit. You see your projected result upfront.
Step 3
Aligners delivered
Custom aligner series fabricated and delivered. Wear each set for 1–2 weeks, 20–22 hours per day. Progress appointments occur every 6–8 weeks.
Step 4
Retainers
At treatment completion, retainers are provided to hold your result. Teeth naturally want to shift back — retainers protect the investment you’ve made in your smile.

Everything You Need to Know
In many cases, Invisalign® treatment costs about the same as traditional braces. The exact cost of your treatment will depend on the complexity of your case and the number of aligners needed to achieve your ideal smile.
To make treatment more accessible, we offer a variety of flexible payment options. You may be able to use dental insurance benefits, tax-advantaged healthcare funds (such as FSA or HSA accounts), or convenient monthly payment plans to spread the cost over time.
During your consultation, we'll provide a personalized treatment plan and walk you through all available financing options so you can confidently invest in your smile.
Mild cases: 6–12 months. Moderate cases: 12–18 months. More complex cases: 18–24+ months. The ClinCheck simulation gives a projected timeline at your consultation before you begin.
Virtually invisible — clear plastic most people don't notice in normal interaction. Small tooth-colored attachments may be placed on some teeth to help with specific movements — these are tooth-colored and not obvious at conversational distance.
Some mild pressure for 1–2 days after switching to a new aligner set is normal — it means the teeth are moving. Significantly less disruptive than traditional braces adjustments. Most patients describe it as mild and manageable.
Invisalign® clear aligners are crafted from advanced SmartTrack® material, designed to provide precise, predictable tooth movement throughout your treatment. Unlike many other clear aligners, each Invisalign aligner is custom-trimmed to follow your unique gum line, offering a more comfortable fit, a natural appearance, and a seamless smile transformation experience.
