The Best Way to Straighten Teeth
Orthodontic treatment options for straightening teeth include braces and clear aligners. Invisalign stands out as the most advanced clear aligner system globally. Professionals create custom trays using highly accurate 3D digital scans, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum comfort. Treatment can be completed in as little as six months, with noticeable changes in just a few weeks. The trays are easily removable and simple to clean, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods while maintaining excellent oral hygiene.
For a Beautiful Smile and a Healthy Lifestyle
Straight teeth not only enhance your appearance but also help prevent expensive dental and medical issues.

Should you notice any of these symptoms, arrange a consultation at our office for a thorough oral health assessment.
When is a Good Time to Start?
Whether you’ve been contemplating straightening your teeth for a while or recently received a recommendation from your dentist, postponing action only extends the period of dissatisfaction and heightens the risk of tooth damage or health complications due to shifting teeth.
Over time, your teeth will become more misaligned, making the process of straightening them more complex and lengthy. It’s more efficient, faster, and less costly to correct alignment issues before they become severe.
Rest assured, the cost of treatment is manageable. You don’t need to pay the full amount upfront. Our office provides various payment plans, making it easier for you to begin treatment without financial strain.

Creating Your Plan
We start with detailed digital scans of your teeth, allowing us to develop a customized treatment plan.

Ongoing Care
You’ll change to a new set of aligners every two weeks, each designed to gently move your teeth into the correct position. Regular office visits every 1-2 months will help us monitor your progress and ensure everything is proceeding smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
For those seeking a more subtle and comfortable option, Invisalign is often preferred over traditional braces. These nearly invisible, custom-fit trays can be removed for important events and are less likely to cause irritation inside your mouth compared to the brackets and wires of braces. If any discomfort arises, the trays can be easily adjusted. Invisalign’s method of shifting only a few teeth at a time with gentle pressure contributes to a more comfortable experience.
Invisalign adjusts your teeth gradually to minimize discomfort. Simple changes can occur within a few weeks, while more complex adjustments happen over a longer period, ensuring you remain comfortable. If you do experience significant pain, it’s important to inform us, as the process should be relatively painless.
Invisalign treatment typically takes between 6 to 12 months, depending on the extent of the corrections needed. Many patients begin to see noticeable changes within the first 6 weeks. The total treatment time will vary based on how much your teeth need to be adjusted—the greater the changes, the longer the treatment duration, no matter which orthodontic option you choose.
To keep your Invisalign trays clean, take them out twice a day to brush them and your teeth before putting them back in. If you remove your aligners, rinse them thoroughly before reinserting and avoid leaving them in the open air. You can soak the trays in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals, then rinse carefully before use. Avoid eating or drinking with the trays in and do not clean them with toothpaste. Detailed care instructions will be provided with your first set of trays.
Eating with your aligners is not recommended. The pressure from chewing can damage or crack the aligners, and it can be messy and inconvenient. Always take out your aligners before meals.
Yes, you should wear your Invisalign aligners while you sleep. They need to be worn continuously, except when eating or drinking, to effectively move your teeth over time. Consistent wear is essential for the success of your treatment.
