Invisalign is a clear teeth straightening appliance that will bring the beautiful smile of your dreams to your face. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, the Invisalign method creates a complete plan for straightening teeth, taking into account the shift from the initial to the desired position based on the Invisalign doctor’s recommendations. A set of aligners specifically tailored to a particular patient’s teeth is then prepared to gradually move the teeth. Each aligner from the set is worn for about two weeks and replaced with new aligners until the desired tooth alignment is achieved. The Invisalign treatment plan is prepared by the Doctor based on the patient’s individual needs.

Invisalign aligners are nearly transparent. No one will even notice the clear, smooth Invisalign braces on your teeth, so you can wear them in any situation every day. The aligners are removable, so there are no restrictions on the foods you can eat and drink. They can also be removed for brushing and flossing to maintain good oral hygiene. Unlike classic fixed braces, aligners have no brackets or wires. This means that less time is spent visiting the Invisalign treatment doctor Invisalign also gives you the opportunity to know the final result and the entire treatment plan even before the treatment begins.

Aligners are essentially invisible and are made of a special transparent material developed specifically for the Invisalign system. Aligners are tailored to the individual patient so that they fit perfectly over the teeth.

An experienced Invisalign Doctor can use this method to treat malocclusion in most adults and teens who dream of a more beautiful smile. Consult with an Invisalign Doctor to make sure the Invisalign Teen method will be right for your child.

To clean your Invisalign aligners, it's very important to do so regularly to prevent bacteria buildup. You can clean them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap. Alternatively, Invisalign provides special cleaning crystals to maintain optimal hygiene.

To maintain good oral health, most dentists recommend getting your teeth cleaned every six months, or twice a year. However, if you have a condition like periodontal disease, you might need more frequent visits, typically every three months.

To help prevent gum disease and other oral health issues, it's important to schedule regular dental cleanings and checkups. In addition to these routine visits, you should contact your dentist if you experience any signs or symptoms that could indicate a problem. These signs include red, tender, or swollen gums; bleeding gums when you brush or floss; gums that are pulling away from your teeth; loose permanent teeth; a change in how your top and bottom teeth fit together; unusual sensitivity to hot or cold; or persistent bad breath or a strange taste in your mouth.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made typically of titanium that is surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. It serves as a stable foundation for fixed or removable dental prosthetics and helps restore the function and appearance of natural teeth. Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth, improve chewing, speech, and maintain jawbone health by preventing bone loss.

After a tooth extraction, you can generally get a dental implant either immediately on the same day as the extraction or after waiting 3 to 6 months to allow your mouth to recover and heal.

Veneers are considered a long-lasting cosmetic solution but not truly permanent. They usually last 10–15 years, after which they may need replacement. The natural tooth underneath is often slightly reshaped to fit the veneer, so once placed, veneers generally cannot be undone. Getting veneers is usually not painful. Some mild sensitivity or discomfort may occur during and after the procedure, especially if tooth enamel is removed, but it’s typically minimal and temporary. Local anesthesia is often used during preparation to ensure comfort.
