Invisalign® –
a discreet way to
straighten teeth
Many people don’t realize that they can achieve a straighter smile without traditional braces.
What would take years to accomplish with traditional braces, can take 4-18 months with Invisalign®!
Invisalign® is a great option for teens and older adults who want to discreetly fix milder issues such as gapped teeth, crowded teeth, or an improper bite.
Instead of the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces, Invisalign® uses a series of clear plastic aligners to gently shift your teeth. We use 3D computer imaging technology to create aligners that are customized to your unique smile. The custom aligners are switched around every two weeks to gradually guide your teeth into the correct position.
Invisalign® aligners are clear, which means that you can still show off your smile while straightening your teeth. You can also remove your aligners for a couple of hours if you’re planning on attending a special event (although it’s recommended that you wear your aligners for at least 20 hours each day).
Maintaining your oral hygiene is also easier with Invisalign®. Since you can’t remove traditional braces while eating, food particles can more easily become stuck, and there’s a higher risk of discoloration and decay. With Invisalign®, you’re able to remove your aligners while you eat. Then, after a quick brush, you can put your aligners back on again over your clean teeth. That means there are virtually no food restrictions.
Best of all, Invisalign® aligners have smooth edges, so you don’t have to worry about the discomfort from brackets and wires.

Invisalign® for Teens
Invisalign® isn’t just for adults. We offer the same almost invisible teeth straightening technology to our teenage clients.
Invisalign® for teens works nearly the same way as the adult version. We’ll create clear, custom aligners that we’ll switch every one to two weeks to gradually shift your teeth. A blue indicator dot in the aligners will help you know whether you’re wearing your aligners for long enough. We suggest that you wear your Invisalign® aligners for 22 hours a day to achieve your goal. If you wear your aligners consistently, the blue dot will fade.
Invisalign® is a great choice especially for teenagers who play sports or musical instruments. Athletes who wear traditional braces have to use mouthguards to protect their braces. There’s also the risk of injury to themselves or others because of the sharp metal wires and brackets if they take a hit to the mouth. Since Invisalign® aligners are smooth, there’s less risk of injury when playing sports. Musicians can also remove their aligners temporarily to play their instruments, which means that wind instrument players don’t have to worry about braces affecting their performance.
Invisalign® can be an easier
transition for teenagers to make
than traditional braces.
