What is Invisalign?
Invisalign offers a modern alternative to traditional metal braces, using a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently move your teeth into the desired position. Nearly invisible, these aligners are a popular choice for patients who want a discreet orthodontic treatment.
How Does Invisalign Work?
1. Initial Consultation
Our team will assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is right for you.
2. Custom Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D imaging, we create a series of aligners that are custom-fitted to your teeth and designed to shift them gradually.
3. Wearing Aligners
Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, moving your teeth step-by-step. The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, and brush as usual.
4. Progress Checks
You’ll visit our center periodically to monitor progress and receive your next set of aligners.

Invisalign Treatment - Common Q&A
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of each case. On average, Invisalign treatment takes about 12-18 months, but some patients may see results in as little as 6 months.
No, it’s best to remove aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and keeps them in good condition.
For best results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day. Only remove them for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, though you may feel some pressure or mild discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners. This is normal and indicates that the aligners are working.
Patients typically visit every 4-6 weeks for progress checks and to receive new aligners. These visits ensure that your treatment is on track.
Invisalign is effective for treating a wide range of cases, including mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues. However, complex cases may require alternative orthodontic treatments.
Unlike braces, Invisalign doesn’t come with food restrictions. You can eat whatever you like as long as you remove your aligners first and brush before reinserting them.
Clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and clear soap. Avoid using toothpaste, as it may scratch the aligners, and always rinse them with lukewarm (not hot) water to prevent warping.
