Invisalign Clear Aligners

What Is Invisalign Clear Aligners?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear plastic aligners to gradually move teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. Treatment is planned entirely using 3D digital scanning and software that maps your tooth movements from start to finish. Invisalign is most effective for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and certain bite issues.

How It Works

A digital scan is taken and sent to Invisalign's lab, where a custom aligner series is fabricated. You wear each tray 20–22 hours per day, removing only to eat and brush. Progress check-ins with your orthodontist or dentist happen every 6–10 weeks. Treatment typically takes 6–18 months.
