Invisalign
What Invisalign Is
Clear aligner therapy used to correct tooth alignment over time
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to move teeth in planned stages. Treatment is based on digital scans and a staged movement plan that applies controlled forces to specific teeth over time.
The aligners are removable, which allows patients to eat normally and maintain routine oral hygiene. Treatment suitability depends on alignment needs, bite relationships, and consistent wear as prescribed.
From Digital Planning to Aligner Wear
Treatment begins with digital records that map tooth position and movement sequencing. Each aligner is worn for a defined period before progressing to the next stage, with periodic reviews to confirm movement is tracking as planned.
Attachments, refinements, or additional aligners may be required depending on response to treatment. Retention planning is discussed toward the end of active treatment to help maintain alignment once tooth movement is complete.

Invisalign FAQs
How do I know if Invisalign is right for me?
Invisalign may be appropriate for crowding, spacing, or certain bite concerns. An evaluation is required to confirm whether clear aligners are suitable for your case.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the amount of movement required and how consistently aligners are worn. This is discussed during planning.
How often do aligners need to be worn?
Aligners are typically worn most of the day and removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. Specific wear instructions are provided during treatment.
Can Invisalign be used before cosmetic dentistry?
Yes. Invisalign is often used before veneers or bonding to improve spacing and alignment, allowing cosmetic treatments to be more conservative.
Are retainers needed after Invisalign?
Yes. Retainers help maintain alignment once treatment is complete and are an important part of long-term results.
