Our board-certified orthodontists focus exclusively on helping patients improve their tooth alignment and bite—from your first consultation through your final retainer.

Is Invisalign for You?
Want Straighter Teeth Without Metal Braces?
Maybe you've been thinking about orthodontic treatment but don't love the idea of wearing traditional braces.
You may want to straighten your teeth while keeping your treatment less noticeable.
You may want the flexibility to remove your aligners when you eat, brush, or have an important event.
Or maybe you've simply been waiting for a treatment option that fits better into your lifestyle.
That's where Invisalign may come in. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-made for your treatment plan. Instead of brackets and wires, you'll wear a sequence of aligners that gradually guide your teeth toward their planned positions.
Invisalign may be a good option if you want:
- A more discreet orthodontic treatment
- Removable aligners
- The ability to eat without traditional braces
- An alternative to brackets and wires
- A treatment plan designed around your individual smile
The best way to know whether Invisalign is appropriate for you is through an orthodontic evaluation.
The Basics
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth.
Instead of attaching brackets to your teeth, your orthodontist creates a treatment plan that determines the sequence of tooth movements. You'll then progress through a series of aligners according to your treatment plan.
Each aligner is designed to move your teeth gradually.
As you progress through treatment, your orthodontist monitors your smile and makes sure your treatment is progressing as planned.
The result? A more discreet way to receive orthodontic treatment without traditional metal brackets and wires.
How Does Invisalign Work?
A Series of Small Changes Can Create a Big Difference.
Your Invisalign treatment begins with an orthodontic evaluation. Your orthodontist examines your teeth and bite and determines whether clear aligners are an appropriate treatment option.
If Invisalign is right for you, your treatment is planned around the movements your teeth need to make. Your Invisalign journey typically looks like this:
-
01
Consultation
We'll evaluate your teeth, bite, and orthodontic needs and discuss your goals.
-
02
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your orthodontist develops a treatment plan based on your individual smile.
-
03
Your Custom Aligners
You'll receive a series of clear aligners designed for your treatment plan.
-
04
Wear Your Aligners
You'll wear your aligners according to your orthodontist's instructions and change to the next aligner in your series as directed.
-
05
Progress Checks
You'll have scheduled appointments so your orthodontist can monitor your progress and make adjustments when needed.
-
06
Your New Smile
Once active treatment is complete, you'll move into the retention phase to help maintain your results.
What Invisalign Treats
What Can Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign can be used to address a variety of orthodontic concerns for appropriate candidates.
Gaps Between Teeth
Clear aligners may be used to bring certain spaced teeth closer together.
Overbite
In appropriate cases, Invisalign can be part of a treatment plan designed to address an overbite.
Underbite
Some patients with an underbite may be candidates for clear aligner treatment.
Crossbite
Invisalign may be used to address certain crossbite concerns depending on the patient's individual orthodontic needs.
Crooked or Misaligned Teeth
Clear aligners can gradually move certain rotated, tilted, or misaligned teeth.
Not every orthodontic case is suitable for Invisalign.
That's why your treatment should begin with an evaluation from an orthodontist.
Clear Aligners That Fit Into Your Life
Invisalign for Teens & Adults
Invisalign isn't limited to one age group.
Invisalign for Teens
Teenagers may choose Invisalign because the clear aligners are less noticeable than traditional metal braces.

What Is Invisalign Treatment Like?
Here's What You Need to Know Before You Start.
You'll Need to Wear Your Aligners Consistently
Invisalign is removable, but that doesn't mean you should only wear it when it's convenient. Following your orthodontist's instructions is an important part of treatment.
You Remove Them to Eat
Unlike traditional braces, your aligners can be removed when you eat. That means you don't have to change your diet in the same way you would with fixed braces.
You'll Need to Keep Them Clean
Your aligners should be cared for according to the instructions provided by your orthodontic team.
You May Feel Pressure
As your teeth move, you may experience pressure or temporary discomfort when starting a new set of aligners.
You'll Have Progress Appointments
Your orthodontist will monitor your treatment throughout the process and make sure your teeth are moving as planned.
