What Can Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign may be used to address a range of mild to moderate alignment and bite concerns. Your candidacy depends on your oral health, treatment goals, and the complexity of the tooth movement required.
Crowded Teeth
Clear aligners may create space and gradually move overlapping or crowded teeth into healthier alignment.
Gaps Between Teeth
Invisalign may help close unwanted spaces while improving the balance and appearance of your smile.
Bite Concerns
Certain overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites may be improved with a carefully planned clear aligner treatment.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign
Invisalign is popular because it combines orthodontic treatment with a discreet, flexible design. The aligners are created to fit closely over your teeth and are replaced in sequence as your smile gradually changes.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Both Invisalign and traditional braces can improve tooth alignment. The best option depends on the complexity of your case, your preferences, and how closely you can follow treatment instructions.

|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Clear and discreet | Visible brackets and wires |
| Removable | Yes | No |
| Eating | Remove aligners before meals | Food restrictions may apply |

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

How much does Invisalign cost?
Invisalign cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the expected treatment length, and the number of aligners required. Your consultation includes a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate.
Does Invisalign hurt?
You may feel temporary pressure or mild tenderness when beginning a new set of aligners. This usually reflects the gentle force being used to move your teeth.
Can adults get Invisalign?
Yes. Many adults choose Invisalign because the aligners are clear, removable, and easier to fit into professional and social routines than traditional braces.
Can teens get Invisalign?
Many teens may be candidates for clear aligners, depending on their dental development, treatment needs, and ability to wear the aligners consistently.
How many hours a day should I wear my aligners?
Patients are typically advised to wear aligners for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day and remove them only for meals, drinks other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Can Invisalign correct bite problems?
Invisalign may help improve certain overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. A clinical evaluation is needed to determine whether your bite concern can be treated with clear aligners.
How often will I visit the dentist during Invisalign treatment?
Follow-up visits are scheduled periodically to monitor your progress, confirm that the aligners are fitting correctly, and make any needed adjustments to the treatment plan.
Can I eat while wearing Invisalign?
Aligners should generally be removed before eating. You can then enjoy your usual foods, brush your teeth, and place the aligners back in your mouth.
How do I clean Invisalign aligners?
Rinse aligners with cool or lukewarm water and clean them using the method recommended by your dental team. Avoid very hot water, which may distort the plastic.
What happens after Invisalign treatment is finished?
Retainers are typically recommended after treatment to help maintain your new tooth positions and protect the results of your orthodontic care.
