Cosmetic Dentistry
Invisalign
Beautiful, straight teeth — without the wires. Clear, removable aligners that fit your life.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom aligners to gently move your teeth into place. It might be a great fit if you:
✓ Have crooked or crowded teeth
✓ Have gaps you’d like to close
✓ Have a bite that’s off — an overbite, underbite, or misalignment
✓ Want to straighten discreetly, without metal braces
Straightening your teeth isn’t only cosmetic — better alignment can help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, broken teeth, and bite-related headaches.

How Invisalign Works
- Consultation & digital scan — a quick, goop-free iTero scan and an instant preview of your result.
- Your custom plan — a series of aligners mapped precisely to your teeth.
- Wear & switch — wear each set about 22 hours a day, switching to the next every 1–2 weeks.
- Reveal your smile — then a retainer keeps your new smile in place.
Aligners come out only for eating and brushing — that’s part of what makes Invisalign so easy to live with.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Both straighten teeth — here’s an honest look so you can choose with your dentist.
Invisalign
Best for: most everyday alignment needs. Clear and removable — eat and brush normally, often in less time than braces.
Traditional Braces
Best for: certain complex cases. Fixed metal brackets that stay on throughout treatment.
Technology
- iTero scanner — a comfortable digital scan with an instant before/after simulation.
- Digital treatment planning — every aligner mapped to your individual plan for precise, predictable movement.
Paying for Invisalign
Your cost depends on how much tooth movement you need. We’ll give you an estimate at your first visit and an exact price after your scan — and we have financing to make it manageable.
Before treatment begins, you’ll review and complete our Informed Consent for Invisalign Treatment.
Common Questions
Is treatment with Invisalign painful?
You may feel mild pressure or soreness as you switch to each new aligner, but it fades quickly. Most people describe it as pressure, not pain.
How long does Invisalign take?
It depends on your smile. Most patients finish in 6–12 months; minor cases can be under 6 months, and more involved cases 9 months or more.
How much does Invisalign cost?
It depends on the number of aligners needed. We’ll review an estimate at your first visit and give an exact cost after we scan your teeth. Financing is available.
Can I eat and drink normally?
Yes — you take your aligners out to eat and to brush, then pop them back in.
How many hours a day do I wear them?
About 22 hours a day. The more consistently you wear them, the better and faster your results.
