Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, are an alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. They are custom-made to fit your teeth and are designed to gradually move them into better alignment. Because they are nearly invisible and removable, many patients find aligners to be a convenient option.
Benefits of Invisalign
Less noticeable
Aligners are clear, so they are harder to see compared to braces.
Removable
You can take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Customized fit
Each set of aligners is made to fit your teeth at each stage of treatment.
Regular monitoring
Patients typically visit their orthodontist every 6–8 weeks to track progress.
Not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign. Suitability depends on the type of bite or alignment issues, age, and commitment to following instructions. Patients must:
Wear aligners as directed, usually 20–22 hours per day.
Switch to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks as advised.
Clean aligners daily to keep them clear and hygienic.
