Invisalign FAQs
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gently moves your teeth into the desired position without metal braces.
You wear a series of custom-made clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth, changing to a new set every few days.
Most teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues and good oral health are great candidates.
Treatment varies but typically lasts between 6 to 18 months depending on your specific needs.
You may feel slight pressure when switching aligners, but most patients find it more comfortable than traditional braces.
