Invisalign® is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that offers a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces.
It is an effective and discreet alternative to traditional braces, using custom-fit clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are completely removable when eating or drinking, and brushing.
If you dream of straightening your smile without the wires and brackets of braces, Invisalign offers a comfortable, barely visible solution. The smooth plastic aligners are tailored to your teeth and changed out every 1-2 weeks during treatment.

Invisalign is suitable for both adults and responsible teenagers who can comply with the treatment plan.
Individuals who prefer a more discreet orthodontic solution often opt for Invisalign due to its nearly invisible aligners.
Successful Invisalign treatment requires wearing the aligners for the recommended duration each day and following the orthodontist's instructions diligently.
Candidates should have a good oral health with no significant untreated dental issues.
Invisalign offers some distinct advantages over conventional braces:
Removability: Invisalign aligners can be easily removed for activities such as eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, providing a level of convenience that fixed braces lack.
Discreetness: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, ensuring that they go largely unnoticed by others, while metal braces are highly conspicuous.
Comfort: Invisalign trays, constructed from smooth plastic, offer a more comfortable orthodontic experience, in contrast to braces, which can sometimes cause mouth irritation.
Effectiveness: Invisalign is an effective solution for a wide range of cases, spanning from simple to complex cases, with success rates that are on par with traditional braces.
Oral Hygiene: Invisalign facilitates better oral hygiene maintenance, making brushing and flossing much more straightforward, a challenge often associated with braces.
Dietary Freedom: Invisalign wearers are not subjected to dietary restrictions, unlike those with braces who must avoid sticky, hard, and chewy foods.
Appointments: Invisalign requires fewer adjustments, reducing the need for frequent wire tightening appointments typically required by traditional braces.
Treatment Duration: Invisalign treatment periods are typically shorter than those of traditional braces, resulting in a faster path to your desired smile.

Here, we provide answers to some of the frequently asked questions about Invisalign:
Invisalign is designed to be safe and non-damaging to your teeth. Invisalign aligners are custom-fitted to your teeth and made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, which minimizes the risk of damage or irritation. It’s essential to follow your orthodontist’s instructions for wearing and caring for your aligners to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
Dental insurance coverage for Invisalign varies depending on your insurance plan. Some plans may offer partial coverage, while others may not cover orthodontic treatments at all. We can check with your insurance provider and provide you with no obligation free consult and explore financing options that may help cover the cost.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic issues. On average, treatment can last from 6 to 18 months. Dr. Ali will provide a more accurate estimate during your consultation.
Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to maintain better oral hygiene compared to traditional braces. However, it’s crucial to maintain regular dental check-ups and diligent oral care during treatment. If aligners are not kept clean or if you consume sugary or acidic foods frequently, it can increase the risk of cavities. Proper care and hygiene practices will help prevent cavities.
In general, Invisalign tends to be less painful or uncomfortable than traditional braces. While you may experience some initial discomfort or pressure when transitioning to a new set of aligners, this is typically milder than the discomfort associated with braces and wire adjustments. Many patients find Invisalign to be a more comfortable orthodontic option
The value of Invisalign depends on individual preferences and orthodontic needs. Invisalign offers numerous benefits, including its nearly invisible appearance, removability, and comfortable fit. Many patients find it to be a worthwhile investment in their smile and confidence. The “worth” of Invisalign varies from person to person, and an Invisalign consultation with Dr. Ali can help you determine if it aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
No, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink without restrictions. However, it’s essential to remove them before consuming anything other than water to prevent staining or damage.
Yes, you can play musical instruments and sports with Invisalign. The aligners are removable, so they won’t interfere with activities. However, it’s advisable to wear a protective mouthguard when participating in contact sports.
If you lose or break an aligner, contact your Invisalign dentist immediately. They will advise you on whether to move to the next set of aligners or if a replacement aligner is needed.
Invisalign is generally recommended for teenagers and adults. Children may not be eligible for Invisalign due to their ongoing growth and development. Consult with an orthodontic specialist to determine the best treatment for children.
