Invisalign & Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. The aligners are virtually invisible and removable, making them a popular choice for teens and adults.

We also offer in-house aligners - clear aligners made right in our office at a more affordable price point without sacrificing quality.

Care Instructions

Caring for Your Aligners

Follow these guidelines for the best results with your clear aligners

ðŸ‘ Wearing Your Aligners

Wear 20-22 hours per day - Only remove for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing
Change aligners on schedule - Typically every 1-2 weeks as directed
Use your chewies - Bite down on chewies to seat aligners properly
Keep your case handy - Always store aligners in your case when not wearing

ðŸª¥ Cleaning Your Aligners

Rinse every time you remove them - Prevents bacteria buildup
Brush gently with a soft toothbrush - Use clear, unscented soap (not toothpaste)
Soak regularly - Use retainer cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals
Never use hot water - Heat can warp the plastic
Brush your teeth before reinserting - Prevents trapping bacteria

ðŸŽ Eating & Drinking

Remove aligners before eating - Food can damage or stain them
Only drink water with aligners in - Coffee, tea, wine, and soda can stain
Brush before reinserting - Or at least rinse if brushing isn't possible
Don't chew gum with aligners in - It will stick to the plastic

âš ï¸ Important Tips

Keep previous aligners - In case you lose your current set
Don't skip aligners - Each set is important for proper movement
Contact us if aligners don't fit - Poor fit can delay treatment
Attend all appointments - We need to monitor your progress
