What is this treatment?
Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. Instead of wires and brackets glued to your teeth, you wear a series of clear, custom-made plastic trays (aligners) that gently and gradually shift your teeth into the perfect position. They are nearly invisible and can be taken out when you eat.
Why might you need it?
You might want Invisalign if you have crooked teeth, gaps between your teeth, an overbite, or an underbite, but you don't want the look or discomfort of traditional metal braces. It's perfect for adults and teens who want a discreet way to improve their smile.

š¤Is it painful?
Invisalign is generally much less painful than traditional braces. You may feel some mild pressure or soreness for the first day or two when you switch to a new tray, but this means it's working to move your teeth!
ā³Recovery Time
There is no recovery time. You can go about your normal daily activities immediately. It may take a day or two to get used to talking with the aligners in your mouth.
