Invisalign® clear aligners offer an advanced and convenient orthodontic option for individuals who prefer a discreet approach to straightening their smile. Unlike traditional metal braces that rely on brackets and wires, Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-designed, transparent aligners to gradually guide teeth into their ideal positions. This modern orthodontic system has gained popularity for its subtle appearance and flexibility, making it a preferred choice for many adults and teenagers.
Invisalign Clear Aligners: The Discreet Choice
The Invisalign treatment process begins with a personalized assessment to determine if clear aligners are the right solution for you. Our experienced dentist will conduct a thorough examination and take digital scans of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan. The aligners are crafted using precise computer technology to ensure a tailored fit, and each aligner is designed to apply gentle, strategic pressure that shifts teeth incrementally. As you progress through the series of aligners — typically switching to a new set every one to two weeks, as directed by our dentist — your teeth gradually move closer to their intended alignment. Dr. Sophie Nabavi will monitor your progress at scheduled intervals to ensure your treatment is progressing as expected.
Benefits of Invisalign Aligners
One of the major benefits of Invisalign clear aligners is their comfort and convenience. Made from smooth plastic, the aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces, which can cause irritation from metal components. Additionally, Invisalign aligners are removable, which allows you to take them out while eating, brushing and flossing. This means there are no dietary restrictions, so you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry. Simply remove your aligners for meals, and afterward, clean your teeth and aligners before reinserting them. This flexibility makes Invisalign aligners an excellent choice for those with busy lifestyles or anyone seeking a less intrusive orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign clear aligners are effective for treating a variety of common orthodontic concerns, including crowded or crooked teeth, gaps between teeth and certain bite issues such as overbites, underbites and crossbites. For patients with these conditions, Invisalign aligners offer an effective solution that does not compromise aesthetics or comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment typically lasts between 12 to 18 months, though it can vary depending on your specific orthodontic needs. Simple cases may take less time, while more complex ones may require additional months. Our dentist will provide an estimated timeline based on your unique treatment plan.
Are there any food restrictions with Invisalign aligners?
No, there are no food restrictions with Invisalign treatment because the aligners are removable. You can take them out while eating, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods. Just remember to brush and floss before reinserting the aligners to maintain good oral hygiene and keep your aligners clean.
How often do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners need to be worn for about 20 to 22 hours daily to achieve the best results. This schedule allows you to remove them for meals and oral care but ensures enough time wearing them to effectively move your teeth as planned.
Are Invisalign clear aligners comfortable to wear?
Invisalign aligners are designed with smooth, comfortable plastic that minimizes irritation, especially compared to traditional braces. While you may experience slight pressure with each new aligner, indicating that the teeth are shifting, most patients find Invisalign aligners easy to wear daily.
