A modern alternative to braces.

If you have been putting off orthodontic treatment because of metal brackets or wires, Invisalign® may be a great fit. Aligners are discreet, easy to remove, and designed to fit into daily life, including meals, brushing, and special events. Invisalign® also works for many adults and teens, and treatment may be suitable for younger patients in some cases.

Signs your bite
may need attention.

Straightening teeth is not only about appearance. Bite issues and crowding can also affect comfort, cleaning, and long term oral health.

Chipped teeth

Chipped or worn teeth can be a sign of bite imbalance. Misaligned teeth often receive uneven pressure, which can increase wear and raise the risk of fractures over time.

Crowding

Crowded teeth are harder to clean well. This can increase plaque buildup and make it easier for tartar to accumulate.

Gum inflammation

When crowding makes hygiene difficult, gums can become irritated and inflamed. Early treatment and improved alignment may help reduce long term gum concerns.

Gum recession

A traumatic bite or poor tooth position can contribute to gum recession and root exposure, which may lead to sensitivity.

Abfraction

Notches near the gumline can be a sign of excess bite forces on certain teeth. A bite evaluation can help identify the cause.

Constricted arch

A narrow arch may reduce oral space and can be associated with mouth breathing and airway concerns in some patients. A full evaluation helps determine the right next steps.

Spacing

Gaps between teeth can trap food and plaque, and may affect how your bite comes together. Invisalign® can often help close spaces gradually and improve alignment for easier cleaning and a more balanced smile.

Deep bite

When the top front teeth overlap the lower teeth too much, it can contribute to wear, chipping, or sensitivity over time. A bite evaluation helps determine whether Invisalign® can improve bite balance in your specific case.

How Invisalign® treatment works.

Three simple steps, one clear plan

Step 1

Digital scan and smile preview.

We take a precise 3D scan of your teeth and review your smile goals. This helps us map your treatment and show you what is possible before you begin. Invisalign® also describes this as the first step in treatment.

Step 2

Start your aligners.

You will receive a series of custom aligners. We make sure they fit correctly, answer your questions, and guide you through wear instructions and aligner changes. This follows the treatment flow described in Invisalign® patient guidance.

Step 3

Protect your new smile.

We take a precise 3D scan of your teeth and review your smile goals. This helps us map your treatment and show you what is possible before you begin. Invisalign® also describes this as the first step in treatment.

Is Invisalign® really removable?

Yes. Invisalign® aligners are removable, which makes eating, brushing, and flossing easier than with fixed braces.

Will Invisalign® work for adults?

Yes. Invisalign® is used for adults and teens, and we will confirm whether it is a good fit for your bite and smile goals during your consultation.

How long will treatment take?

Treatment time varies by case. Some patients may begin seeing changes in as little as 6 months, but your exact timeline depends on complexity and is determined by your doctor.

Do I need impressions?

We use digital scanning technology, so you can avoid traditional goopy impressions.

Can Invisalign® help with bite issues?
