Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a sequence of custom-made clear aligners to move teeth gradually toward planned positions.
Each aligner applies controlled pressure to selected teeth. As treatment progresses, you change to the next aligner in the series according to the schedule we provide.
Because the trays are removable, Invisalign differs from fixed braces in several everyday ways:
| Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|
| Clear aligners fit over the teeth | Brackets and wires remain attached to the teeth |
| Removed for meals | Stay in place while eating |
| Brush and floss without brackets in the way | Cleaning requires working around orthodontic hardware |
| No brackets or wires visible on the smile | Metal or ceramic brackets are visible |
| Success depends heavily on consistent wear | Treatment continues because the appliance is fixed |
Both can be effective orthodontic tools. The better choice depends on your bite, tooth movements, age, lifestyle, and willingness to follow treatment instructions.
Invisalign treatment begins with understanding where your teeth are now and where they need to move.
We use an iTero digital scanner to capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth without traditional putty impressions. Your orthodontist then uses those records, along with your examination and other diagnostic information when needed, to develop your treatment plan.
Your aligners are created for the planned sequence of movements. You wear each set as instructed before progressing to the next.
