Invisalign clear aligners can help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile without traditional metal braces. A series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays gradually moves teeth to improve crowding, gaps and certain bite concerns.
How Invisalign Clear Aligners Work
Advanced digital imaging maps your customized treatment plan. After a consultation with Dr. Olagoke Masha or Dr. Jennifer Ogbuehi, aligners are created to fit your teeth precisely. Each set is usually worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next, for approximately 20 to 22 hours each day.
The smooth, removable trays have no brackets or wires. You can remove them for meals, brushing and flossing, while periodic checkups allow our dentists to monitor your progress.

Is Invisalign Treatment Right for You?
Clear aligners work best when worn consistently and may not be appropriate for every orthodontic concern. Our dentists will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine whether Invisalign can achieve your goals.

Invisalign Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Many treatments last about 12 to 18 months. Minor corrections may take less time, while complex cases can take longer.
Can I eat while wearing my aligners?
Remove aligners for anything other than water. Brush your teeth before replacing them to reduce staining and decay risk.
Are Invisalign aligners comfortable?
The smooth trays avoid metal irritation. Mild pressure is normal for a few days after switching to a new set.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse with lukewarm water and clean gently with a soft toothbrush or approved cleaning product. Hot water can distort the plastic.
What happens after treatment?
You will wear a retainer as directed to help keep your teeth in their new positions.
