Get Straighter Teeth Faster with Invisalign
Virtually Invisible
The clear aligners are made from transparent, BPA-free plastic, making them discreet and difficult to notice.
Comfortable Fit
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-molded to fit your teeth, reducing irritation to the gums and cheeks.
Faster Results
The average treatment time is 12 to 18 months, with noticeable improvements in just a few weeks.

Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign is a great option for both teens and adults looking for a subtle way to straighten their teeth. You might be a good candidate if:
- You have mild to moderate crowding, gaps, or misalignment.
- You want a nearly invisible alternative to braces.
- You’re committed to wearing aligners 20-22 hours a day for the best results.
- You want a flexible treatment that fits your lifestyle.
What Invisalign Can Fix
Invisalign isn’t just about looks—it helps correct real dental issues that can impact your oral health, including:
- Crowded Teeth – Creates space, so teeth don’t overlap, making brushing and flossing easier.
- Gaps Between Teeth – Closes spaces for a more even, balanced smile.
- Overbite & Underbite – Helps align your bite for better function and less jaw strain.
- Crossbite – Corrects misalignment to prevent uneven wear and potential damage.
- Open Bite – Ensures upper and lower teeth meet properly for better chewing and speech.
How Invisalign Works
Digital Smile Scan
Forget messy molds—our iTero digital scanner creates a 3D model of your teeth in minutes. This lets us plan your Invisalign treatment with precision and show you a preview of your future smile.
Custom Treatment Plan
We map out the exact movement of your teeth and create a series of clear aligners, each designed to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position.
Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day, switching to a new set every 1-2 weeks. Regular check-ins help us track your progress and make adjustments if needed.
Completing Your Treatment
Once your teeth are in their new position, we’ll provide a custom retainer to keep them from shifting back. This helps maintain your straight smile for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign varies based on the complexity of the case. Our office accepts most major insurance plans, which may cover part of the treatment. We also offer flexible financing options to make Invisalign affordable.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most patients complete their Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months, though minor corrections may take less time. The duration depends on the severity of misalignment and how consistently the aligners are worn.
Is Invisalign painful?
Patients may experience mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new aligner tray, but it is typically far less painful than traditional braces. The discomfort usually subsides within a few days as the teeth adjust.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?
Yes, but you must remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage. Aligners should be cleaned before placing them back in your mouth.
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
For the best results, aligners should be worn at least 20-22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
There may be a short adjustment period, but most patients quickly adapt to speaking with their aligners. Any minor speech changes usually resolve within a few days.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
Aligners should be rinsed and gently brushed with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Hot water should be avoided, as it can warp the plastic. Specialized Invisalign cleaning solutions are also available.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
If an aligner is lost, contact our office immediately. We may recommend a replacement or advise you to move to the next set in your treatment plan.
Can I switch to Invisalign if I’ve had braces before?
Yes, Invisalign is a great option for patients who previously had braces but need additional alignment corrections due to shifting over time.
How do I get started with Invisalign?
The first step is to schedule a consultation at City Dental Arts. We’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and create a personalized Invisalign treatment plan to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
