Removable clear aligners that straighten teeth in a series of custom trays.
Request Consultation
Overview
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable plastic aligners made for your teeth. Each set is worn for a set period before moving to the next, and each one moves the teeth a small amount. Because the aligners are clear, they are difficult to notice when worn.
Who may benefit
Clear aligners can treat many cases of crowding, spacing, and some bite problems in teens and adults. They work best for patients who will wear them for the recommended hours each day. Not every case is suitable for aligners, and Dr. Burns will tell you whether they are a good fit for you.
The general process
- Consultation and examination with Dr. Burns
- Digital records of your teeth, if aligners are recommended
- A treatment plan showing how your teeth are expected to move
- A series of aligners, with regular check-in visits
- A retainer at the end of treatment
Benefits and practical considerations
Aligners are removed for eating and cleaning, so there are no food restrictions, but they must be worn most of the day to work. Some patients need small tooth-coloured attachments to help the aligners grip. Treatment length varies; Dr. Burns will give you an estimate for your case.
Frequently asked questions
Dr. Burns will give you specific instructions. Aligners generally need to be worn most of the day and night to work as planned.
Many teens can. Dr. Burns will check whether aligners suit your teen's teeth and bite.
Some people notice a slight change for the first few days while they adjust.
