Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
Custom clear aligners that straighten your smile discreetly and comfortably, with no brackets or wires.
Clear aligner therapy uses a series of custom-fabricated, removable trays worn over the teeth to gradually shift them into proper alignment.
Your dentist takes a digital scan of your teeth and creates a 3D treatment simulation showing your projected result. Custom aligner trays are fabricated and worn in sequence, with progress check-ins every six to eight weeks.
Clear aligners straighten teeth without the visibility or discomfort of traditional braces. They are removable for eating and cleaning, making them well-suited for professionals and adults who want a discreet solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about clear aligners (invisalign).
Clear aligners are a series of custom, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into better alignment. Each set is worn for one to two weeks before you switch to the next in the sequence. They are nearly invisible and can be taken out to eat and clean your teeth. As an Invisalign provider, Concierge Dental Design plans your movement digitally from the start.
Aligners work well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and many bite issues, and they are especially popular with adults and professionals. They are a discreet alternative to traditional braces. More complex cases may still be treatable, which we confirm with a scan. A consultation determines whether aligners can reach your goals.
Most cases take about twelve to eighteen months, though simpler ones can finish sooner. The timeline depends on how much movement is needed and how consistently you wear the trays. You will visit periodically so we can check your progress. We give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your digital plan.
Aligners should be worn twenty to twenty-two hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. Consistent wear is the single biggest factor in staying on schedule. Slacking on wear time can slow your results. We will coach you on building the habit so treatment stays on track.
Most people find aligners comfortable, with only mild pressure for a day or two when starting a new set as the teeth begin to move. There are no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks. The smooth trays are easy to get used to. Any discomfort is usually brief and a sign that the aligners are working.
