Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, meaning you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods without restriction. They’re also nearly invisible, so you can feel confident in photos, work meetings, and social settings.

For parents of teens considering Invisalign, we offer aligners with blue compliance indicators that show whether they’re being worn properly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

Is Invisalign painful?
Most patients describe Invisalign as comfortable. You may feel slight pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, but it’s temporary and usually goes away within a day or two.

How long does Invisalign take?
Treatment length varies but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on your unique needs.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?
You should remove your aligners while eating or drinking anything besides water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners.
