Invisalign & clear aligners
Straighten your teeth discreetly with clear, removable aligners, most people won't even notice you're wearing them.
In plain language
What clear aligners are
Clear aligners are a series of near-invisible, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into place.
They're a discreet, comfortable alternative to braces for many cases, and you take them out to eat and brush.
Worth the visit
Why straighter teeth are about more than looks
Crowded or misaligned teeth are harder to clean and can wear unevenly, as well as affecting confidence. Straightening can improve both how your smile looks and how healthy it is to maintain.
Discreet and removable
Eat and brush normally; few will notice.
Comfortable
No metal brackets or wires.

Honest about what to expect
What to expect
Each new aligner brings mild pressure for a day or two, that's the teeth moving, and it settles. Results depend on wearing them as directed. A retainer afterwards keeps your teeth in place; we'll be clear about that commitment.
