Invisalign Aligner
What Are Invisalign Aligners?
Invisalign Aligners are a modern, clear, and removable alternative to traditional metal braces. They work by gently and gradually straightening your teeth using a series of custom-made transparent trays that fit comfortably over your teeth.
Each set of aligners applies controlled pressure to shift your teeth into their ideal position. As your treatment progresses, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks, ensuring steady and precise movement for a beautifully aligned smile.
Common Dental Issues Invisalign Can Correct
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Minor bite irregularities or crowding
