What is Invisalign®
Advanced Clear Aligners for a Perfect Smile
Invisalign® is a modern approach to straightening teeth using custom-made aligners. These smooth, clear plastic trays are virtually invisible and comfortable to wear. The aligners gradually shift your teeth into place, giving you a beautiful smile without the hassle of traditional braces.

Is Invisalign® better than braces?
Invisalign® and braces both straighten teeth effectively. Many prefer Invisalign® for its comfort and aesthetics, but braces may be better for children due to their permanent nature and reduced upkeep.
What restrictions will I have with Invisalign®?
Invisalign® aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink what you like. However, wearing them 22 hours a day is crucial for effective treatment. Avoid foods that stain trays like curry and mustard.
Can I drink alcohol with Invisalign®?
Yes, you can drink alcohol while wearing Invisalign® aligners. Be sure to clean your teeth and aligners after consuming sugary or acidic beverages to maintain oral hygiene.
How do I clean my aligners?
Clean your aligners by brushing them with toothpaste and rinsing them in lukewarm water. Regular cleaning ensures the aligners remain clear and hygienic.
