Clear Braces
What are Clear Braces?
Invisalign is a form of braces that use clear tray aligners. They’re made of Invisalign’s own blend of plastic, and manufactured in their own facilities based on molds of your mouth. The aligners are a solid piece of plastic that is strong enough to put pressure on specific parts of your teeth to slowly move them into a better position.
To get Clear Braces, you will first need a consultation to determine if this is right for you. We'll look at your smile, your overall oral health, and take impressions of your mouth. Then, clear braces makes their aligners unique to your mouth for a custom fit. We will work on creating your overall treatment plan and serve as your partner in getting the results you want.

Clear braces uses a series of aligner trays that are replaced every one to two weeks. Each replacement tray will feel slightly different, as it’s designed to continue shifting and moving your teeth. You need to wear Invisalign trays for most of your day (20–22 hours/day) in order to see results. However, they’re easily removed for eating, brushing, flossing, or for special occasions.
Though it’s a solid piece of plastic, clear braces are braces, not retainers, because they actively move your teeth to shape your mouth and jaw. Retainers just hold your teeth in place.
