Invisalign is the modern, nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without the hassle and appearance of traditional metal braces. Using a series of clear, custom-made aligners, this advanced orthodontic solution gradually shifts your teeth into the correct position. At Dr 7 Family Dentistry, we use 3D digital planning to provide effective, comfortable, and discreet treatment, fitting perfectly into your professional and social lifestyle.
Invisalign is a proprietary system that uses removable, clear thermoplastic aligners to move teeth incrementally. Instead of wires and brackets, the treatment involves:
The clear plastic aligners are virtually unnoticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention, making them ideal for adults and professionals.
Aligners can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means no food restrictions and maintaining excellent oral hygiene is simple.
Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic, eliminating the painful cuts and abrasions often caused by metal wires and brackets.
The 3D planning software allows for highly accurate treatment planning, leading to predictable results and often shorter treatment times than traditional braces.
We guide you through every stage of your Invisalign transformation:
We assess your alignment issues and take a quick, comfortable 3D scan of your teeth (no messy impressions needed). We review the digital treatment simulation, showing you the expected movements and final results.
Once the custom aligners arrive, you receive your initial sets and instructions on wear time (20–22 hours per day) and hygiene. We ensure the first aligner fits perfectly.
You visit Dr 7 Family Dentistry every 6 to 8 weeks for a quick check-up. We monitor your progress and provide you with your next series of aligners.
Once all aligners are used and your teeth are in their final position, treatment is complete. We provide custom retainers (Vivera® or traditional) to ensure your beautiful, new alignment is permanently maintained.
Invisalign is an excellent solution for the majority of orthodontic issues and is suitable for:
Individuals seeking a discreet method for straightening their smile.
Cases where teeth are overlapping due to insufficient space in the jaw.
Teeth with gaps (diastemas) that need to be closed.
Patients whose teeth have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment.
The cost of Invisalign is generally comparable to that of traditional braces and varies based on the complexity and duration of your unique case. Orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, is often covered by dental insurance. Many plans offer a lifetime orthodontic benefit, which may cover a portion of the total cost. Dr 7 Family Dentistry will work with your insurance provider to determine your exact lifetime benefit and provide a transparent financial plan, including any available financing options, to make this investment in your smile manageable.

Treatment time varies, but the average time for adults is 12 to 18 months. Simple cases can take as little as 6 months, while complex cases may take longer.
Yes. Once treatment is complete, teeth can naturally shift back toward their original position. Wearing a retainer (usually at night only) is essential to maintain your beautiful new alignment permanently.
No. Only plain water should be consumed while the aligners are in. Drinking coffee, tea, or soda while wearing them can stain the aligners and trap sugars against your teeth, increasing the risk of cavities.
Invisalign is generally considered more comfortable. You will feel pressure or soreness for a day or two every time you switch to a new set of aligners, but this is a sign that the treatment is working.
