What Invisalign Can Fix
Crowding
When teeth overlap or twist due to limited space, it can make cleaning difficult and increase the risk of cavities and gum issues. Invisalign gently creates space and brings your teeth into better alignment, improving both appearance and oral health.
Spacing
Gaps between teeth can affect your confidence and make some people self-conscious about their smile. Invisalign helps close those spaces for a more balanced, seamless look.
Bite Issues
Whether you have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, Invisalign can improve how your teeth fit together. This not only enhances your smile but also helps with chewing, jaw comfort, and long-term wear on your teeth.
Crooked or Misaligned Teeth
Teeth that don’t line up properly can affect your confidence and your bite. Invisalign aligners work gradually to guide your teeth into place, so you can enjoy a straighter smile that looks great and functions better, too.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
If you want to improve your smile without wearing braces, Invisalign offers a flexible, nearly invisible option. It’s a great fit for adults who want subtle changes and for teens who prefer a less noticeable alternative to metal brackets.
You're likely a good candidate for Invisalign if:
- You’re looking for a discreet way to straighten your teeth
- You’re committed to wearing your aligners daily
- You want a treatment that fits your lifestyle, without food restrictions or extra appointments
Still unsure? That’s completely normal. We’re here to walk you through the details, show you a preview of your potential results, and answer every question along the way.

Dr. Nevid maps out every stage of your tooth movement, then creates aligners made specifically for your teeth, goals, and bite.
Wear Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day, switching them out every 1–2 weeks. They’re smooth, comfortable, and easy to live with—no food restrictions or sharp wires.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I wear my aligners?
To see the best results, wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. Only remove them for meals, drinks (other than water), and your oral hygiene routine.
What happens after Invisalign treatment?
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help keep your smile looking great. We’ll also schedule periodic maintenance checks to make sure your results last long-term.
How often are check-in appointments?
Most patients come in every 6 to 8 weeks for quick check-ins to make sure everything is progressing as planned. These visits are usually brief and help keep your treatment on track.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse your aligners daily with lukewarm water (never hot), and clean them with gentle soap or Invisalign-approved cleaning crystals. Avoid using toothpaste—it can be abrasive and cause scratching.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign works well for most teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite concerns. A consultation with Dr. Nevid will help determine if it’s the right choice for you.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight lisp when they first start wearing aligners, but it typically goes away within a few days as your mouth adjusts. Most people around you won’t even notice.
Can I eat with Invisalign aligners?
No, you’ll remove your aligners to eat or drink anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and damage. Just brush or rinse your teeth before putting them back in to keep things clean and on track.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The total cost depends on the complexity of your case and how many aligners you’ll need. We’ll review all costs upfront during your consultation and offer flexible financing options to help make treatment affordable, including in-house payment plans and CareCredit.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You might feel some mild pressure or tightness when switching to a new set of aligners—this is a sign they’re working! Most patients find the adjustment period lasts just a day or two.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment times can vary depending on your specific needs, but most patients complete Invisalign in 6 to 18 months. During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear estimate based on your smile goals and current alignment.
