Invisalign in Dallas — Discreet, Comfortable Teeth Straightening
If you want straighter teeth without metal braces, Invisalign may be the perfect solution. Our clear aligners improve your smile comfortably and discreetly.
Clear Aligner Treatment for Adults & Teens
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligner trays to gently move teeth into their ideal position. Experience virtually invisible, comfortable, and removable orthodontic treatment that fits your lifestyle.
How Invisalign Works
Advanced 3D technology creates a personalized treatment plan that maps your tooth movement from start to finish.
You'll wear a series of custom-made, removable aligners that apply gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth. Most patients switch to a new set every 1—2 weeks, wearing aligners 22 hours per day.
Digital Planning
We map your tooth movement and preview your result before you start using advanced 3D imaging technology.
Removable Trays
Take aligners out to eat, drink anything besides water, and brush or floss normally.
Smart Features
Many plans use small tooth-colored "attachments" that help guide precise movement for optimal results.
Treatment Timeline & Process
Understanding what to expect during your Invisalign journey from consultation to completion.
Treatment Duration
Exact timing depends on your goals and case complexity. Many adult cases finish in about 12—18 months with consistent wear; simpler cases can be shorter.
- Average treatment: 12-18 months
- Simple cases: 6-12 months
- Complex cases: 18-24 months
- Progress monitored at regular visits
Step-by-Step Process
First, we capture digital impressions and create a personalized treatment plan. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss.
- Initial consultation and 3D scan
- Custom treatment plan creation
- Aligner fabrication and delivery
- Regular progress checkups
- Retainer fitting after completion
Daily Routine
Wear Time
22 hours daily; change trays as directed for optimal progress.
Regular Visits
Periodic check-ins to confirm tracking, comfort, and treatment progress.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Understanding the differences to help you choose the best orthodontic treatment for your needs.
Invisalign Advantages
Invisalign aligners are smooth and removable, making them a popular choice for adults and teens seeking a discreet alternative to metal brackets.
- Virtually invisible appearance
- Removable for eating and cleaning
- No dietary restrictions
- Comfortable smooth plastic
- Fewer emergency visits
When Braces Are Better
Traditional braces remain the best option for severe crowding, large gaps or complex jaw discrepancies. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your bite and recommend the most effective approach.
- Handle complex movements
- Work for severe crowding
- Address jaw alignment issues
- No compliance concerns
- Longer treatment time
Care & Maintenance
Proper care ensures your aligners stay clean, clear, and effective throughout treatment.
Daily Care Routine
- Rinse aligners and brush them gently each time you brush your teeth
- Avoid hot water and colored mouthwashes that can warp or stain trays
- Store aligners in their case when not wearing them
- Clean with special aligner cleaning products when needed
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment
Treatment Success Tips
One of the main challenges of clear aligner therapy is compliance. The key to successful treatment is consistent wear and following your treatment plan exactly as prescribed.
- Wear aligners 22 hours per day
- Change to new aligners on schedule
- Attend all scheduled appointments
- Contact us immediately if aligners are lost or damaged
Who's a Good Candidate?
Invisalign can address many orthodontic concerns, but the best way to know if it's right for you is through a consultation.
Ideal Invisalign Cases
Clear aligners can address many mild to moderate spacing, crowding, and bite concerns effectively and comfortably.
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Spacing and gaps between teeth
- Minor bite irregularities
- Relapsed orthodontic cases
- Adult and teen patients
When Other Options May Be Better
Some complex cases especially those requiring extractions or jaw correction may be better served with other orthodontic approaches. We'll advise you at your consultation.
- Severe crowding requiring extractions
- Complex jaw alignment issues
- Significant bite problems
- Patients who can't commit to wearing aligners
- Certain tooth rotation cases
Why Dallas Patients Love Invisalign
Because the trays are nearly invisible and removable, you can straighten your teeth without the look or dietary restrictions of traditional braces. However, aligners must be worn consistently about 22 hours per day to be effective.
