Invisalign - Myths and Facts

You need metal braces to straighten teeth.

Invisalign offers a clear, comfortable option. These aligners are nearly invisible and custom-made to fit your smile—no wires, no brackets, just results.

Invisalign only works for small cosmetic issues.

Invisalign treats overbites, underbites, gaps, and crowding. It's a powerful solution for both mild and complex orthodontic problems—all without metal.

Invisalign causes more pain than braces.

Invisalign aligners are smooth and gentle. They gradually shift teeth without the poking wires or bracket irritation that traditional braces can cause.

Invisalign comes with food restrictions.

You remove the aligners to eat, so no food is off-limits! Enjoy popcorn, gum, or crunchy snacks—just pop the trays back in after brushing.

Invisalign treatment drags on for years.

Many patients finish in 12–18 months. Advanced planning software helps predict results and speed up your journey to a straighter, healthier smile.

Invisalign is only for young people.

Invisalign is for teens and adults. Whether you're 16 or 60, it’s never too late to improve your smile discreetly and comfortably.
