Discover How Easily Invisalign Treatment Fits Into Your Life
Invisalign clear aligners give you a way to straighten your teeth that works around your life rather than disrupting it. From the way they look to the way they feel, your experience is designed to be as easy and comfortable as possible.
Nearly Invisible Treatment
Clear aligners are barely noticeable when worn. You can straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.
Metal-Free Treatment
Without metal hardware in your mouth, there's nothing to irritate your cheeks or gums. Your treatment is more comfortable than braces.
Easy Removal
Taking your aligners out for meals, brushing, and flossing takes seconds, so it's easy to maintain good oral hygiene.
Fewer Office Visits
Invisalign treatment requires fewer progress checks than traditional braces, which means less time away from your busy schedule.
Faster Results
You can complete your Invisalign treatment in months rather than years. You'll get to the end result quicker than with traditional braces.
Preview Your New Smile Before Beginning Invisalign Treatment
Dr. Levenson stays current with the latest dental technologies and techniques, and that commitment shows in every Invisalign consultation. The process starts with a thorough exam and digital X-rays to evaluate your teeth and bite. If your concerns are purely cosmetic, veneers may be worth considering as an alternative.
If Invisalign aligners are the right fit, here's what to expect:
- A digital scanner captures precise impressions of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy, uncomfortable molds.
- We map out your full treatment plan using specialized technology. You'll get a preview of your smile transformation before a single aligner is made.
- Your customized aligners are created in a lab based on that digital plan and sent directly to the office.
- Every two weeks, you simply switch to the next set of aligners on your own. You won't have to make frequent office visits for adjustments.
- You can remove your aligners to eat, brush, floss, or for special occasions. For the best results, plan to wear them for at least 22 hours a day.
Since the aligners are nearly invisible, you won't have to put your life on hold while your smile improves. For many people, treatment wraps up in about a year, leaving you with a straighter smile you'll love to show off.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
Q What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is custom-made based on a digital scan of your teeth. The aligners are nearly invisible when worn, so they're a popular choice for teens and adults who want to straighten their smile discreetly.
Q How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made clear aligners that apply gentle, consistent pressure to shift your teeth into alignment over time. You switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks. Each set moves your teeth a little closer to the final result. Digital technology maps out your entire treatment plan from the start, so you can see the outcome before treatment even begins.
Q Is Invisalign as effective as traditional braces?
Invisalign is highly effective for treating a wide range of alignment concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. For more complex orthodontic cases, traditional braces may still be the better option. Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and bite and let you know whether Invisalign can achieve the results you want.
Q How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most people complete their Invisalign treatment in about 12 to 18 months, though some cases can be finished in as little as six months. The timeline depends on the complexity of your alignment concerns and how consistently you wear your aligners. Wearing them for at least 22 hours a day is the most important factor in keeping your treatment on schedule.
Q Is Invisalign noticeable when worn?
Invisalign aligners are made from a clear, smooth plastic that's barely visible when worn. Most people won't notice you're wearing them unless they're looking very closely. This makes Invisalign a popular choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the appearance of traditional metal brackets and wires during treatment.
Q Can I remove my Invisalign aligners?
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are fully removable. You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, as well as for special occasions. To stay on track with your treatment timeline, plan to wear them for at least 22 hours a day and put them back in as soon as possible after removing them.
Q Is Invisalign comfortable?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces because there are no brackets or wires to irritate the inside of your mouth. Some people experience mild pressure or discomfort for a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners, which is a normal sign that the teeth are moving. This typically fades quickly as your mouth adjusts to the new aligner.
Q Can teenagers use Invisalign?
Invisalign offers a version specifically designed for teenagers that includes compliance indicators and replacement aligners for lost or damaged sets. It works the same way as the adult version, providing a discreet and comfortable alternative to metal braces. Your dentist will evaluate whether Invisalign is appropriate based on your teen's dental development and their alignment issues.
