Clear comfortable and discreet teeth straightening.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an advanced orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners instead of traditional metal braces. These custom-made aligners gradually shift teeth into place, offering a comfortable and discreet solution for achieving a straighter smile.



Unlike metal braces, Invisalign® does not require brackets or wires, making it a preferred choice for patients looking for aesthetic and functional benefits while undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign® FAQS

Giving you the answers you need.

  • How long do I need to wear Invisalign® each day?

    For optimal results, Invisalign® aligners should be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing. Wearing them consistently ensures that your treatment progresses as planned.

  • Is Invisalign® Worth It?

    For those looking for a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign® offers several benefits:


    ✔ Virtually Invisible – Aligners are transparent and barely noticeable.

    ✔ Comfortable Fit – No metal brackets or wires to cause irritation.

    ✔ Removable Convenience – Aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene.

    ✔ Fewer Office Visits – No need for frequent tightening appointments.

    ✔ Predictable Results – Custom treatment plans ensure gradual and precise movement.


    While Invisalign® works for most patients, complex cases may still require traditional braces. At Mount Zion Dental, we will assess your specific needs and determine if Invisalign® is the best option for you.

  • Is Invisalign® treatment painful?

    Invisalign® is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners. This sensation usually lasts a few days and is a sign that your teeth are gradually shifting into place.
