Want a straighter smile without the hassle of metal braces? Invisalign® clear aligners offer a nearly invisible way to correct misaligned teeth comfortably and conveniently. These custom-made, removable trays gradually shift your teeth into place without brackets or wires, making them a popular choice for teens and adults.
At Carriage Family Dental, we provide personalized clear aligner treatment plans to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile with minimal disruption to your daily life. Whether you have mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues, clear aligners can help you get the results you want—without compromising your confidence.

How long does clear aligner treatment usually take?
The length of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients complete their clear aligner treatment in 6 to 18 months, though minor adjustments may take as little as 3 to 6 months. We’ll assess your smile during your consultation and provide an estimated treatment timeline.

What is the difference between clear aligners and traditional braces?
- Appearance: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, while traditional braces use metal brackets and wires.
- Removability: Aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, whereas braces stay on your teeth throughout treatment.
- Comfort: Aligners are smooth and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks compared to metal braces.
- Maintenance: With aligners, you won’t have to worry about food restrictions or difficult cleaning routines like you would with braces.
-
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
You should wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours daily for the best results. They should only be removed when eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing or flossing your teeth. Failing to wear them as directed may delay your progress and extend your treatment time.
