Invisalign can help many adults and teens straighten their smiles with clear, removable aligners instead of traditional braces. At River Market Dental, we evaluate your smile, bite, spacing, crowding, and goals to determine whether clear aligner therapy is a good fit.

Invisalign may help with

• Crowded teeth
• Spacing or small gaps
• Mild to moderate bite concerns
• Relapse after past orthodontic treatment
• Smile alignment before cosmetic dentistry

What to expect

Your Invisalign consultation includes an exam and a discussion of your goals. If you are a candidate, treatment planning may include digital records, a staged aligner plan, and periodic progress visits. You will need to wear aligners consistently for the prescribed amount of time each day.

Why choose a dentist-led Invisalign plan?

Straightening teeth is not only cosmetic. Tooth movement can affect bite forces, gum health, restorative plans, and long-term maintenance. A dental-led plan helps align cosmetic goals with whole-mouth health.

FAQs

Is Invisalign painful? Aligners can create pressure or soreness when a new tray starts moving teeth, but discomfort is usually temporary.

Can I eat with aligners in? Aligners are usually removed for eating and drinking anything other than water.

How long does Invisalign take? Treatment time varies based on complexity and compliance. A consultation is needed for a realistic estimate.

Do I need retainers afterward? Most orthodontic treatment requires retainers to help maintain the final result.

Is Invisalign right for every case? No. Some complex bite or tooth-movement needs may require orthodontic referral or different treatment.
