Invisalign & Braces
Straighten Your Smile Without the Metal
Everyone deserves a beautiful, healthy smile, and Invisalign makes it easier than ever to achieve this at any age. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into their ideal position—discreetly, comfortably, and effectively.
At Gleam Dental, we combine Invisalign’s innovative technology with advanced digital scanning to give you the smile you’ve always wanted, without disrupting your lifestyle.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign: Custom-made Transparent Plastic Trays
The Process — Who is Invisalign For?
Digital Scanning:
We use the iTero Lumina Intraoral Scanner to capture precise 3D images of your teeth—no messy, uncomfortable impressions required. The innovative 6-camera scanner captures images quickly and accurately.
See Your Future Smile:
Using Invisalign Smile Architect, we’ll show you a digital projection of what your final smile will look like—before treatment even begins. You’ll see your future smile right after your scan!
Custom Aligners:
Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom aligners is created. You’ll wear your aligners for 22-24 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Progressive Treatment:
You’ll receive a fresh new set of trays approximately every week for 9-24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Each new set continues the gradual repositioning of your teeth.
Retention:
After treatment, we’ll provide retainer trays to wear at night to prevent your teeth from shifting and protect your beautiful new smile.
Who Is Invisalign For?
Invisalign is suitable for patients of all ages—children, adolescents, adults, and seniors.
Perfect for Adults
As people age, lower front teeth often experience crowding—a natural phenomenon called Mesial Drift. This is a gradual forward movement of teeth that occurs over time. Older patients who never had crowding before may notice their teeth don’t fit together as well as they once did.
Invisalign is ideal for these cases, especially for patients who want a discreet option that doesn’t interfere with their professional or personal life.
Great for Teens and Young Adults
For those who want straight teeth without the self-consciousness of metal braces, Invisalign offers the perfect solution. The clear aligners are barely noticeable and can be removed for important events, photos, and sports.
