Invisalign

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made from a precise digital scan of your mouth. Each set of aligners shifts your teeth gradually — you wear each set for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next. The aligners are smooth, comfortable, and nearly invisible, which is why so many adults who would never wear traditional braces choose this route.

Orthodontic treatment is not just cosmetic. Straight teeth are easier to clean, which reduces the risk of decay and gum disease. A corrected bite can also reduce jaw strain and uneven wear on your teeth. Invisalign makes it possible to address all of that without altering your appearance during treatment — you go about your life, and most people around you will never notice a thing.

When Should You Consider It?

• Crowded or overlapping teeth: Invisalign creates space and aligns teeth that have shifted over time.
• Gaps between teeth: Spacing issues can be closed gradually and precisely.
• A bite that does not feel right: Overbites, underbites, and crossbites are often treatable with Invisalign.
• You tried braces before and your teeth have shifted: Refinement treatment with Invisalign is a popular option for relapse cases.
• You want to straighten your teeth discreetly as an adult: The clear aligner format is designed specifically for people who want results without the look of metal braces.

What to Expect

1. Digital scan and treatment planning.
   A precise 3D scan of your teeth is taken and your full treatment sequence is mapped out digitally so you can see the projected result before you begin.
2. Aligner wear.
   You wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth, and progress through each set on schedule.
3. Progress checks and refinements.
   Dr. Sezer checks in at regular intervals to confirm your teeth are tracking as planned and makes any refinements needed along the way.
