Invisalign® for Adults
Invisalign® helps adults straighten their teeth while keeping their treatment discreet. Clear aligners can address common concerns such as crowded or crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
During your first appointment, Dr. Phil will examine your teeth and bite to determine whether Invisalign® is right for you and explain the difference between treatment options if needed. If you’re a candidate, we’ll assess your case individually, create a personalized Invisalign® treatment plan, use digital scans to map tooth movement, and give you a preview of your expected results before you start.
We’ll also review the expected timeline, including when treatment should finish and what to expect at the end, along with cost before you begin. Invisalign® does not require a major change to school, sports, or hygiene habits, but success requires wearing your aligners as directed and changing to each new set over time to ensure steady progress.

Invisalign® Journey FAQs
Am I a good candidate for Invisalign®?
Invisalign® may be a good option for patients with crowded or crooked teeth, gaps, and certain bite concerns. Clear aligners are often used for mild to moderate alignment issues. During your consultation, Dr. Phil will examine your teeth and bite to determine whether Invisalign® can help you achieve your smile goals.
Will people be able to see that I’m wearing Invisalign®?
Invisalign® aligners are made from clear material and are designed to be a discreet option for straightening your teeth. Most patients can continue working, attending school, socializing, and taking photos without noticeable brackets and wires.
Can I eat normally while wearing Invisalign®?
Yes. One benefit of clear aligners is that they are removable. You can take your aligners out before eating, enjoy your usual foods, and then brush and clean your aligners before putting them back in.
How much does Invisalign® cost?
The cost of Invisalign® treatment depends on your individual smile and how much your teeth need to move. Invisalign® typically costs between $4,000 and $7,500, although your actual cost may differ. Insurance benefits and available financing options can help make treatment more affordable.
How long will I need Invisalign®?
Invisalign® treatment typically takes 12 to 24 months, depending on your teeth, bite, and alignment needs. Your dentist will create a detailed treatment plan and explain your expected finish and end timeline for your smile during your consultation. For Invisalign® to work effectively, aligners typically need to be worn for 20–22 hours each day, with new aligners generally switched every 1–2 weeks as directed.
