Clear Aligners
IInvisalign® offers an exciting alternative to metal braces. Utilizing a series of invisible plastic trays customized just for you, Invisalign gently guides your teeth into their desired position. Simply switch to a new set of trays every two weeks and watch your smile transform.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign employs a sequence of removable plastic trays. Advanced 3D technology is used to create these trays, which our orthodontists design to gradually shift your teeth. Each set of trays is worn for two weeks, with average total treatment times ranging from 9-18 months.
Can I get Invisalign through my dentist?
Entrust your Invisalign journey to an orthodontist, not a general practitioner. While general dentists might take a six-hour weekend course on orthodontics before treating cases, orthodontists undergo three years of specialized training, focusing solely on orthodontics.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative treatment but has limitations and cannot address certain issues. However, the system has significantly improved since its inception, allowing it to treat more complex cases. Schedule a complimentary consultation to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.
What is the treatment process?
Start by scheduling a complimentary consultation to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. Once you’re deemed a suitable candidate, the treatment planning phase commences. X-rays, photos, and impressions of your teeth will be taken, enabling the creation of a 3D image of your teeth and jaw. Based on your model and treatment plan, a series of custom trays will be designed. You’ll change trays every two weeks, with checkups every six weeks.
How long does treatment take?
Each smile is unique, but the average treatment time for adults is one year, with 18-30 trays worn on average. With no metal or wires involved, you’ll spend less time at your doctor’s office. For optimal results, wear your trays for 20-22 hours daily.
How do Invisalign trays feel?
Invisalign trays are crafted from smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic. They can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. Invisalign trays are ideal for sports enthusiasts and musicians, as they don’t involve sharp brackets or impede mouthguard or instrument use.

My teeth had moved since I had braces many years ago, and Murray Orthodontics recommenced Invisalign. The process was so simple, and wearing them became an automatic and easy habit. Every time I went in for a check-up, everyone in the office was so friendly and helpful. I’m now in the retainer phase, and I get compliments all the time about how great my teeth look. Thanks to everyone at Murray Orthodontics!
