What Makes Invisalign Different:

  • Nearly invisible appearance, most people won’t notice you’re wearing them
  • Completely removable for eating, drinking, and special occasions
  • No food restrictions, enjoy popcorn, apples, and all your favorites
  • Easier oral hygiene (brush and floss normally)
  • Fewer emergency visits (no broken brackets or poking wires)
  • Smooth, comfortable plastic won’t irritate your cheeks or gums

Most patients complete treatment in 6 to 18 months, though your specific timeline depends on your case complexity. During your free consultation, Dr. Karotkin & Dr. Huang will provide a personalized treatment estimate.

Can You Combine Both? Yes! Some patients benefit from a hybrid approach: Invisalign on top teeth and braces on bottom, or braces initially followed by Invisalign refinement. Our orthodontists will recommend the best strategy for your specific situation.

What Dental Conditions Can Invisalign Address?

Invisalign isn’t just for minor cosmetic improvements. This advanced system can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues that patients commonly experience:

  • Crowded teeth, when there’s not enough space in your jaw
  • Gaps and spacing issues, unwanted spaces between teeth
  • Overbite, when upper teeth overlap lower teeth too much
  • Underbite, when lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth
  • Crossbite, when upper and lower jaws are misaligned
  • Open bite, when teeth don’t touch when mouth is closed

During your consultation, we’ll determine if Invisalign can address your specific concerns or if another treatment approach might be better suited to your needs.

Invisalign for Teens: Confidence Without Compromise

School photos, first dates, sports, and special events: these moments matter, and metal braces shouldn’t get in the way. Teenagers love Invisalign Teen because it fits their lifestyle without compromise.

Why Teens Love Invisalign:

  • Perfect for school pictures and special events
  • Safe for all sports and activities, no mouth guards needed
  • Eat whatever you want, no dietary restrictions
  • Better oral hygiene means healthier teeth and gums
  • Blue compliance indicators help teens stay on track with wear time
  • Less time in the orthodontist’s chair means more time with friends

Our teen patients consistently tell us that Invisalign made their orthodontic experience easier and more enjoyable than they expected. Many say their friends didn’t even realize they were in treatment until they revealed their new smile.
