Align · Invisalign®

Straighter teeth, quietly.

Invisalign® moves teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires. It starts with a digital scan and a plan you can watch on screen before anything begins.

How we think about aligners

Aligners work quietly, and only while they're worn — so we plan carefully, check often, and tell you plainly what the trays will ask of you.

Clear trays instead of brackets

Each aligner moves your teeth a small step, then hands off to the next in the series. There are no brackets or wires, and the trays come out for meals and brushing.

Planned on a scan

We start with a digital scan of your mouth — no trays of impression putty. Dr. Oh designs the movement on screen, and you can watch the projected sequence before you commit to anything.

A projection is a projection, not a promise. Real movement varies by mouth, so we verify it in person and adjust the plan along the way.

Honest about wear time

Aligners only work while they are in — most of the day, every day. We say that plainly at the start, because the trays do the moving and the wearing is yours.

Checked as you go

Short visits every few weeks compare your teeth against the plan to confirm movement is tracking. If a tooth lags, we adjust rather than hope it catches up.

Retainers, from day one

Teeth drift for life, which is why retainers are part of the conversation before the first tray — not a surprise at the end.

Many crowding and spacing cases suit Invisalign well; some need more than aligners. If yours does, we'll say so honestly at the scan.

Nearly invisible
The trays sit close against the teeth, and most people won't notice them in conversation.
Removable for meals and brushing
Trays come out to eat and to clean, so your food and your flossing stay exactly as they were.
Designed digitally, verified in person
The sequence is designed digitally by Dr. Oh, then verified against your actual teeth at every check-in.
Daily wear, spelled out
We tell you up front how much daily wear the plan depends on, because results follow the hours the trays are in.
A plan for keeping the result
Keeping the result is part of the treatment, not an afterthought — we talk retainers before you start.

Common questions

How long does treatment take?
It varies by case and by wear time, so we don't quote a fixed number. The estimate sharpens as real movement is confirmed along the way.
Does it hurt?
A new set of trays typically brings a few days of pressure — that's the teeth responding. It usually settles as each set beds in.
Can I eat normally?
Yes. The trays come out for meals, and you brush before they go back in.
What if I don't wear them enough?
Honestly — treatment stalls. The plan assumes the trays are in most of the day, and teeth stop moving when they aren't.
What happens after the last tray?
Retainers. Teeth drift back without them, so keeping the result is a lifelong habit we set you up for from the start.

Your treatment, step by step

A plan you can see, checked along the way.

STEP 01

Scan and preview

A digital scan, then the projected movement on screen. You see where the plan is headed — and whether aligners are the right tool — before deciding.

STEP 02

First trays, fitted

Your first aligners arrive and we fit them in person, walking through wear time, care, and what the first weeks typically feel like.

STEP 03

Wear and check in

You change trays on schedule; short visits confirm movement is tracking, and we adjust when a tooth needs more time.

STEP 04

Finish and retain

When movement is complete, retainers take over. Teeth drift for life, so we set up the retention habit that keeps the result yours.
