Is Invisalign right for you?

Invisalign handles most cases we used to reserve for braces — crowding, spacing, mild to moderate bite issues. Dr. Hartman is a Certified Invisalign Provider and will tell you plainly at your consultation if your case is better suited to braces instead; not every case is.

FAQs

Does Invisalign hurt?

Most patients feel pressure for a day or two after switching to a new tray — not the sharp discomfort people associate with tightening braces.

Can I eat normally?

Yes — aligners come out to eat and drink anything besides water, then go back in. No food restrictions like braces.

How long do I actually need to wear them?

20–22 hours a day. Treatment length depends on wear time more than almost anything else.
