Invisalign® in Vienna, VA
If you want a straighter smile without traditional metal braces, Invisalign® may be an option. Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth according to a personalized treatment plan.
What Is Invisalign®?
Experience, Comfort & Convenience in One Office
Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom clear aligners to gradually reposition teeth.
The aligners are removable and designed to fit closely over your teeth. As you progress through your prescribed series of aligners, each set helps guide your teeth toward their planned positions.
Invisalign® can address certain alignment and bite concerns, but it is not appropriate for every patient. An evaluation is necessary to determine whether clear aligner treatment is right for your smile.
Did You Know?
Because Invisalign® aligners are removable, you can take them out when eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear according to your dentist’s instructions is important for keeping treatment on track.

Clear Aligners Designed Around Your Smile
Straightening your teeth is about more than choosing between clear aligners and traditional braces. Your treatment needs to account for your current tooth positions, bite, oral health, and desired results.
At Tysons Corner Dentists, we’ll evaluate your smile and determine whether Invisalign® is an appropriate treatment option for your needs.
If you are a candidate, your treatment plan will outline how your teeth are intended to move throughout the process.
A Discreet Approach to Straightening Teeth
One of the most recognizable features of Invisalign® is its clear aligner design.
The aligners fit over your teeth without the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces. This can make them an appealing option for adults and teens who want a less noticeable approach to orthodontic treatment.
Your aligners still need to be worn consistently to work as planned.
Removable for Everyday Convenience
Invisalign® aligners can be removed for meals, allowing you to eat without the food restrictions commonly associated with fixed orthodontic appliances.
You can also remove the aligners when brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine throughout treatment.
After eating and cleaning your teeth, the aligners should be placed back in according to your prescribed wear schedule.
Correcting Common Alignment Concerns
Depending on the individual case, Invisalign® may be used to address concerns involving crowded teeth, spacing, and certain bite or alignment problems.
The type and complexity of tooth movement Invisalign® can accomplish varies from patient to patient.
A dental evaluation allows us to assess your teeth and bite and determine whether Invisalign® or another treatment approach is better suited to your needs.
