CLEAR ALIGNERS · NEW WINDSOR, NY
How Invisalign actually moves your teeth.
A custom series of clear aligners gradually shifts your teeth into place — here's exactly how the process works, start to finish.
Why it matters
The mechanics behind the process
Digital mapping
We digitally map your teeth and plan the full series of movements in advance.
Custom aligner series
Each tray in your series nudges your teeth slightly closer to their final position.
22 hours a day
Aligners work by staying in nearly all day, removed mainly for eating and brushing.
Fewer office visits

Common Questions
How Invisalign Works FAQs
How does Invisalign straighten teeth?
A planned series of custom clear aligners applies gentle, controlled pressure to move teeth gradually into improved positions.
How often do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?
Aligners are usually worn for most of the day and night. Consistent wear is essential for teeth to track according to the treatment plan.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies with case complexity and cooperation. A digital evaluation provides an individualized estimate and planned aligner sequence.
How do I keep Invisalign aligners clean?
Rinse them when removed, clean them gently as directed, and brush before reinserting them. Avoid hot water, which can distort the plastic.
