Experience Invisalign care at Obour Dental, thoughtfully guided by Dr. Franco Obour and tailored to your smile.

Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may feel some pressure and mild discomfort for a day or two when you switch to a new set of aligners, but this is a sign the treatment is working. The discomfort is typically described as pressure rather than pain and is much less intense than the soreness people experience with braces adjustments.
Invisalign costs vary depending on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment needed. For many patients, Invisalign costs about the same as traditional braces. We offer flexible payment plans to fit your budget, and many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign just as they would cover traditional orthodontics. We'll provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation.
Most people won't notice you're wearing Invisalign unless you tell them. The aligners are made from clear plastic and fit snugly against your teeth, making them virtually invisible. You might have small tooth-colored attachments on some teeth during treatment, but these are also quite discreet.
No, you should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents food from getting trapped against your teeth and protects the aligners from damage and staining. The good news is that because the aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you want - there are no food restrictions like there are with traditional braces.
If you lose an aligner, contact us right away. Depending on where you are in your treatment, we may have you move forward to your next aligner, go back to your previous one, or order a replacement.
Yes, retainers are essential after any orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign. Once your teeth are in their new positions, they need time to stabilize. Without retainers, teeth can gradually shift back toward their original positions.
Treatment time with Invisalign varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months. Some minor cases may finish in as little as six months, while more complex corrections might take up to two years.
