Invisalign & Clear Aligners in Houston, TX
Prefer a subtle path to straighter teeth? Clear aligners use a series of removable trays to guide teeth into position— with minimal lifestyle disruption. Eat what you love, brush and floss normally, and enjoy a nearly invisible look.
Why patients choose clear aligners
- Discreet appearance: Smooth, nearly invisible trays
- Removable convenience: Take out to eat, drink, brush, and floss
- Predictable planning: Digital modeling maps your tooth movement
- Fewer office visits: Longer intervals between check-ins
- Comfort first: No brackets or wires; fewer emergencies
Who’s a good candidate?
Great for mild to moderate crowding or spacing, relapse after braces, and many bite refinements.
Teens and adults who can commit to 20–22 hours/day aligner wear see the best results.
Complex cases may benefit from braces or a hybrid plan—we’ll guide you at your consult.
How clear aligners work
- Digital scan & plan: We capture 3D records and design your movement sequence.
- Series of trays: Each set is worn for about 1–2 weeks before advancing.
- Smart refinements: Attachments or IPR (tiny enamel polishing) improve control when needed.
- Retention: After the final trays, retainers keep your smile aligned long-term.
Wear schedule
Most plans change trays every 7–14 days with 20–22 hours/day wear. We tailor cadence to your biology and goals.
Lifestyle tips
Remove aligners for meals, rinse before reinserting, and store in a case. Sip water freely; avoid hot drinks with trays in.
Cleaning & care
Brush aligners gently with cool water and a soft brush. No harsh cleaners or hot water to prevent warping or clouding.

Clear Aligner FAQs
How many hours a day should I wear aligners?
Plan for 20–22 hours/day. Remove only to eat, drink anything besides water, and for oral hygiene.
Can I eat and drink with aligners in?
Take aligners out for meals and beverages (except water). Hot drinks can warp trays; rinse before reinserting.
What are attachments and IPR?
Small tooth-colored bumps (attachments) and micro enamel polishing (IPR) help aligners grip and move teeth more precisely.
What if I lose or crack an aligner?
Contact us. Depending on progress, we may advance to the next set or reorder the current stage.
How do I clean my aligners?
Use cool water and a soft brush. Avoid toothpaste, hot water, or colored cleaners that can scratch or stain.
Will I need refinements?
Many patients complete a short refinement phase for precise detailing. We’ll plan this if needed.
