Clear Aligner Therapy is a modern, discreet, and highly effective way to straighten teeth without the look or feel of traditional metal braces. Using a series of custom-made, removable aligners, this treatment gently shifts your teeth into their ideal positions—giving you a healthier, more confident smile.
At Lumen Dental we utilize Invisalign to predictively and efficiently align your teeth to give you the smile you have always been looking.
Book OnlineHow Invisalign Clear Aligners Work
Your Invisalign treatment begins with digital scans using our intraoral scanner which will create a precise 3D model of your teeth.
Using this model, a series of clear, BPA-free aligners is designed to gradually move your teeth week by week.
Each set is worn for 22 hours per day for 1–2 weeks before switching to the next.
What Clear Aligners Can Treat
Clear aligners are effective for many orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Spacing or gaps
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- General tooth misalignment
Why Patients Love Clear Aligners

Treatment Guidelines
For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink anything besides water, or brush and floss. Regular check-ins ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
