Invisalign® in Houston, TX
Align Your Smile at Antoine Dental Center
Do you have a misaligned smile and dream of having straighter teeth but don’t want the hassle of traditional metal braces? Then you’re in luck. At Antoine Dental Center, Dr. Behzad Nazari has a solution for you — Invisalign®.
Invisalign has a reputation for giving patients straight teeth discreetly and conveniently. However, many patients don’t initially realize that this treatment also offers several other advantages.
Here’s a look at what Invisalign does for patients and how our Houston dentists can provide you with this clear aligner treatment.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a popular corrective dental procedure that can help people achieve a straighter and healthier smile in half the time compared to traditional metal braces. They’re custom-created to meet each patient’s unique oral health needs. Patients will swap out their clear aligner trays every two weeks, gradually straightening their teeth in phases.
Many adults turn to Invisalign as a replacement for traditional metal braces, while others use it when they need faster cosmetic or aesthetic results.

Shorter Treatment
Invisalign treatment typically lasts about 12 to 18 months for most patients. Treatment time will depend on several factors, including the severity of your misaligned teeth, the consistency in wearing your aligners, and your smile goals.
Removable
Invisalign trays are removable, so you can take them out when you need to eat or drink, preventing food debris from getting caught in your trays. However, it’s important to note that you’ll need to wear your clear aligners between 20 to 22 hours a day to fully experience the benefits of this orthodontic treatment.
Benefits of Using Invisalign
The Ideal Invisalign Candidate
Patients who are suffering from one or more of the following issues may be eligible for Invisalign:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Open bites
- Crossed bites
- Gapped and spaced teeth
- Overbite and underbites
- Malocclusion (bad bites)
The Invisalign Process
Invisalign always begins with a consultation to ensure you’re a suitable candidate for treatment. Once your candidacy is confirmed, our Houston dentist will take dental records, including bite impressions, photos, and X-rays. In combination with the treatment designed by our dentist, these records will be used to produce your custom aligners.
After the aligners are ready, you’ll wear them for two weeks at a time, for at least 20 to 22 hours per day, until treatment is complete. The result is a healthier, better-looking smile with fewer inconveniences when compared to other options.
