At Sacred Dental, the first thing we want to tell our patients is that it's never too late to achieve the smile they've always wanted. Next, If you have visions of wires and brackets, irritated mouth tissues, and frequent adjustments, we are happy to report that modern technology has revolutionized orthodontics. Now, we can offer Invisalign clear aligners for a comfortable, effective, and covert way to a straighter smile without all the metal.



Clear aligners are a series of trays that help move teeth into proper alignment. Generally, aligners areswitched out every two weeks. Aligners need to be worn all day to ensure proper movement of theteeth, but can be removed for eating or brushing. Traditional braces move teeth into place by usingwires and brackets that are bonded to the teeth. Traditional braces move teeth faster than aligners.Some people may find the brackets and wires involved with traditional braces cumbersome or notesthetically pleasing, in which case they can use aligners to move their teeth.
Adult braces like Invisalign have become increasingly popular because they straighten teeth without the discomfort or appearance of metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligner trays that gradually shift your teeth into place. Treatment time varies by patient and can range from a few months to about two years.
For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day and removed only for eating and brushing. This flexibility is one of the biggest advantages over traditional braces, which stay on for the entire treatment period.
If you’re considering Invisalign and want to know whether it’s right for you, schedule a consultation to discuss your orthodontic needs and smile goals.
You’ve probably seen the results—people of all ages showing off straight, confident smiles thanks to Invisalign. But can it really correct an overbite, or are traditional braces the better option?
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth. It can develop due to genetics, jaw misalignment, or habits like thumb-sucking, and may contribute to jaw pain or TMJ issues.
Can Invisalign fix an overbite?
Yes—Invisalign can effectively correct most mild to moderate overbites. While very complex cases may still require traditional braces, clear aligners are a proven solution for many orthodontic concerns. They’re nearly invisible, comfortable to wear, and removable for eating, brushing, and flossing, making treatment easy to integrate into daily life.
While Invisalign has age guidelines, they’re fairly simple. The treatment is generally recommended for teens and adults because younger children may not yet have all their permanent teeth—something essential for clear aligner therapy to work effectively. Invisalign also requires consistent wear (20–22 hours per day for about 12–18 months), which can be a challenge for younger children who may struggle with the responsibility.
In certain cases, Invisalign may be used for younger patients with specific orthodontic needs, but these situations are uncommon. Ultimately, the right age for Invisalign depends on the individual’s dental development and a professional evaluation from a dentist or orthodontist.
