Professional Clear Aligner Treatment
Want straighter teeth without traditional braces? With advanced orthodontic training and certification from the Academy of General Practice Orthodontics, Dr. Chris Cappetta provides Invisalign clear aligner treatment tailored to each patient’s needs. Invisalign offers a nearly invisible, removable alternative to braces that fits comfortably into daily life.
Dr. Cappetta designs treatment plans that guide you through a series of custom aligners, each set gently moving your teeth closer to their ideal position. Because aligners can be removed for meals, brushing, and special occasions, patients often find Invisalign more flexible and convenient than traditional braces.

Conditions We Treat with Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners can correct a wide range of alignment problems by gently moving your teeth into better positions. Common concerns treated with aligners include:
- Crowded teeth – helps straighten overlapping teeth, making them easier to clean and reducing the risk of gum problems
- Gaps between teeth – closes spaces caused by missing teeth or natural spacing
- Crossbite – corrects teeth that bite in the wrong position, helping prevent uneven wear and jaw strain
- Overbite – reduces excessive overlap of upper teeth over lower teeth, improving comfort and function
- Underbite – moves lower teeth back into position when they extend beyond the upper teeth
Invisalign offers a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces, allowing patients to improve alignment while maintaining a natural look during treatment.
What to Expect with Invisalign
Starting Invisalign treatment is straightforward, and most patients find it more comfortable than they expected. Here’s what a typical clear aligner journey looks like:
- First few days – Aligners may feel snug at first. This is a normal sign that they’re gently moving your teeth. Any slight speech changes usually fade within a few days.
- Treatment routine – You’ll switch to new aligners every 1–2 weeks as your teeth gradually shift. Each set feels tight briefly, then becomes comfortable.
- Daily flexibility – Aligners are removed for meals and special occasions but should be worn 20–22 hours daily for the best results. Most patients find this easy to adapt to.
- Visible progress – Improvements are often noticeable within the first few months. Dr. Cappetta will check your progress at regular appointments to ensure treatment stays on track.
Treatment length varies, but many patients complete Invisalign in about 12–18 months, depending on their needs.

Invisalign Treatment FAQ’s
How much does Invisalign cost?
Invisalign treatment typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000, depending on your specific alignment needs and treatment complexity. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of orthodontic treatment costs. We
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies from 12 to 18 months on average, depending on the complexity of your tooth movement needs and how consistently you wear your aligners. More complex cases may take longer, while minor adjustments can be completed faster.
Are there risks with Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign is a safe and widely used orthodontic treatment, but like any dental procedure, there are some risks to consider. The most common are mild discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, as your teeth begin to move. Some patients may also experience temporary changes in speech, minor irritation to the cheeks or tongue, or increased risk of cavities if aligners aren’t removed for proper brushing and flossing.
In rare cases, treatment may take longer than expected or require additional adjustments. Following your dentist’s instructions and wearing your aligners as directed helps minimize risks and supports the best outcome.
Will wearing Invisalign affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight lisp initially as your tongue adjusts to the aligners. Most people adapt quickly and speak normally within a few days. The thin design of modern aligners minimizes speech interference.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
For optimal results, wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear ensures your treatment stays on schedule and achieves the best orthodontic outcomes.
