Invisalign in Chicago, IL

Clear Aligner Therapy for a Straighter, More Confident Smile
Straightening your teeth doesn't have to involve brackets and wires. Invisalign is a discreet, comfortable orthodontic solution that uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. At Bucktown Wicker Park Dental, we offer Invisalign to patients of all ages who want an effective alternative to metal braces—without compromising their lifestyle.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that corrects misalignment using a series of transparent, removable trays. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series, slowly guiding your teeth into their ideal positions.
These trays are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic and are virtually invisible when worn—perfect for both adults and teens.
Who Is Invisalign For?
This treatment is ideal for patients with mild to moderate alignment issues such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite or underbite
- Open bite or crossbite
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment
We make the Invisalign process straightforward and fully personalized. Here's how it works:
- Initial Consultation
We'll evaluate your bite, take digital impressions, and determine if you're a good candidate. - Custom Treatment Plan
Using 3D imaging technology, we map out your treatment journey and show a digital preview of your results. - Aligner Wear
You’ll wear each set of aligners 20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink (non-water), brush, and floss. - Progress Monitoring
Routine check-ins ensure your teeth are tracking properly and adjustments are made if needed. - Final Refinement
Once treatment ends, we’ll provide retainers to maintain your new smile long-term.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
While traditional braces remain an excellent choice for complex cases, Invisalign offers several unique advantages:
- Completely removable for meals and oral hygiene
- No dietary restrictions
- Smooth edges for added comfort

Common Questions About Invisalign
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most treatments take between 6 to 18 months, depending on complexity.
Is Invisalign painful?
You may feel pressure or mild discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, but it’s generally more comfortable than braces.
Do I need to wear a retainer afterward?
Yes. Wearing retainers as directed keeps your teeth from shifting after treatment is complete.
Can Invisalign help with sleep apnea?
In some cases, Invisalign can improve mild airway obstruction.
