Invisalign in Pearland & Bellaire
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign® clear aligners for teeth allow you to achieve the beautiful straight smile you’ve always wanted — without braces. The Invisalign system takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of clear aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic you wear over your teeth.

How does Invisalign work?
At your free consultation, we’ll take photos and X-rays to create a 3D image of your mouth. If we determine Invisalign is the best orthodontic treatment option for you, we’ll discuss the details of your treatment and all associated costs. We’ll then create your custom-fitted Invisalign clear aligners from these images, and you’ll begin the teeth-straightening process! Wearing your Invisalign aligners will gently move your teeth into place little by little, based on the exact movements planned for you by Dr. McGrory or Dr. McCarty, our board-certified orthodontists. Depending on your unique case, you may notice a change just a few months into your Invisalign treatment.
How long does Invisalign take?
On average, patients wear their Invisalign clear aligners for 9–15 months and typically use 18–30 sets during Invisalign treatment. Each clear aligner set is normally worn for one to two weeks. It’s important to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day for them to straighten your teeth properly. You can remove them for brushing, flossing, eating and special occasions.
Like with metal braces or clear braces, you will generally need to wear a retainer after Invisalign treatment in Bellaire or Pearland to maintain your new alignment and confident new smile.
What can Invisalign fix?
While Invisalign can solve most of the same orthodontic issues braces can, Invisalign may not be recommended for some complex alignment or bite issues, or those with bridgework. Dr. McGrory or Dr. McCarty can advise you about what orthodontic treatment is best for you.

Benefits of Invisalign vs. braces
- Unnoticeable: With Invisalign in Pearland or Bellaire, you’ll get a great smile without a treatment that gets in the way of your daily life. While metal braces are often obvious when a person smiles, most won’t even notice you’re wearing Invisalign!
- Removable: Clear aligners must be removed for eating and drinking anything other than water. To prevent staining, you’ll need to clean your teeth before putting the aligners back on after each time you eat. However, you won’t have to watch what you eat with Invisalign like when wearing braces – bring on the popcorn and peanuts.
- Comfortable: Invisalign’s smooth plastic clear teeth aligners don’t have brackets and wires that can irritate your mouth like traditional metal or ceramic clear braces. Removing the aligners for brushing and flossing also ensures an easier oral hygiene routine than you’d have with braces.
