Aligner dentistry
Invisalign® at Anbu Dental
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign® is the world’s leading clear-aligner system—much like how Kleenex refers to tissues or Band-Aid to bandages. These aligners are transparent, removable plastic trays that are custom-designed to gently move your teeth into the desired position.
Your Invisalign treatment involves a series of aligners, each applying light, precise forces to shift your teeth by about 0.2 mm at a time. At Anbu Dental, our team ensures every treatment plan is personalized to your unique orthodontic needs for efficient, predictable results.

Benefits of Invisalign®
Comfortable
Invisalign uses gentle biomechanical forces, making it one of the most comfortable orthodontic systems available. Because each aligner makes very small adjustments, many patients barely feel their teeth moving.
Invisible
Made of clear, medical-grade plastic, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible—perfect for adults, working professionals, and teens who prefer a discreet treatment option.
Removable
You can remove your aligners for meals, brushing, or important moments. With 20–22 hours of daily wear, the treatment remains effective while your oral hygiene stays easy to maintain.
Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign®?
Invisalign is ideal for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, such as:
Mild crowding or spacing
Mild crossbites or overbites
Alignment needed before restorative work (e.g., creating space for crowns or implants)
For more complex orthodontic issues, our team may combine Invisalign with traditional or lingual braces for a hybrid treatment—offering faster, more aesthetic, and more comfortable results.
