Invisalign straightens teeth using clear aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. The aligners are custom-made for your bite and changed every few weeks as your teeth gradually shift into place. Because they’re removable, you can eat whatever you want and brush and floss normally throughout treatment.
Dr. Agia offers Invisalign at Southampton Aesthetic Dentistry in Southampton, PA, for patients looking for a less noticeable way to straighten their teeth. If you’re interested, call us to schedule a consultation, and we’ll go over how it works and whether it’s a good fit for your situation.
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Each set is custom-made to fit your bite and guide your teeth into better alignment over time. The aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic and are nearly invisible when you’re wearing them.
- Virtually invisible appearance: Most people won’t notice you’re wearing aligners.
- Smooth, comfortable fit: The plastic is lightweight and won’t irritate your mouth like metal brackets can.
- Removable design: Take them out to eat, brush, and floss, no special tools needed.
- Custom-crafted for you: Every aligner is designed specifically for your teeth and treatment plan.
Why Choose Invisalign®?
Patients choose Invisalign because it fits into their daily routine without major changes. You can straighten your teeth while eating what you want, playing sports, and going about your normal life. It’s a popular option for both teens and adults who want a less noticeable alternative to braces.
- Discreet treatment option: The clear aligners are hard to spot, so you can feel confident during treatment.

The Invisalign® Process
Your treatment starts with a consultation where Dr. Agia will evaluate your bite and discuss your goals. Digital scans are used to create a series of custom aligners that you’ll wear in sequence, switching to a new set every one to two weeks. You’ll come in for occasional check-ins to make sure everything is progressing as planned.
- Personalized evaluation: Digital scans capture the exact shape and position of your teeth.
- Custom aligner series: Each set moves your teeth a small amount toward the final position.
- Progress monitoring: Short appointments help track your progress and address any concerns.
- End results revealed: The final aligners help lock in your new alignment.
