Invisalign Clear Aligners in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually moves your teeth into position with a series of custom-made, removable trays. At our Palm Beach Gardens office, Dr. David Skopp and Dr. Eden Skopp offer Invisalign and plan your treatment around your goals and the health of your teeth and gums.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners, each one slightly different, to move your teeth a little at a time. You switch to the next aligner on a schedule, and you take them out to eat, brush, and floss.
Before treatment begins, your doctor examines your teeth and gums, talks with you about your goals, and explains whether Invisalign is a good fit or whether another option may work better.
Concerns Invisalign can address
Crowded teeth
Aligners can gradually make room and ease teeth into a more even position.
Gaps between teeth
Aligners can help close spaces between teeth.
Bite concerns
In some cases, aligners can improve how the upper and lower teeth fit together. Your doctor will tell you what is possible for you.
Teeth that have shifted
Aligners can move teeth that have drifted over time, including after past orthodontic treatment.
Benefits of Invisalign
Clear and discreet
The aligners are clear, so they are less noticeable than traditional braces.
Removable
You take the aligners out to eat, brush, and floss, so your routine stays familiar.
Comfortable fit
Each aligner is made for your teeth and has no metal brackets or wires.
A plan you can see
Your doctor explains your treatment plan, including the steps and expected timeline, before you begin.
The Invisalign process
Consultation and exam
Your doctor examines your teeth and gums, takes x-rays, and talks with you about what you would like to change.
Scans or impressions
We record the position of your teeth so your aligners can be made to fit you.
Your treatment plan
Your doctor reviews the plan with you, including the steps, the timeline, and the cost.
Wearing your aligners
You wear each set of aligners as directed, usually about 20 to 22 hours a day, and switch to the next set on schedule.
Check-ins and retainers
We see you for check-ins during treatment. When it ends, a retainer helps keep your teeth in their new position.
Treatment time varies from person to person. Your doctor will explain what to expect for your teeth.
Is Invisalign right for you?
Invisalign may be a good fit if you have healthy teeth and gums and want to straighten your teeth or close gaps without traditional braces. It works best when you are able to wear the aligners as directed.
Some cases are more complex and may need a different approach. At your consultation, your doctor will explain whether Invisalign is a good match for your teeth and goals.

What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made, removable trays to gradually move your teeth into position.
How does Invisalign work?
You wear a set of clear aligners, each slightly different from the last, and switch to the next set on a schedule. Over time, the aligners move your teeth step by step, following the plan your doctor creates.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on your teeth and goals. Your doctor will give you an estimate at your consultation.
Can I take the aligners out?
Yes. Invisalign aligners are removable, so you take them out to eat, brush, and floss. They work best when worn about 20 to 22 hours a day.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Many patients feel some pressure or soreness for a few days when they start a new set of aligners. This usually eases as your teeth adjust. Tell us if it lasts.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Many people with healthy teeth and gums are candidates, but some cases need a different approach. Your doctor will examine your teeth and tell you whether Invisalign is a good fit.
Do I need a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes. A retainer helps keep your teeth in their new position after treatment, and your doctor will explain how and when to wear it.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost depends on your treatment plan and how long it takes. Some dental plans include orthodontic benefits. Call our office and our team will help you understand your coverage and review your options at your consultation.
