What Is Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign aligners are a popular orthodontic solution that uses a series of clear plastic trays to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Unlike traditional braces, these clear aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed when eating, brushing, or for special occasions. This makes them a great option for both teens and adults who prefer a more subtle way to straighten their teeth. Each set of teeth aligners is custom-made using digital impressions taken in our office. This helps us fabricate your clear plastic trays to be a comfortable fit and effective treatment designed just for you.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Choosing Invisalign treatment offers many advantages for patients looking for a modern orthodontic option. Some individuals may not realize that a misaligned bite will affect not only the aesthetics of your smile but also the day-to-day functions we often take for granted, like biting, chewing, and even talking. Some key benefits include:

Virtually invisible appearance
Removable for meals, brushing, and flossing
No dietary restrictions
Smooth, comfortable material with no metal brackets or wires
Fewer office visits required throughout treatment

Invisalign Treatment FAQ

Our team strives to make starting your teeth straightening journey with us as simple and straightforward as possible. We prioritize comfort and clear communication every step of the way. Throughout your treatment, our friendly team will be here to support you and answer any questions you may have. Some common questions we receive include:

How long does teeth alignment treatment take?

Invisalign treatment lasts for about 12-18 months on average, depending on the severity of the case. To see the desired results, you must wear your plastic trays for at least 22 hours per day.

How do I care for my clear aligners?

Taking care of your clear aligners is easy. After you've removed your braces to enjoy a meal or a beverage, we recommend brushing your teeth before placing the trays back inside your mouth. Be sure to rinse your clear aligners on a regular basis, gently brushing the clear plastic tray with lukewarm water, clear antibacterial soap, and a soft toothbrush to avoid leaving scratches.

Are Invisalign aligners comfortable?

Yes, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, which reduces irritation to your cheeks and gums.

Can I eat while wearing my aligners?

No, it's important to remove your teeth aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining, damage, and food particles getting trapped in the plastic trays.

What happens if I lose an aligner?

If you lose a clear plastic tray or if one has become damaged, contact our office right away. We will help you decide whether to move on to the next set or order a replacement.
