What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an advanced orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are virtually invisible and do not use metal brackets or wires. They are specifically designed to fit comfortably over your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position throughout the treatment.

How Does Invisalign® Work?

Invisalign® treatment involves multiple sets of custom aligners designed to fit snugly over your teeth. First, we create a detailed mold or digital scan of your teeth, which is then sent to the lab. Based on this mold, a series of aligners are crafted to guide your teeth into their ideal alignment.

You will wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks, and each new set will continue to gradually move your teeth. By the end of the treatment, your final set of aligners will have straightened your teeth to their desired position.

How to Care for My Invisalign® Trays

Caring for your Invisalign trays is essential to ensure effective treatment and maintain good oral hygiene. Make sure to:

  • Clean Your Trays Regularly: Remove your aligners and rinse them every time you eat. Use a soft toothbrush and mild soap to clean them thoroughly at least once a day.
  • Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Always remember to remove your clear aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This will prevent them from staining and maintain their transparency.
  • Store Properly: Always place your aligners in their protective case when they aren’t in use to avoid losing or damaging them.

What Happens After Invisalign® Treatment?

Once you complete your treatment, we will provide you with a custom retainer to help maintain your straightened teeth. It is essential to wear your retainer as directed by your dentist to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position. Retainers are key to ensuring the long-term success of your Invisalign® results.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

One of the reasons patients love Invisalign®  is the comfort and efficiency of the treatment. While traditional metal braces can take up to three years to achieve desired results, the aligners typically complete the process in just 12 to 18 months. Even better, many patients begin to notice visible improvements after just a few weeks of wearing their aligners.

This quick transformation, combined with the discreet nature of the treatment, makes Invisalign® an appealing choice for both teens and adults.
