How Does Invisalign Work?

The Invisalign system uses a series of clear aligners to straighten your teeth. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Then, it will be replaced with another set of aligners. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth are gradually moving to their final position.

What are the Advantages of Invisalign?

• Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re wearing clear aligners
• Very comfortable: Invisalign clear aligners are smooth plastic, no metal or wires to deal with
• Faster treatment: total treatment time can vary between 9 to 18 months
• Customized just for you: Uses 3D imaging technology to create a treatment plan just for you — which means a better fit
• Removable: You can continue to eat and drink what you want and brush and floss like normal
• Convenient: Invisalign clear aligner fit into your busy lifestyle; you typically only need to come to our office every 6 to 8 weeks
• Covered by insurance: most dental insurance plans cover Invisalign the same way they cover traditional braces
• Proven results: blue indicator dots monitor tooth movement

Invisalign vs Braces

Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, making this form of treatment to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others. The Invisalign aligners are removable so you can keep enjoying the sports you love and eating the popcorn and pizza you crave unlike with metal braces. Additionally, Invisalign doesn’t use wires or metal bracks that may cause irritation in your mouth. And unlike braces, Invisalign doesn’t require occasional tightening so you don’t have to deal with any pain and soreness.

Because every patient requires different needs, we recommend you contact us for clarification. We’ll schedule a consultation, examine you, and help you determine which is a better route for your individual case.

How Long Does it Take to Straighten Your Teeth with Invisalign?

On average, patients who use Invisalign for their orthodontic treatment see results after about 15 months wearing about 18 to 30 aligners during their entire treatment. However, treatment times will vary based on every patient’s needs.

How Painful is Invisalign?

Some patients who use Invisalign for their orthodontic treatment report experiencing some discomfort and pain as their teeth shift but it can be easily controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers and a cold compress.
