What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign is a system of clear, removable aligners designed to straighten teeth. Each set of aligners gently shifts your teeth into place based on a custom treatment plan. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks until your smile is aligned.

What is the process for getting Invisalign?

The process starts with a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Your dentist will take x-rays, photos, and impressions to create a 3D digital model of your teeth. From there, a personalized treatment plan is made, and custom aligners are created just for you.

How is Invisalign different from traditional braces?

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are clear, smooth, and removable. This means you can eat the foods you love, brush and floss as normal, and avoid irritation from brackets and wires. They also require fewer dental visits (about every 6 weeks).

How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?

Treatment time varies depending on your individual case. Most patients switch aligners every two weeks and see their dentist every six weeks. The duration depends on the complexity of your tooth movement, but your dentist can give you an estimate after your consultation.

Will people notice if I’m wearing Invisalign?

Most people won’t even realize you’re wearing aligners because they are made of clear, BPA-free plastic and fit snugly over your teeth.
