UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set in the series.

The aligners are made from SmartTrack material — a patented thermoplastic that's BPA-free, comfortable against your gums, and nearly invisible when worn. Most people won't even notice you're wearing them, which is why Invisalign has become the preferred choice for adults and teens who want straighter teeth without the look of traditional braces.

Invisalign can treat a wide range of alignment issues including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. While severe cases may still require traditional braces, the technology has advanced significantly and can now handle most cases that would have required brackets and wires in the past.

One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. You take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss — meaning no dietary restrictions, easier oral hygiene, and a more comfortable experience overall.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Invisalign® FAQ

Have more questions? Call us or book a free consultation.

Most adult Invisalign treatments take 6–18 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Simple spacing issues may take as little as 6 months, while more complex alignment issues may take 12–18 months.

You may feel mild pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners, which is a sign your teeth are moving. Most patients describe it as 'tightness' rather than pain, and it subsides within a day or two.

No — you should remove your aligners to eat and drink anything other than water. This is actually an advantage because it means no food restrictions. Just brush before putting them back in.

For best results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day. Remove them only for eating, drinking (anything besides water), brushing, and flossing.

For most mild to moderate orthodontic cases, Invisalign is equally effective. For severe malocclusions or complex tooth movements, traditional braces may be more effective. Your dentist can evaluate which option is best for your specific case.

Many PPO plans cover Invisalign the same as traditional braces. We verify your benefits and maximize your coverage. Financing options are also available.
