What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a highly popular way to receive orthodontic treatment without using highly visible braces. Instead, the treatment uses interchangeable sets of transparent trays that you wear over your teeth. While the trays are on, they gradually move your teeth into an ideal position while also remaining invisible. Patients tend to choose this treatment option over braces because it allows for a more subtle treatment with a range of other benefits, including:

Invisalign retainers can be removed at any time to allow you to eat and clean your teeth easily (though you should keep them in at all other times).
Transparent aligners make them hard to detect compared to highly visible metal braces
Improved comfort overall throughout the treatment compared to braces
Less hassle than braces (easy cleaning, removable, no diet restrictions)

What Is the Process Like for Invisalign?

The process of getting Invisalign treatment is quite straightforward and convenient. We start with an examination of your teeth and seeing if this treatment will be able to get your teeth into their ideal positions. If you are indeed a candidate, we can start by taking impressions of your teeth and manufacturing your first set of Invisalign trays.

Once your trays are ready, you can come in to try them and make sure that they fit properly. In the coming weeks, it will be important to wear these trays for at least 22 hours each day, taking them out only to clean your teeth or during meals. The longer you keep them in each day, the sooner you will get to see your results.

Every couple weeks, you will receive a new set of retainers, gradually changing as your teeth move closer to their final positions. With each new set of trays, you simply wear them instead of your previous ones.

How Long Does It Take?

From start to finish, many patients will be able to complete their Invisalign treatment within a year if all the treatment instructions are followed. However, this number can vary significantly and depends on your unique situation. Some patients may need as few as six months to get their results, while others may need two years or more. It depends on factors such as your teeth position, age, health, and how long you keep your retainers in each day.

More and more patients are turning to Invisalign to give their smiles a boost. The good news is that the treatment is open to a wide age range of patients, helping both teens and adults get their teeth into better shape. Most patients will be able to be candidates for Invisalign, but those with more severe tooth alignment concerns may need traditional braces.

Based on your exam, we can discuss your treatment options and lay out a general timeline of what you can expect with your orthodontic options.
