What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work To Straighten Teeth?

Invisalign is a modern clear aligner system designed to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably. Unlike braces, Invisalign is a removable orthodontic option that provides patients with enhanced comfort and flexibility with their treatment.

The Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Aligner trays are made from BPA-free plastic that gradually shift your teeth into the right positions. Thanks to advanced imaging technology, we’re able to predict the movement of your teeth from beginning to end with outstanding precision. Here’s how the process works:

  • Your journey starts with a 3D digital scan at our office.
  • We develop a personalized treatment plan based on your smile goals.
  • You’ll wear each set of aligners for 20–22 hours a day, changing them out every 1–2 weeks.
  • While in treatment, you’ll be able to easily remove your invisible aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing.
This flexibility and convenience make Invisalign a favorite for busy adults, teens, and kids!

Invisalign vs. Braces: Which Is Right for You?

Both Invisalign and traditional braces are effective ways to straighten teeth, but they work differently and come with their own benefits.

Invisalign

  • Appearance: Nearly invisible
  • Removability: Yes, for eating and dental hygiene
  • Diet Restrictions None
  • Maintenance: Aligners are cleaned with special solutions and should be kept in a case when not worn
  • Customization: Not needed

Braces

  • Appearance: Visible metal, clear ceramic, or gold brackets with archwires
  • Removability: No
  • Diet Restrictions Yes, avoid sticky, hard foods
  • Maintenance: Cleaning is needed around the brackets in addition to regular brushing. Interdental brushes or water flossers can be used to clean in between teeth
  • Customization: Custom rubberband colors are available

How to Get the Best Results with Invisalign

To get the most out of your Invisalign treatment, follow these tips:
  • Wear your aligners 20–22 hours per day. Consistency is key!
  • Remove aligners only when eating or drinking (except when drinking water).
  • Keep your aligners clean by rinsing and brushing them daily.
  • Attend all check-ins so we can track your progress and make adjustments.
  • Follow your orthodontist’s instructions closely to avoid delays in treatment.
Sticking to your treatment plan means you’ll enjoy faster, more effective results and a smoother treatment experience.
