    Check-Ins

    Every 4-6 weeks, you will have a check-in to review your progress and pick up your next set of clear aligners.  You will wear each set of clear aligners for 1-2 weeks.  Invisalign treatment times vary, with most lasting 6-8 months.  Treatments can be completed in as little as 2-3 months.

    Transformation

    You will wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours per day for optimal results. Take them out while eating, and brush your teeth before placing them back in your mouth. Keep living your inspired life and your teeth will transform without anyone even noticing you had aligners!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What is Invisalign and how does it work?
    Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth gradually without braces. It works by using a series of custom aligners, each one slightly adjusted to make small, controlled movements to your teeth and underlying bone. After treatment, a nighttime retainer is worn to help maintain your results and prevent shifting.
    2. How long do you wear Invisalign?
    It’s recommended that you wear your Invisalign clear aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day. You should only remove your trays for things like eating, brushing your teeth, and flossing. It is necessary to wear them for this long so that the treatment can be as effective as possible.
    3. Is Invisalign better than braces?
    There are many notable benefits that Invisalign has over braces. It is clear, meaning it is less visible to other people than if you have braces on. It is also significantly more comfortable because Invisalign is made with a smooth plastic material, unlike braces that can have uncomfortable wires or metal pieces that can cause discomfort. Invisalign also has the advantage of being completely removable which makes oral hygiene more accessible as well as eating any foods you want. With that said, certain more complicated dental cases can only be treated using braces. A Dentist can complete a consultation with you to see what treatment would be the best fit for you.
    4. How long does Invisalign treatment take?
    Invisalign treatment times vary depending on your individual needs, with most treatments lasting between 6 and 8 months. Less complex cases can be completed in 2 to 3 months. Your dentist will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
    5. Does Invisalign hurt?

    Invisalign can cause mild discomfort or pressure, especially when switching to a new set of aligners, but it usually fades within a few days. This sensation indicates that the aligners are working and moving your teeth as planned. Most patients report Invisalign to be more comfortable than traditional braces.
