How does Invisalign work?
We will take impressions of your teeth that will be used to create your first set of clear aligners. Our office also uses smile preview software, which allows you to see what your smile will look like at the end of your treatment. Once we receive your first set of clear aligners, we will have you come in to try on the first pair and take them home. You will need to switch to the next aligner in the series every two weeks and wear each aligner for at least 20 to 22 hours per day for your treatment plan to stay on track.
What are the benefits of clear aligner therapy?
Invisalign used to be reserved for patients who had mild orthodontic issues, but over the years, Invisalign’s technology has developed and expanded to include patients who have more advanced orthodontic problems. Other benefits of Invisalign include:
- Clear and Discreet
- Easy to Remove and Clean
- Comfortable to Wear
- No Food or Activity Restrictions
- Quick and Efficient Treatment Plans
Is Invisalign affordable?
Invisalign is more affordable than ever! In fact, most Invisalign treatment plans are comparable to traditional metal braces. Some insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for Invisalign, so we recommend checking with your provider for more details. Our office also accepts CareCredit® financing, which can break up the cost of Invisalign and other dental services into manageable monthly payments.

How do you take care of Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners should be rinsed with lukewarm water each time you remove them and gently cleaned with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, and store them in their protective case when not in use. Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for successful treatment!
What should I do if I lose or break a clear aligner?
If you lose or break an aligner, contact our office as soon as possible. Depending on your treatment stage, we may advise you to wear your previous aligner or move to the next one temporarily. Prompt communication helps prevent treatment delays and keeps your teeth moving according to plan.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally not painful, but you may experience mild pressure or soreness when switching to a new set of aligners. This is a normal sign that your teeth are moving. Any discomfort is typically temporary and subsides within a few days. Our team is always available to address concerns and ensure your treatment remains comfortable.
Who is a candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is ideal for teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or certain bite concerns. Candidates should have healthy teeth and gums and be responsible and committed to wearing aligners as directed. During your consultation, we will evaluate your smile to determine if Invisalign is the right orthodontic solution for you.
