What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth without metal brackets or wires. Each aligner is a thin, smooth, transparent tray made to fit your teeth. You wear one set, then move to the next. Each new set gently shifts your teeth a little closer to the planned final position.
Because the trays are clear and removable, most people find Invisalign much less noticeable than traditional braces. You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, which makes everyday life easier during treatment.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign treatment follows a simple, step-by-step path.
1. Book an Invisalign Consultation
A dentist will look at your teeth, gums, and bite and ask what you would like to change. This is the best time to ask about how long Invisalign takes, what it costs, and how many hours a day you will need to wear your trays.
2. Get a Custom Treatment Plan
If Invisalign is right for you, your dentist will plan how your teeth need to move. Digital imaging or scanning may be used to help map out your treatment. Every smile is different, so your plan is built around your starting position, your bite, and your goals.
3. Wear Your Aligners as Directed
You will receive a series of aligners to wear in order. For Invisalign to work, you need to wear them consistently, following your dentist’s instructions. You will take them out to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to clean your teeth.
4. Attend Progress Checkups
You will have regular checkups so your dentist can monitor how your teeth are moving and make sure your aligners are fitting as expected. Your dentist will let you know how often to come in and when to move to your next set of trays. The schedule depends on your treatment plan and progress.
5. Keep your new smile with a retainer
When your active treatment is done, you will need a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions. Teeth can drift back over time, so wearing your retainer as directed is how you protect your results.
What Can Invisalign Fix?
Invisalign can improve many common alignment problems, depending on how complex your case is.
- Crowded Teeth: Teeth that overlap or do not have enough room.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Spaces between one or more teeth.
- Crooked or Rotated Teeth: Teeth that sit at an angle or are turned.
- Some Bite Problems: Certain mild to moderate bite concerns, such as some overbites, underbites, and crossbites, may be treated with Invisalign depending on their cause and severity.
More complex tooth movements or significant bite problems may be better treated with traditional braces or another option. If that is the case for you, we will tell you and explain your options.
Is Invisalign Right for Me?
Invisalign works well for many teens and adults. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth
- Want a removable, discreet alternative to metal braces
- Are ready to wear your aligners as directed
- Have healthy teeth and gums, or are willing to treat any dental problems before starting
Your dentist will also look at your gum health, existing dental work, and bite before recommending treatment. Because you can remove the trays yourself, success depends on wearing them for the amount of time your dentist tells you. Call (623) 533-5699 to schedule a consultation.
Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners
Patients often choose clear aligners because they offer a different experience from traditional braces.
- Discreet Appearance: The transparent trays are designed to be less noticeable than metal brackets and wires.
- Removable for Meals and Cleaning: You can take your aligners out to eat, which means you do not have to avoid foods that might damage braces.
- Smooth, Custom Fit: You may notice pressure or temporary soreness when switching to a new set, but many patients appreciate the absence of traditional brackets and wires.
- Treatment Plan Built Around Your Smile: Your aligner series is planned around your teeth and the movements needed to reach your treatment goals.
