With Invisalign® clear aligners, your treatment is tailored to you. Innovative technology combines with a personalized treatment plan to make custom clear aligners for creating your new smile.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Each aligner is custom-designed to fit comfortably and apply gentle pressure that moves your teeth incrementally over time. Because the aligners are made from transparent plastic, they’re virtually invisible when worn, allowing you to enjoy a more discreet orthodontic experience.

How Invisalign® Works

Invisalign® treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which we use to create a 3D model of your unique alignment plan. This digital model allows us to map out the exact movements your teeth will make at each stage. Here’s how the process works:

  1. Custom Aligners: You’ll receive a series of custom aligners, each worn for about two weeks before switching to the next set. Each aligner is designed to move your teeth slightly closer to the end goal.
  2. Gradual Shifts: The aligners apply gentle, controlled force to guide teeth into alignment gradually. As you progress through each set, your teeth will shift closer to their ideal positions.
  3. Regular Check-Ins: Periodic check-ups at Signature Dental Care allow us to monitor your progress and make adjustments if needed. The length of treatment varies, but most cases take between 6 to 18 months, depending on individual needs.

Benefits of Invisalign®

Invisalign® comes with a variety of benefits, making it an appealing option for many patients:

  • Nearly Invisible: The clear aligners are subtle, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment.
  • Removable: You can remove Invisalign® aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it easy to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
  • Comfortable: Unlike metal braces, Invisalign® aligners have smooth edges that reduce the risk of irritation to the gums and cheeks.
  • Fewer Restrictions: Since the aligners are removable, you can enjoy all of your favorite foods without the limitations of traditional braces.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an effective solution for a range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Overbites
  • Underbites
  • Crossbites

During your consultation at Signature Dental Care, we’ll evaluate your specific needs to determine if Invisalign® is right for you.

What to Expect During Invisalign® Treatment

At Signature Dental Care, we strive to make your Invisalign® experience smooth and rewarding. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Initial Consultation: We’ll assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and explain how Invisalign® can work for you.
  2. Digital Impressions: Using advanced scanning technology, we create a digital model of your teeth to design your customized aligners.
  3. Receiving Your Aligners: You’ll receive a series of aligners, along with instructions on how to wear and care for them.
  4. Progress Appointments: Regular visits allow us to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track.

Maintaining Your Invisalign® Aligners

Proper care is essential for effective treatment and to keep your aligners clear and odor-free. Here are a few tips:

  • Clean Regularly: Rinse and brush your aligners daily with a soft brush to prevent plaque buildup.
  • Remove for Eating: Take your aligners out when eating or drinking anything besides water to avoid staining and damage.
  • Keep Aligner Cases Handy: Always store your aligners in their case when not in use to protect them from damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

I want to straighten my teeth but I don't want metal braces. What are the alternatives?

+

There are many options for patients who want to avoid metal braces! The most popular alternative orthodontic treatment is Invisalign®, which are clear plastic aligners designed to straighten teeth. After an examination of your teeth, your dentist will determine which option is best suited to your wants and needs.

Is Invisalign® expensive?

+

According to the Invisalign® website, the cost for treatment is approximately the same as the cost for metal braces. A portion of this cost may be covered by your insurance. Please call us to set up a consultation and discuss potential payment plan options.

How does Invisalign® work?

+

The first step is to schedule a consultation with your doctor, so they can devise a treatment plan that is best suited to your individual dental needs. Once approved, you will receive your first set of aligners. Your doctor will then regularly monitor the movement of your teeth and new aligners will be ordered according to the progress made in your treatment plan.

What is Invisalign® made of?

+

Invisalign® aligners are made of clear, flexible plastic. The company received a patent for this material – SmartTrack® – to be used exclusively for Invisalign treatment purposes. These aligners are FDA approved and nearly invisible!

How long does Invisalign® treatment take?

+

Your doctor will give you an estimate regarding how long your Invisalign® treatment should take, which will depend on your specific needs. The average length of time for treatment is approximately 12-18 months. However, some patients may see results far sooner. Remember to wear your aligners exactly as instructed by your doctor to obtain the best results.

Are Invisalign® results permanent?

+

Your doctor will most likely recommend that you wear retainers following your Invisalign® treatment. This is a precaution that will prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positioning. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions exactly to ensure long-lasting results.

How often must I wear my aligners?

+

You must wear your aligners for up to 22 hours daily. You may remove them for eating, drinking and regular oral hygiene.

Are there any restrictions to what I can eat while in treatment?

+

No. Unlike braces, you may eat whatever you like as long as you remove the aligners before eating. Prior to placing the aligners back on, it is important to brush your teeth and the aligners after you eat.

Will wearing the aligners affect my speech?

+

Like any orthodontic treatment, there is a short adjustment period. The more you speak with the aligners on, the quicker you will adjust.

Is there any discomfort with Invisalign® treatment?

+

There will be some pressure and minor discomfort for a day or two after each initial insertion. This is a sign that your teeth are moving sequentially into their final position.

Can I chew gum?

+

It is recommended that you remove your aligners prior to chewing gum as the gum will stick to the aligners.

Can I smoke with the aligners in?

+

We discourage smoking with aligners as the cigarette smoke will tend to discolor them.

How do I keep my aligners clean?

+

Brushing them with toothpaste will keep them fresh and clean.

How often do I see an orthodontist while wearing Invisalign®

+

Regular office visits are every five to six weeks. This will ensure that your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.

What happens after my treatment is complete? Do I need retainers?

+

All orthodontic patients are instructed to wear their retainers at night indefinitely. Sleeping with your retainers in at night will ensure a healthy bite and maintain the new position of your teeth.

Does Invisalign work for kids?

+

Yes, if their teeth, including second molars, have grown in completely.
