What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. These aligners are nearly invisible, making them an excellent option for adults and teens who want a discreet way to straighten their teeth.

Benefits of Invisalign:

  • Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
  • Comfortable Fit: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, reducing the risk of irritation to your gums and cheeks.
  • Removable: You can remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
  • No Dietary Restrictions: Unlike traditional braces, you can eat whatever you like without worrying about damaging your aligners.
  • Predictable Results: Invisalign treatment is planned using advanced 3D imaging technology, allowing you to see your expected results before starting treatment.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

At Anthony Leite, DDS, we follow a comprehensive Invisalign treatment process to ensure you achieve the best possible results. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will discuss your smile goals, examine your teeth, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
  2. 3D Imaging and Treatment Planning: We use advanced 3D imaging technology to create a digital model of your teeth and design a customized treatment plan. This allows you to see a preview of your new smile before starting treatment.
  3. Custom Aligners: Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom-made aligners will be created for you. Each set of aligners is designed to move your teeth gradually and comfortably.
  4. Wearing Your Aligners: You will wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you progress through the series, your teeth will gradually shift into their desired position.
  5. Regular Check-Ups: We will schedule regular check-ups to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track. Adjustments to your treatment plan can be made as needed.
  6. Final Results: Once you have completed your series of aligners, you will receive retainers to help maintain your new smile.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

  • Mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues
  • Minor bite issues such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
  • A desire for a more discreet orthodontic treatment option
  • Good overall oral health and no severe dental issues

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies based on the complexity of the case and the specific alignment issues being addressed. On average, treatment takes 6-12 months. During your consultation, we will provide a more accurate timeline based on your personalized treatment plan.

How Often Should I Wear My Invisalign Aligners?

For optimal results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

How Do I Care for My Invisalign Aligners?

To care for your Invisalign aligners:

  • Clean them daily with a soft toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap or Invisalign cleaning crystals.
  • Avoid using hot water, which can warp the plastic.
  • Store your aligners in their protective case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
