What Is Invisalign, and How Does It Work?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made plastic trays designed specifically for your smile. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners do not use brackets or wires. Instead, each aligner applies gentle, controlled pressure to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions.
Since Invisalign aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat, brush and floss. This flexibility makes Invisalign a popular treatment option for teens and adults looking for a more discreet orthodontic experience without lifestyle changes. To keep treatment on track, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day.
Why Patients Love Getting Invisalign
A straighter smile can improve more than just your confidence. Properly aligned teeth are often easier to clean, which can support better oral health and reduce the risk of issues associated with crowded or misaligned teeth. During your consultation, one of our orthodontists will evaluate your smile and discuss whether Invisalign is the right option for your needs and goals.
Patients choose Invisalign for many reasons, including:
- Virtually invisible aligners that blend seamlessly with your smile
- Removable trays that allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without as many restrictions
- Easier brushing and flossing compared to braces
- Smooth, comfortable aligners with no brackets or wires
- Fewer interruptions to work, school and social activities
- Convenient virtual care that allows for added flexibility throughout treatment
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign can effectively treat many common orthodontic concerns, making it a popular option for both teens and adults. Clear aligners may be recommended for patients with:
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
While Invisalign is a versatile treatment option, it may not be the best solution for every smile. The best way to determine whether clear aligners are right for you is through a consultation with an experienced orthodontist.
The Invisalign Treatment Process at Dhingra Orthodontics
At Dhingra Orthodontics, we make the Invisalign process as straightforward and convenient as possible. From your first consultation to your final retainer, our team will guide you through every step of your smile transformation.
Initial Invisalign Consultation
Your Invisalign journey begins with a complimentary consultation. During this first appointment, one of our doctors will evaluate your smile, discuss your goals and determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment option for your needs. We also offer virtual care options for patients who prefer to start the process from home.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Using advanced iTero digital scanning technology, we create a precise 3D model of your teeth without messy impressions. These digital scans allow us to develop a customized Invisalign treatment plan that maps out your tooth movement and provides a clear roadmap for your smile journey.
Wearing and Caring For Aligners
Once your aligners arrive, you’ll wear them for 20 to 22 hours each day and switch to a new set approximately every one to two weeks as directed by your orthodontist. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can continue enjoying your favorite foods while maintaining your normal brushing and flossing routine. Our team will provide guidance on proper aligner care to help keep your treatment on track!
Final Stages and Retention
As you near the end of treatment, we’ll carefully monitor your progress to ensure your smile is developing as planned. After completing Invisalign treatment, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile and prevent your teeth from shifting over time. Retention is an important part of protecting your investment and preserving your results for years to come.
Braces as an Invisalign Alternative
While Invisalign is an excellent option for many patients, it is not the right solution for every smile. Depending on the complexity of your orthodontic needs, lifestyle and treatment goals, braces may be a more effective choice.
At Dhingra Orthodontics, we offer both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces to help patients achieve healthy, confident smiles. Braces are fixed to your teeth, which means you don’t have to remember to remove or replace aligners throughout the day. They can also be a great option for patients with more complex orthodontic concerns or those who prefer a treatment that doesn’t rely on daily compliance.
