You’ve likely heard about Invisalign® and the incredible results patients achieve, but what exactly is it?
Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gently and gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. At Dentistry for Children, we design each treatment plan specifically for your smile. Even patients with moderate to severe alignment concerns can often see noticeable improvements in just a few months.
Once our Pediatric Dentists decide that Invisalign® is right for you, we’ll capture detailed 3D digital images of your teeth, no messy impressions required. These images are used to create a series of custom aligners designed specifically for your smile.
You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Every 1 to 2 weeks, you’ll switch to the next set of aligners in your series as your teeth gradually shift into place. Most patients achieve their desired results within 9–12 months, significantly faster than traditional braces in many cases.
Invisalign® offers numerous advantages over traditional braces. Here are just a few reasons patients love this treatment:
Maintaining good oral hygiene is easier with Invisalign® than with traditional braces. Because the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth as usual without dealing with brackets and wires. This means there is less risk of developing cavities or gum disease during treatment.
With traditional braces, you need to visit your orthodontist every 2-4 weeks to adjust your braces. This can be time-consuming, especially if you have a busy schedule. With Invisalign®, however, you typically only need to come in every 8 weeks on average to check your progress and receive your next set of aligners.
The aligners are clear and virtually invisible, making them ideal for working professionals and older teens who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention.
Enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. Simply remove your aligners when eating or drinking. They can also be removed for special events, presentations, or photos. Just remember to wear them at least 22 hours per day for the best results.
Each aligner is custom-made for your teeth, providing a smooth, comfortable fit without metal brackets or wires.
Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets or wires that can break or require emergency repairs.
Invisalign® treatment is often completed faster and typically requires fewer repair visits, resulting in saving time and money over the course of care.
Traditional braces often take two or more years to complete. Invisalign® patients commonly reach their smile goals in about 12 months.
Invisalign® can address many of the same orthodontic concerns as traditional braces, including:
During your free consultation, our team will determine if Invisalign® is the right option for you. This treatment is especially popular among adults and older teens seeking a nearly invisible orthodontic solution.
Because Invisalign® aligners are removable and must be worn consistently for 22 hours per day, this treatment requires responsibility and commitment. For this reason, it is generally not recommended for patients under 16 years old.
