Invisalign is a wonderfully effective orthodontic treatment that provides straighter teeth to patients who need them. While traditional braces rely on bulky and uncomfortable metal wires and brackets, Invisalign can provide results through comfortable aligners. Patients who comply with this treatment system have provided very positive feedback about this effective treatment. Invisalign has proven to be effective for both teens and adults.
Why Should You Choose Invisalign?
When you compare Invisalign to traditional orthodontics, it quickly becomes evident how many unique and incredible benefits Invisalign offers over metal braces. The aligners used throughout the Invisalign treatment are easily removable, clear, and comfortable. When patients need to eat or drink, they can merely remove their clear aligners. That allows them to eat whatever they want instead of the restrictive diet necessary when wearing metallic braces. Brushing and flossing are so much easier too, which facilitates good oral health throughout the treatment. Patients do not need to worry about food particles becoming stuck as they would with braces since you can remove the aligners before eating. These food particles could become trapped in metal braces causing cavities. Since Invisalign trays do not utilize any metal, they are incredibly comfortable and easily worn. Patients will need to visit the dentist far fewer times since adjustments are not necessary. And our virtual treatment plan makes it very easy for patients to visualize final results.

How Does Invisalign Work?
Patients are given a series of numbered aligner trays, each to be worn for two weeks before changing to the next aligner in the series. Each week the teeth will gradually move toward their final positions. You will visit Dr. Raichada and her associates every six weeks to ensure that treatment proceeds as expected. Most will have a new smile in about one year. The number of trays in the series varies for each patient as each dental situation is unique.

What are the key benefits of choosing Invisalign over traditional braces?
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is its discreet appearance. The clear aligners are almost unnoticeable, making them perfect for adults and teens who want a subtle treatment option. They are also removable, allowing you to eat freely and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine with ease.
How long does Invisalign treatment typically take to complete?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, most Invisalign treatments are completed within 12-18 months. Staying consistent with wearing your aligners as directed plays a major role in achieving timely and successful results.
Are Invisalign aligners visible when worn?
Invisalign aligners are designed to be as discreet as possible. Made from clear, smooth plastic, they fit snugly over your teeth and are difficult to notice in everyday conversations. Most people will not realize you are wearing them unless you point it out.
How often do I need to wear Invisalign aligners each day?
To achieve optimal results, aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours daily. They should only be removed when eating, drinking anything other than water, and during brushing and flossing. Consistent wear is key to keeping your treatment on track.
Can I remove Invisalign aligners to eat and drink?
Yes, one of the major conveniences of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. You can take them out to enjoy your meals without restrictions. Just be sure to clean your teeth before putting them back in to maintain good oral hygiene and keep your aligners clear.
