What Is Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment known for its clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Invisalign offers a more discreet and comfortable approach to achieving a confident smile.
Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners made from a strong, medical grade plastic called SmartTrack. These custom designed aligners gently shift your teeth into their desired positions over time. A series of progressively aligned trays are worn for approximately two weeks each, with each new aligner nudging your teeth closer to their final alignment.
Invisalign Before & After
Advantage
- Clear and Discreet: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who are self-conscious about their smiles during treatment.
- Removable for Eating and Brushing: The ability to remove the aligners for eating and brushing, making it easier to keep your teeth and mouth clean.
- More Comfortable: Invisalign uses gentle pressure to move teeth, avoiding the discomfort associated with tightening wires and brackets in traditional braces.

- Potential for Faster Treatment Time: In some cases, Invisalign teeth treatment can be faster than traditional braces, particularly for minor to moderate misalignment.
Disadvantage
- Discipline Required: Successful Invisalign treatment relies on wearing the aligners for the prescribed amount of time each day. Patients who have difficulty maintaining consistent wear time might not achieve the desired results.
- Not Suitable for All Cases: As mentioned earlier, Invisalign may not be effective for severe misalignment issues.

Time Frame for Invisalign Treatment
The treatment time for Invisalign varies depending on the severity of your misalignment and the complexity of your case. Generally, Invisalign teeth treatment can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Your dentist or orthodontist will provide a more specific timeline during your consultation.
Other Information

- Wearing and Maintaining Aligners: You will typically receive a series of aligner trays to wear for approximately 2 weeks each. It’s necessary to wear them for recommended for 20-22 hours a day to ensure optimal results. Regular cleaning of the aligners is also important to maintain proper hygiene.
- Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your dentist or orthodontist throughout your treatment to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.
- Retention: After completing Invisalign treatment, a retainer is often recommended to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
