Invisalign® clear aligners offer a modern approach to orthodontic treatment, allowing you to achieve a straighter smile without the need for metal brackets or wires. Instead of traditional braces, Invisalign orthodontics utilizes a series of custom-made, removable aligners that gently and gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Designed for both effectiveness and comfort, this treatment is an excellent option for those who want a more discreet way to enhance their smile.
How Invisalign Treatment Works
Invisalign aligners are crafted from smooth, clear plastic, making them nearly invisible when worn. The treatment process involves wearing each set of aligners for about two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. Every aligner is designed to make small, precise adjustments to your teeth, gradually moving them into proper alignment. You will visit Comfort Dental Center periodically throughout your treatment to ensure your progress is on track and to receive your next set of aligners.
What Invisalign Clear Aligners Can Treat
Invisalign treatment can address a variety of orthodontic concerns, similar to traditional braces. This includes:
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps and spaces between teeth
- Bite issues, such as overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites
During your initial consultation, our experienced dentists will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign is the best treatment for your needs.
Benefits of Invisalign Treatment
One of the key advantages of Invisalign is its discreet appearance. The clear aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable look of metal braces. Additionally, they are custom-fitted for comfort and designed to be removed easily, allowing you to eat, brush and floss without restrictions. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners do not require adjustments or tightening, making your orthodontic experience more convenient and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Clear Aligners
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
Invisalign clear aligners are designed for comfort, but you may experience slight pressure when switching to a new set. This is a sign that your teeth are shifting properly. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation, making Invisalign aligners a more comfortable orthodontic option.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies based on the complexity of your case. Most patients complete Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months, though some see results sooner. Compliance is key — wearing your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours per day ensures steady progress and helps you achieve the best possible outcome.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners on?
It is recommended that you remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners. Since they are removable, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions, as long as you brush your teeth before reinserting them.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
To keep your aligners clear and odor-free, rinse them with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Invisalign cleaning crystals or mild soap can also help maintain their clarity and prevent bacteria buildup.
