What Are Invisalign Aligners?

Invisalign clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth gradually. They work by applying gentle pressure to your teeth, moving them into their desired positions. Our aligners are made from a clear, flexible plastic material, making them nearly invisible and offering an alternative to traditional metal braces.

Clear aligners offer many benefits beyond aligning your smile. They are virtually invisible, allowing for a discreet treatment option compared to traditional braces. Our aligners are also removable, making it easy to maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing normally and allowing you to eat without restrictions.

What Do Invisalign Clear Aligners Treat?

Our office recognizes clear aligners as an effective way to straighten your teeth. We will work with you to develop a treatment plan, allowing you to achieve a healthier, better-aligned smile. Our dentist has the skill to treat mild to moderate cases of:

Crowding: If your teeth overlap due to a lack of space, our clear aligners can gradually move them into better alignment.
Spacing: Gaps between teeth can be closed using aligners, leading to a more uniform smile.
Overbites: Our clear aligners can help adjust the alignment of your upper teeth so they fit more naturally over your lower teeth.
Underbites: Our aligners can improve the bite and overall function by repositioning the lower teeth.
Crossbites: We use clear aligners to correct misalignment where some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, preventing uneven wear and improving appearance.

Our Kensington Invisible Braces Process

We'll schedule you a comprehensive consultation with our dentist to begin your Invisalign treatment journey. During this visit, we will assess your oral health and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan. Impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to a specialized lab, where your clear aligners will be made.

Once your aligners are ready, you'll return to our office to collect several weeks of aligners and receive detailed instructions on how to wear and care for them. Each set of aligners should typically be worn for about two weeks and removed only when eating or drinking. You'll return to our office every 6-8 weeks throughout your treatment to receive your next set of aligners and for our dentist to monitor your progress. After completing your treatment plan, you'll maintain your newly aligned smile by wearing a Vivera® retainer, giving you a lasting, straight smile.

Invisalign Aligner FAQs

We understand you may have questions about Invisalign aligners. Our knowledgeable team is here to provide answers and guidance throughout your treatment. Common questions regarding clear aligners include:

How long does Invisalign treatment typically take?

Our dentist can typically complete your Invisalign treatment within 6-18 months. However, the exact duration can vary based on factors such as your case's complexity, specific treatment goals, and how consistently you wear your aligners. Following our dentist's recommendations closely is important to achieve the best results within the estimated timeframe.

How often should I wear my aligners?

You should wear your Invisalign aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours daily. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Following these guidelines as directed by our dentist is important for the effectiveness of your treatment.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?

To clean your Invisalign aligners, start by rinsing them with lukewarm water whenever you remove them to prevent the buildup of dry saliva and plaque. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap to gently brush the aligners, avoiding toothpaste as it can be abrasive.
