What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into better alignment. Unlike traditional braces that use metal wires and brackets, Invisalign trays are made from smooth, nearly invisible plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. They work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to specific areas of your mouth, encouraging movement over time.
Each set of aligners is custom-designed using 3D digital scans of your mouth, ensuring a perfect fit and highly personalized treatment. Because the trays are removable, you can continue eating your favorite foods and maintaining your regular brushing and flossing habits with ease. Invisalign offers a modern solution that’s both effective and discreet, helping you achieve a straighter smile without the drawbacks of traditional braces.
Why Choose Invisalign®?
Invisalign is popular with teens and adults alike because it fits seamlessly into busy lives. Whether you’re a working professional, a college student, or a parent constantly on the move, Invisalign offers freedom and flexibility that traditional orthodontics simply can’t match. You won’t need to avoid sticky or crunchy foods, nor will you have to adjust your oral hygiene routine around wires and brackets.
Beyond convenience, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic that’s comfortable to wear. There’s no metal to irritate the inside of your cheeks or cause cuts. Fewer in-office visits are needed, too—most check-ups are quick progress checks to ensure your teeth are moving according to plan. For many patients, the confidence of having an orthodontic treatment that doesn’t show in photos, meetings, or social events is reason enough to choose Invisalign.
The Invisalign® Process
Your journey with Invisalign begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll use digital scanning technology to capture precise 3D images of your teeth—no messy impressions required. From there, we’ll create a custom treatment plan that outlines how your teeth will move over time and how long treatment will likely take. You’ll even get a digital preview of your future smile.
Once your aligners arrive, you’ll wear each set for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next. Each aligner is slightly different, nudging your teeth into better alignment step by step. For optimal results, you’ll need to wear your trays for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss. Throughout your treatment, we’ll schedule periodic check-ins to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to keep your smile on track.
Am I A Candidate?
Invisalign is designed for patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns, including spacing, crowding, and minor bite issues like overbite or crossbite. It’s a great option for patients looking for an aesthetically pleasing alternative to braces. However, success with Invisalign depends on consistency—aligners must be worn as directed to achieve the intended results.
The best candidates for Invisalign are individuals with healthy teeth and gums, as existing dental concerns may need to be addressed before starting treatment. If you’re motivated to follow the daily wear schedule and looking for a low-profile way to straighten your smile, Invisalign could be an excellent fit. During your consultation at Appomattox Family Dentistry, we’ll assess your oral health and alignment needs to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
