What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that utilizes cutting-edge technology to straighten teeth without the need for traditional braces. The system consists of a series of custom-made, clear aligners that are virtually invisible when worn. These aligners are designed to exert gentle pressure on your teeth, gradually guiding them into their desired positions over time. Each set of aligners is typically worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next in the series, bringing you one step closer to your dream smile with every change.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions and making oral hygiene a breeze. The comfortable and discreet nature of Invisalign has made it a popular choice for teens and adults alike who wish to achieve a confident smile without the aesthetic and lifestyle drawbacks of metal braces.

Why Choose Invisalign®?

  • Aesthetics: The most apparent advantage of Invisalign is the nearly invisible appearance of the aligners. This feature is particularly appealing to those who wish to straighten their teeth discreetly without drawing unnecessary attention to their orthodontic treatment.
  • Comfort: Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring a comfortable fit throughout the treatment process. The absence of metal wires and brackets eliminates the risk of mouth sores or discomfort often associated with traditional braces.
  • Removable: Unlike traditional braces that are fixed in place, Invisalign aligners can be easily removed when necessary. This means you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your orthodontic appliances. Additionally, brushing and flossing are much easier since there are no obstacles to navigate around.
  • Fewer dental visits: Invisalign generally requires fewer visits to the dentist compared to traditional braces. You will only need to visit the Washington Center for Dentistry periodically to check the progress of your treatment and receive your new sets of aligners.
  • Effective: Invisalign has been proven effective in treating a wide range of dental issues, including overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The treatment is tailored to your unique dental needs, ensuring optimal results.

The Invisalign® Process

The journey to your perfect smile begins with a consultation at the Washington Center for Dentistry. During this initial visit, our experienced dental professionals will assess your teeth and bite alignment to determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. If Invisalign is a suitable choice, we will take digital impressions of your teeth using advanced 3D scanning technology. These impressions will serve as the foundation for creating your custom-made aligners.

Once your aligners are ready, you will receive a series of sets that need to be worn sequentially. Each set will gently and gradually move your teeth closer to their desired positions. The total duration of your Invisalign treatment will vary based on your individual needs, but it typically ranges from six to 18 months.

Throughout your treatment, we will schedule periodic check-ups to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. It is essential to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day for the treatment to be effective. However, the flexibility to remove them allows you to take them out for special occasions or when indulging in meals.
