What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic alternative to traditional braces that straightens teeth with a series of custom-made, removable aligners made from clear, flexible plastic. Your aligners are designed from precise impressions of your mouth, so they fit snugly over your teeth. When worn, each aligner applies gentle, consistent pressure that gradually shifts your teeth into their ideal positions.

You wear your aligners for about 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. Every one to two weeks, you move on to the next aligner in your series. Over the course of treatment, your teeth progressively reposition to create a straighter, healthier smile.

What Does Invisalign Treat?

Invisalign can correct many of the same concerns traditionally treated with braces, including:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps and widely spaced teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Open bite

Straight teeth do more than look great. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, which lowers your risk of cavities and gum disease, and a balanced bite can reduce uneven wear on your teeth. Invisalign is a safe, effective, and convenient option for both adults and teens.

Benefits of Invisalign

Virtually Invisible

Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack® material that is nearly invisible when worn, so you can straighten your teeth discreetly at work, school, and social events.

Comfortable

Your aligners are custom-built for your smile and trimmed to fit along your gumline. Their smooth plastic won’t irritate the inside of your cheeks and lips the way metal brackets and wires can.

Hygienic

Because your aligners are removable, it is easy to brush and floss normally throughout treatment. There is no need for special tools to clean around brackets and wires.

Convenient

There are no food restrictions with Invisalign. Simply remove your aligners before meals, then brush and put them back in. You can also take them out for sports or special occasions.

What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment

Your journey begins with a consultation at our Richboro office. Dr. Sandhu will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine whether Invisalign is right for you. If you are a candidate, impressions of your teeth are used to plan your treatment and create your custom aligner series.

Throughout treatment, you will visit our office periodically so Dr. Sandhu can monitor your progress and ensure your teeth are moving as planned. Treatment time varies by case, and many patients complete treatment in roughly 6 to 18 months. Once your teeth reach their final positions, a retainer helps keep your new smile in place.

Does Invisalign Hurt?

You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two when you switch to a new set of aligners. This is a normal sign that your teeth are moving, and the sensation usually fades quickly. If you experience persistent discomfort, Dr. Sandhu can help make your treatment more comfortable.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The cost of Invisalign depends on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that can help cover Invisalign. Our team will help you maximize your benefits so your treatment is as affordable as possible. Learn more on our insurance and financial information pages.

Invisalign pairs well with other cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as professional whitening, for a complete smile makeover. Start your Invisalign journey today. Request an appointment or call (215) 485-5151.
