How Invisalign Works

Invisalign treatment begins with a brief digital scan of your teeth that takes accurate three-dimensional images of your current smile. Using Invisalign’s proprietary planning software, Dr. Dalla maps out the precise movements needed to shift your teeth into their desired positions and can show you a digital preview of your expected outcome before treatment begins.

A customized series of clear aligners is then fabricated based on your treatment plan. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one to two weeks before advancing to the next set, gradually moving your teeth toward their final position. Periodic checkup appointments allow Dr. Dalla to monitor your progress and ensure treatment is advancing as planned.

Invisalign for Adults

Many adults want a straighter smile but are unwilling to wear traditional metal braces in professional or social settings. Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible when worn, making them a practical and aesthetically acceptable solution for adults seeking orthodontic correction without the visibility of conventional braces.

The aligners are removable for eating and oral hygiene, meaning there are no dietary restrictions and brushing and flossing remain straightforward throughout treatment. Aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours per day to achieve results within the planned treatment timeline.

Invisalign Teen

Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for younger patients whose smiles are still developing. Clear aligners allow teens to straighten their teeth without the self-consciousness often associated with metal braces. Because the aligners are removable, teens can eat normally and maintain their oral hygiene routine without the challenges that come with fixed hardware.

Aligners should be worn consistently for 20 to 22 hours per day for treatment to progress effectively. Dr. Dalla will discuss compliance expectations and monitoring during your consultation.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Invisalign is appropriate for treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. During your consultation, Dr. Dalla will evaluate your teeth, bite, and alignment goals to determine whether Invisalign or another clear aligner option is the most suitable choice for your specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the case. Mild corrections may be completed in as little as six months. More involved cases typically require twelve to eighteen months or longer. Dr. Dalla will provide an estimated timeline during your consultation based on your specific alignment needs.

How is Invisalign different from ClearCorrect?
Both Invisalign and ClearCorrect use clear removable aligners to straighten teeth and are clinically effective orthodontic options. The systems differ in their aligner material, treatment planning software, and the range of cases each is designed to address. Dr. Dalla will evaluate your situation and recommend the system best suited to your treatment goals.

Can Invisalign fix my bite as well as straighten my teeth?
Yes. Invisalign is designed to address a range of bite issues including overbites, underbites, open bites, and crossbites in addition to tooth crowding and spacing concerns. The suitability of Invisalign for your specific bite concern will be assessed during your consultation.

What happens if I do not wear my aligners enough?
Consistent wear of at least 22 hours per day is essential to achieving planned tooth movement on schedule. Insufficient wear time can slow progress, extend treatment duration, or result in teeth not moving as planned. Compliance is the single most important factor in achieving a successful Invisalign outcome.

Will I need a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes. Retainer wear following completion of Invisalign treatment is essential to maintaining your results. Teeth naturally tend to shift back toward their original position over time without retention. Dr. Dalla will discuss your long-term retention plan as you approach the end of treatment.

Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients experience some pressure or mild discomfort for the first day or two after switching to a new set of aligners. This is a normal response to the teeth beginning to move and typically resolves quickly. Invisalign aligners do not cause the irritation to the cheeks and gums that metal brackets and wires sometimes produce.
