What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series.

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. The treatment uses advanced 3D computer imaging technology to map your complete treatment plan from your current tooth position to the final desired outcome.

The system works through controlled force application, with each aligner making precise adjustments to tooth position. This gradual movement process ensures comfortable, predictable results while maintaining your ability to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene normally.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

Most Invisalign treatments take 12 to 18 months to complete, though treatment time varies based on individual case complexity. Simple alignment corrections may be finished in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases can require up to 24 months.

Treatment duration depends on several factors including the severity of misalignment, patient compliance with wearing aligners 20-22 hours daily, and individual tooth movement response.

Dr. Le will provide a specific timeline estimate during your consultation based on your unique treatment needs. You’ll typically receive multiple sets of aligners at once, changing to a new set every 1-2 weeks with progress check appointments scheduled every 6-8 weeks.

Is Invisalign Better Than Braces?

Invisalign offers superior aesthetics and convenience compared to traditional braces for most patients. The removable design allows normal eating and simplified oral hygiene, while the clear appearance maintains your professional image throughout treatment.

However, traditional braces may be more effective for severe orthodontic cases or complex bite corrections. Dr. Le will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your specific alignment needs and lifestyle preferences.

Is Invisalign Faster Than Braces?

Invisalign treatment often requires less time than traditional braces, with most cases completing in 12-18 months versus 18-24 months for braces. The precise, computer-planned movement can be more efficient than conventional wire adjustments.

Treatment speed ultimately depends on case complexity and patient compliance. Wearing aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours daily is crucial for achieving predicted treatment timelines.

Is Invisalign More Expensive Than Braces?

Invisalign costs are typically comparable to traditional braces, with final treatment fees varying based on case complexity and treatment duration. Many dental insurance plans provide similar coverage for both treatment options.

The investment in Invisalign often provides additional value through reduced office visits, fewer emergency appointments, and the ability to maintain normal daily activities throughout treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

Invisalign typically causes minimal discomfort compared to traditional braces, with most patients experiencing only mild pressure when switching to new aligners. This temporary sensation lasts 1-2 days and indicates the aligners are working effectively to move your teeth. The smooth plastic material eliminates cuts and irritation common with metal brackets and wires.
Invisalign costs are generally comparable to traditional braces, with treatment fees varying based on case complexity and treatment duration. While initial costs may be similar, Invisalign often provides better value through fewer emergency visits and reduced treatment time. Many financing options and insurance coverage make both treatments accessible and affordable.
Invisalign is covered by most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits, typically providing the same coverage percentage as traditional braces. Coverage amounts vary by plan, but many insurance providers cover 50% of treatment costs up to a lifetime maximum benefit. Contact your insurance provider to verify specific Invisalign coverage details and benefit amounts.
Medicaid coverage for Invisalign varies by state and is typically limited to cases deemed medically necessary rather than cosmetic. Most Medicaid programs prioritize traditional braces for orthodontic treatment, though some states may approve Invisalign for specific clinical situations. Check with your local Medicaid office to determine coverage availability in your area.
Invisalign can effectively treat mild to moderate overbites by gradually repositioning both upper and lower teeth into proper alignment. The clear aligners use precise pressure to move teeth and can incorporate features like bite ramps and precision cuts for complex bite corrections. Severe overbites may require traditional braces or surgical intervention for optimal results.
You must remove Invisalign aligners before eating any food to prevent damage and staining of the clear plastic. After meals, brush your teeth and rinse the aligners before replacing them to maintain oral hygiene and aligner clarity. The removable design means you can enjoy all your favorite foods without dietary restrictions throughout treatment.
You can drink plain water while wearing Invisalign aligners, but all other beverages require aligner removal to prevent staining and damage. Hot drinks can warp the plastic, while sugary or acidic beverages can cause tooth decay when trapped under aligners. Remove aligners for coffee, soda, juice, or alcohol, then brush before replacing them.
You should not chew gum while wearing Invisalign aligners, as gum can stick to the plastic and damage or dislodge the aligners. Remove your aligners before chewing gum, then brush your teeth thoroughly before replacing them to maintain proper hygiene. The removable design allows you to enjoy gum and other treats without treatment restrictions.
You should not smoke while wearing Invisalign aligners, as tobacco can stain the clear plastic yellow or brown, making them highly visible. Smoking also increases the risk of gum disease and slows tooth movement, potentially extending treatment time. If you smoke, remove your aligners first, though quitting smoking will improve both your oral health and treatment outcomes.
To clean Invisalign aligners, rinse them with lukewarm water and brush gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear antibacterial soap. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic, and never use toothpaste, which can scratch the clear material. Clean your aligners every morning and evening when you remove them for meals.
