How Can I Get the Most from Invisalign Treatment?
Like most people, you may want a straighter, healthier smile but don’t look forward to having orthodontic treatment. That can change with Invisalign. The Invisalign dental procedure is less intrusive as there are no metal brackets or wires to contend with. Instead, you’ll use clear aligner trays to straighten your teeth. Invisalign clear teeth straightening treatment is available at Dental Care of Boca Raton in Boca Raton, Florida.
Here are some questions we’re often asked about Invisalign:
What is Invisalign?Â
Invisalign is one of the first orthodontic systems to use clear, removable aligners in place of metal braces to straighten your teeth. The aligners exert gentle pressure on your teeth when worn to slowly shift them into proper alignment. Â
What can I expect from the Invisalign dental procedure?
We will use 3D imaging technology to plan your procedure. You’ll be able to see how your teeth will move and what your smile will be like by the end of your treatment. We’ll also design a series of aligners for your teeth. As the aligners carry the brunt of realigning your smile, you need to wear them full-time, at least 20 – 22 hours a day, removing them mainly to eat and brush your teeth. You’ll upgrade to a new set of aligners every few weeks. This continues until your alignment goals are achieved.
What is the average treatment time for Invisalign?
Most people wear the aligners for 12 – 18 months. We’ll give you a tentative time frame for completion during your consultation.

What orthodontic problems can Invisalign correct?
Invisalign can be used to straighten crooked teeth, close tooth gaps, correct bite problems and fix problems with overcrowding. Most orthodontic issues can be successfully treated with Invisalign. If your problem is too severe for the aligners to fix, we will recommend an alternative treatment during your initial consultation.
How can I maximize my Invisalign treatment?
These tips can help you get the most from Invisalign:
- Wear the aligners as instructed 20 – 22 hours a day. The longer you wear them, the quicker you’ll see results.
- Be sure to switch to new aligners on schedule to keep your teeth shifting steadily into a straighter position.
- Maintain good oral hygiene to avoid dental problems like decay that can delay your treatment.
- Take good care of your aligners so they’ll work properly.
- Keep all dental appointments so we can stay on top of your treatment.
What are the benefits of Invisalign aligners over metal braces?
Invisalign aligners are clear and less noticeable on your teeth. They’re also made of smooth, biocompatible plastic material and will not irritate your gums or cheeks. There are no dietary restrictions as the aligners are removed when eating. You’ll also be able to take better care of your teeth as the aligners are removed for oral hygiene as well.
