Are you considering straightening your teeth but hesitant to commit to traditional
braces? Look no further than Invisalign, the clear and virtually invisible alternative to
braces. As a dental professional, I have seen firsthand the benefits of Invisalign for my
patients. In this article, I will explain how Invisalign works, its benefits compared to
traditional braces, who is a good candidate for Invisalign, the treatment process,
maintaining oral hygiene with Invisalign, frequently asked questions, why you should
choose Integrity Dental for Invisalign treatment, and how Invisalign stacks up against
other clear aligner options.
INTRODUCTION TO INVISALIGN
Invisalign is a transparent aligner system that utilizes custom-made aligners to shift teeth
into their proper position gradually. These aligners are durable, BPA-free plastic and
virtually invisible when worn. Invisalign aligners are also removable, allowing for easier
oral hygiene maintenance and easy eating and drinking without any restrictions.
HOW DOES INVISALIGN WORK?
Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made aligners to gradually shift teeth into their
proper position. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced
with the next set in the series. The aligners are designed to apply gentle pressure to specific
teeth to gradually move them into their proper position. Treatment time varies depending on
the severity of the misalignment, but typically lasts between 6-18 months.
BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN OVER
TRADITIONAL BRACES
There are numerous benefits to choosing Invisalign over traditional braces. The most obvious
benefit is the clear and virtually invisible appearance of the aligners. This makes Invisalign a
popular choice for adults who may feel self-conscious about wearing traditional braces.
Invisalign aligners are also removable, allowing for easier maintenance of oral hygiene and the
ability to eat and drink without any restrictions. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign does not
require any uncomfortable wires or brackets that can irritate the mouth.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR
INVISALIGN?
Invisalign is a great option for individuals with mild to moderate misalignment issues.
This includes individuals with crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and minor bite
issues. However, individuals with severe misalignment issues may not be good
candidates for Invisalign and may require traditional braces or other orthodontic
treatments. It’s important to consult with a dental professional to determine if
Invisalign is the right treatment for your specific needs.
INVISALIGN TREATMENT PROCESS
The Invisalign treatment process typically begins with a consultation with a dental professional.
During this consultation, your dental professional will evaluate your teeth and determine if
Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If Invisalign is deemed appropriate, digital impressions of
your teeth will be taken to create a custom treatment plan. This plan will include a series of
custom-made aligners that will gradually shift your teeth into their proper position. Each set of
aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the
series. Regular check-ins with your dental professional will be required to monitor progress and
ensure the treatment is working effectively.
MAINTAINING ORAL HYGIENE WITH
INVISALIGN
One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is the ability to maintain proper oral hygiene. Unlike
traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing for easier brushing and flossing.
However, it’s important to maintain proper cleaning of the aligners themselves. This can be
done by gently brushing the aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinsing with
lukewarm water. It’s also important to avoid eating or drinking anything other than water
while wearing the aligners to prevent staining or warping.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT INVISALIGN

treatment as teeth begin to shift, Invisalign is generally considered less painful than
traditional braces.
Q: How long does Invisalign treatment take? A: Treatment time varies depending on the
severity of the misalignment, but typically lasts between 6-18 months.
Q: Can I eat and drink normally while wearing Invisalign aligners? A: While Invisalign
aligners are removable, it’s important to avoid eating or drinking anything other than water
while wearing the aligners to prevent staining or warping.
