How Invisalign Straightens Your Smile

Invisalign is a contemporary orthodontic solution that utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually reposition your teeth. Each aligner is custom-fitted to your mouth and applies gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth.

You will wear each aligner for roughly two weeks before progressing to the next in the sequence. Each subsequent aligner makes small adjustments to your teeth until they achieve the desired alignment. This method is straightforward and typically comfortable.

Why patients choose Invisalign:

• Discreet: The clear material makes them nearly invisible.
• Removable: You can take them out for meals and cleaning.
• Hygienic: Easier to brush and floss compared to metal braces.
• Comfortable: No wires or brackets to irritate your mouth.

At Centerpoint Dental, we design personalized Invisalign plans to help you achieve a healthier, balanced bite without interrupting your daily life.

Common Problems Invisalign Can Improve

Invisalign helps improve how your teeth fit together. When your bite is misaligned, it can affect your chewing, speech, and long-term dental health.

Invisalign can correct:

• Crowding: When teeth overlap due to a lack of space.
• Spacing: Gaps between teeth that affect appearance.
• Overbite: When the upper teeth protrude too far over the lower teeth.
• Underbite: When lower teeth extend past upper teeth.
• Crossbite: When some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth.

With steady care and regular check-ins, many patients finish treatment in 12–18 months.

How the Invisalign Treatment Process Works

The Invisalign process is designed to be simple, clear, and comfortable.

1. Consultation: Your dentist examines your teeth, gums, and bite to determine if Invisalign is the right fit for you.
2. Digital Scans: We use a 3D scanner to capture a detailed image of your teeth—eliminating the need for messy molds.
3. Treatment Planning: Your dentist uses the scans to map out the exact movement of every tooth.
4. Custom Aligners: Clear trays are fabricated to match your unique treatment plan.
5. Active Treatment: You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat and clean.
6. Routine Check-Ins: Short visits every few weeks ensure everything is moving correctly.

After treatment, you may receive retainers to keep your results stable for years to come.

Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners and Your Teeth

Taking good care of your aligners is important for keeping your treatment on track. Clean aligners last longer, feel better, and stay clearer.

Simple care tips:

• Remove the aligners when eating.
• Clean them gently with a soft brush and mild soap (avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic).
• Store aligners in their case when not in use.
• Brush and floss your teeth after meals before putting your aligners back in.

• Digital Scanning: A small handheld device creates a 3D model of your teeth in minutes, allowing your dentist to plan exact movements.
• Treatment Software: Visualizes your entire journey, showing you a preview of your final smile before you even start.
• SmartTrack® Material: The aligners are made from flexible, medical-grade material designed to apply gentle, constant force for predictable results.

Daily Life With Invisalign

Living with Invisalign is simple. Because the aligners are clear and comfortable, they fit easily into your daily routine—whether you are at school, work, or social events.

You may feel slight pressure during the first few days of a new set, which is a sign the aligners are working. You can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods and activities without the restrictions of metal braces. Regular check-ins with your dentist keep your treatment on track, while most of the progress happens comfortably at home.
