Invisalign uses data points from over 12 million smiles to customize treatment?
First, you’ll meet with the clinical team for an Invisalign consultation. You will meet with a member of the clinical team and the doctor who will examine your teeth, discuss your goals and determine if Invisalign is right for you. The team will take a digital scan of your mouth and with the use of our outcome simulator will give you a sneak peek of your new smile!
Once your aligners arrive at our office (about 5 weeks after your consultation), you’ll come in to pick them up, get attachments on your teeth which will keep your trays engaged and try them on. Your provider will instruct you on how to wear your aligners to get the best results. Typically, you’ll be sent home with multiple aligner trays that you will be advised to wear for at least 22 hours a day and switch out the aligners for the next set every 1-2 weeks.
With the help of artificial Intelligence (AI), you can complete your Invisalign treatment in as few as three office visits! You will be provided with everything you need to complete weekly check-ins from your own home. These virtual check-ins will help make sure your teeth are tracking properly and allowing early intervention if needed.
After treatment is complete, you’ll maintain your beautiful new smile with a final set of retainers. These clear, plastic retainers will look similar to your Invisalign aligners, but the plastic is stronger to help keep your teeth straight for years to come. The team will instruct you on how to wear and care for these trays.

If your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth, this is called an overbite and occurs in most people. It becomes a problem when the overbite is too large. If you have too deep a bite, your teeth may wear down or you could suffer from jaw pain. Invisalign can fix an overbite or deep bite, and get your teeth in a healthier position.
An underbite is when your lower front teeth are in front of your upper front teeth. The problem often lies in the position of the jaw; the lower jaw being too far forward. This misplacement can make it hard to chew and speak properly, and may cause wear and tear to the teeth. Invisalign can fix some cases of underbites, but severe underbites may require Invisalign treatment as well as oral surgery.
Normally, the upper front teeth sit in front of the lower front teeth. Crossbites are when a few of your upper teeth sit behind your lower teeth. This can cause your teeth to wear down or chip, and may also cause gum recession, which can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss. Invisalign can fix some crossbites, but it’s best to have a consultation with your doctor to see which options are right for you.
Gaps between teeth are fairly common, but these extra spaces can create pockets between the teeth and gums where food can get trapped. These spaces can harbor bacteria which can make your gums tender and sore and even lead to gum disease. Invisalign can fix gaps between teeth and give you a straighter, more seamless smile.
Usually the upper and lower front teeth touch when the mouth is closed. When they don’t, it’s called an open bite. This can make it difficult to chew properly or bite into certain foods effectively. Invisalign can adjust the bite, so all teeth sit straight and as they naturally should.
Crowding happens when there’s not enough room in the jaw for your teeth to sit straight. As a result, they bunch up, overlap and twist, sometimes getting pushed in front of or behind others. Crowded teeth can make oral care routines, like brushing and flossing difficult. When teeth aren’t cleaned properly, it’s easier for plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria to build up. Over time, this can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Plus, crowding can get worse as the teeth naturally shift inward. Invisalign can fix most cases of crowded teeth. You’ll just need to speak with your dentist to determine if it’s the best option for you.
Over 12 million smiles have been transformed with Invisalign.
The aligners are designed from molds and built in layers with photo-sensitive liquid resin. When exposed to a laser, the resin cures into a hard, yet flexible, thermoplastic. This plastic is called SmartTrack®, and it was created exclusively for Invisalign treatment. It’s FDA-approved and contains no BPA, BPS, latex or gluten.
The simplest way to keep them clean is to brush them with a toothbrush and toothpaste as often as you brush your teeth. If you don’t have access to your toothbrush, you should rinse them with lukewarm water. Never use hot water as you may warp the plastic. You can also purchase an Invisalign Cleaning System for a more thorough clean.
Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, which makes them virtually invisible. Many people may not notice that you’re wearing them. All sets of aligners are custom-made to fit snuggly to your teeth, and are trimmed to fit to your gum line for a more seamless wear. There are no metal brackets or wires, or restrictions that come with braces, so you can feel confident in your smile throughout treatment.
