Request an AppointmentWhat Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently shift your teeth into their desired position. Unlike traditional braces with brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, letting you maintain your confident smile throughout treatment. Each aligner is designed specifically for your dental needs and is typically worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set.
The Benefits of Choosing Invisalign
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic that won’t irritate your gums or cheeks like metal braces can, with no painful adjustments or uncomfortable wires. Because they’re removable, you can take them out while eating, brushing, and flossing, making oral hygiene hassle-free. Invisalign’s discreet appearance also means you can straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment — most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
How Does the Invisalign Process Work?
The process begins with a consultation, where we evaluate your smile and discuss your goals. If Invisalign is the right choice for you, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth to serve as the foundation for your custom aligners. Once ready, we’ll provide a schedule for switching to each new set and check in regularly to ensure your treatment progresses smoothly. Treatment duration typically ranges from 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is suitable for most patients with varying orthodontic needs, whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, or underbites. The best way to determine your candidacy is a visit to our Murfreesboro office for an in-depth assessment.
Caring for Your Aligners
Rinse your aligners daily and brush them gently when you brush your teeth. Avoid hot water, which can warp them, and store your aligners in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
