What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a sequence of clear plastic aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. Each aligner is carefully designed to move your teeth slightly closer to their final position.
Patients wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. Over time, these small movements add up to create a beautifully aligned smile.
Because the aligners are removable, Invisalign allows you to continue enjoying your favorite foods and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine.
What Invisalign Can Correct
Invisalign is a versatile orthodontic solution that can treat many common alignment concerns, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite or underbite
- Crossbite
- Mild to moderate bite alignment issues
During your consultation, Dr. Jerell Wilson or Dr. Madelyn Wilson will evaluate your smile and determine whether Invisalign is the best option for your orthodontic needs.
Benefits of Invisalign
Many patients prefer Invisalign because it offers several advantages over traditional braces.
The aligners are clear and discreet, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want a more subtle orthodontic treatment. Invisalign aligners are also smooth and comfortable, reducing the irritation often associated with metal brackets and wires.
Because they are removable, aligners allow you to eat normally and maintain your oral hygiene routine without special tools or dietary restrictions.
Additional benefits include:
- Fewer office visits compared to traditional braces
- Improved comfort during treatment
- Predictable results with digital treatment planning
- No metal brackets or wires
The Invisalign Treatment Process
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation at Wilson Family Dental. During this visit, we examine your teeth and discuss your smile goals.
Using digital imaging and impressions of your teeth, we create a personalized treatment plan that maps out how your teeth will gradually move over time. These images allow you to preview your expected results before treatment even begins.
Once your aligners are created, you will wear them for approximately 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Periodic checkups allow us to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment stays on track.
