What Makes Invisalign Clear Aligners Unique?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable aligners that gently and gradually shift your teeth into place. Patients choose Invisalign because it offers:

Virtually invisible treatment with smooth, clear plastic trays
Comfort without wires or brackets
Full flexibility, since aligners are removable for meals and brushing
Predictable results using advanced 3D digital technology
Faster treatment for many patients, often around 12 months

Every aligner is precisely crafted to ensure a snug, effective fit designed around your unique smile goals.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

Invisalign is an investment in your smile and confidence. We make it simple to begin treatment with flexible options such as:

Low, affordable down payments
Interest-free monthly payment plans
Help maximizing dental insurance benefits
FSA and HSA compatibility
Convenient payment using major credit cards

During your consultation, our team will review all options to help you choose a plan that fits your needs.

How Is Invisalign Different from Braces?

Invisalign and braces both straighten teeth effectively, but Invisalign offers additional comfort and flexibility. Patients often choose Invisalign because it provides:

A discreet appearance without metal
No food restrictions simply remove your aligners
Easy brushing and flossing
Fewer office visits
A comfortable fit without irritation

Clear aligners are especially appealing for professionals, teens, and anyone wanting a subtle orthodontic option.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign works for patients of many ages, with treatment tailored to every stage of life:

Invisalign First: Designed for younger children, Invisalign First guides early jaw development and creates space for incoming permanent teeth.
Invisalign Teen: Invisalign Teen includes compliance indicators and features designed for growing smiles perfect for school, sports, and social activities.
Invisalign for Adults: Adults appreciate the discreet appearance and flexibility. Whether correcting a relapse or starting treatment for the first time, adults can achieve a straighter smile at any age.

How Does the Invisalign Process Work?

Your Invisalign journey includes a simple, step-by-step process:

Consultation – We examine your teeth and discuss your goals.
Digital Impressions – 3D imaging creates your customized treatment plan.
Custom Aligner Fabrication – A series of aligners is made just for you.
Wear & Replace – Wear each set for about 2 weeks before advancing.
Progress Check-Ins – Quick visits ensure everything stays on track.

For ideal results, aligners must be worn 22 hours per day.

Caring for Your Invisalign Clear Aligners

One of the best parts of Invisalign is how easy it is to maintain:

Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
Brush and floss after meals before putting aligners back in.
Clean aligners daily using lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser. Avoid hot water, which can warp them.
Store aligners in their protective case when not in use.

Once treatment is complete, wearing a retainer will help maintain the straightness and beauty of your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Invisalign that go beyond the basics? Here are some helpful answers for patients considering clear aligner treatment at Waddoups Orthodontics.

Is Invisalign a Good Option for Adults Who Never Had Orthodontic Treatment?

Yes. Many adults choose Invisalign because it seamlessly integrates into a professional lifestyle and doesn’t disrupt daily routines. Dr. Waddoups can evaluate your smile and determine whether clear aligners are the right solution for your specific goals.

Can Teens Use Invisalign Instead of Braces?

In many cases, yes. Invisalign Teen includes features like eruption tabs and compliance indicators, making it suitable for growing smiles. Dr. Waddoups will discuss whether your teen’s bite, growth stage, and responsibilities make them a good candidate.

How Do I Know If Invisalign Will Give Me the Results I Want?

During your consultation, we take a digital scan to create a personalized treatment preview. This allows you to see a projected simulation of how your teeth can move with Invisalign before treatment begins.

What Should I Expect During My First Few Days With Invisalign?

Most patients notice a gentle pressure on their teeth as they adjust to a new aligner, which is a sign that the aligners are working. Minor speech changes or extra saliva are also normal and typically resolve within a day or two.

Can Invisalign Be Used After Previous Orthodontic Treatment?

Absolutely. Invisalign is often used to correct mild relapse in patients who previously had braces but experienced shifting over time. Dr. Waddoups can determine whether a short refinement plan or full Invisalign treatment is needed.
