How Does Invisalign Work?
Neo Dental - How Does Invisalign Work?
Teeth can be straightened orthodontically using braces or clear aligners.
Invisalign has earned a name for itself as the most advanced clear aligner system in the world. Custom trays are made using highly precise 3D digital scans taken by professionals and are fitted in-person to provide you with the highest level of discretion and comfort. Your treatment may be completed in as little as 6 months, but you will start to see a difference in just a few weeks. Your trays are easily removable and easy to clean so you can enjoy all the foods you love and still keep that clean-mouth-feel.
For a beautiful smile and a healthy lifestyle
Having straight teeth looks great but it can also prevent costly dental and medical problems.
It might be a little hard to believe but having straight teeth is very important to leading a healthy life. Maybe you feel like it doesn’t matter that your teeth are crooked. They don’t bother you, so there’s no point in fixing them. But teeth need to be in the correct position to function correctly and last a lifetime.

If you have any of the above conditions, schedule an appointment at our office for an evaluation of your oral health.
When is a good time to start?
Maybe you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth for some time. Perhaps you just recently had the recommendation from your dentist that it’s necessary. Either way, waiting to get started only gives you more months or years of dissatisfaction and increased risk of breaking teeth or dealing with related health problems. More importantly, remember that teeth continue to shift.
Your teeth will be more out of alignment in a few years than they are today.
The more movement your teeth require to straighten, the longer you’ll be in treatment. It’s easier, faster and less expensive to straighten teeth before they become severely misaligned.
Don’t worry, treatment is affordable. The entire cost is not due on the day you start treatment. Our office is happy to share with you the payment options most of our patients use.

What can you expect once you start your treatment?
Our mission is to help our patients achieve overall health and a beautiful smile by starting with a good foundation. That means straightening the teeth so they’re in proper alignment and are functioning correctly. You’re never too old to benefit from straightening your teeth.Your Treatment Plan
The process begins with digital scans of your teeth to create your treatment plan. Using Invisalign’s software, we can accurately predict how your teeth will change over time with Invisalign. We can even show you how your teeth will look weeks, months and eventually at the end of your treatment. Once your digital plan is finalized, your custom aligners are made using Invisalign’s state-of-the-art printing process.
The First Aligners
Once the aligners arrive, special fasteners are often necessary. These are bonded temporarily to your teeth so that you can easily clip in your aligners, but don’t worry, they’re mostly invisible and come off at the end of treatment.
Follow up Appointments
We will provided you with each set of clear aligners to wear for about two weeks. Your teeth will shift into place a little at a time as the aligners are changed for the next in the series until your teeth have been moved to their final, correct position. Visits to the office will be scheduled roughly once every 1-2 months to ensure that the treatment is going as planned.
