How Invisalign Works

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment designed to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the ideal position.

You wear each set of aligners daily for about one to two weeks before picking up the next set in the series, gently and gradually guiding your teeth into position. And because they are made from translucent material, no one has to know you’re going through the treatment!

Invisalign treatment is highly customizable and can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

Invisalign aligners are crafted from a proprietary, FDA-approved thermoplastic material called SmartTrack®. This innovative material offers a precise and comfortable fit while exerting gentle pressure to gradually reposition teeth over time. Being FDA-approved ensures the safety and effectiveness of Invisalign treatment, providing you with peace of mind throughout your orthodontic journey.

What Makes A Good Candidate

Invisalign is suitable for most people looking for orthodontic treatment, including teenagers and adults.

Good candidates tend to have mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as crooked or misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or minor bite problems.

As an Invisalign provider here in Anchorage, we can determine if the treatment is right for you. Simply book a consultation and we’ll walk you through all your options.

The Benefits Beyond Just Aesthetics

  • When you have spacing issues between your teeth, the force of your bite distributes unevenly. By correcting your bite’s alignment, you can prevent uneven wear and tear to certain teeth.
  • Proper alignment can also reduce stress on the joints of your jaw, reducing your risk of developing TMJ disorder.
  • A more uniform smile is also much easier to clean as you now have access to the entire surface of every tooth. Teeth that crowd can attract bacterial deposits in areas where your brush and floss cannot reach.

Designing Your Custom Aligners

After an initial consultation, we will take digital impressions or scans of your teeth which we use to create your custom treatment plan.

You’ll receive a series of clear aligners tailored to your specific treatment goals, which you’ll need to wear for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

Approximately every one to two weeks, you’ll switch to the next set of aligners in the series, gradually moving your teeth into their ideal positions.

Throughout your treatment, you’ll have periodic check-ups with us to monitor your progress and ensure your smile is transforming according to plan.

Other Orthodontic Options

We also offer treatment with Six Month Smiles, an alternative braces treatment that is completed within half a year. Using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, Six Month Smiles provides a more natural appearance during your braces treatment. After designing and placing your braces, we will see you once per month to make any necessary adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Invisalign clear aligner treatment work?

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom aligners that gently slide over your teeth and guide them into alignment over time. Every week or two, you simply switch to a fresh set of trays. Because they are virtually invisible and completely removable, you can go about your normal day, eat your favorite foods, and brush your teeth easily without worrying about metal wires.

Is Invisalign as effective as traditional metal braces?

For most teens and adults, Invisalign is just as effective as traditional metal braces at fixing gaps, crowding, and bite issues. We will start with a thorough evaluation using digital scans to make sure aligners are the right fit for your goals. It is a very practical and reliable way to achieve a straight smile with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?

On average, Invisalign treatment takes between twelve and eighteen months, though many patients start noticing positive changes within the first few weeks. Your total timeline depends on your unique smile and how consistently you wear your aligners for the recommended twenty two hours each day. We will outline a clear timeline right from the start so you always know what to expect.

Is wearing Invisalign aligners uncomfortable?

You may feel a slight, gentle pressure for the first day or two after switching to a new tray, which simply means your teeth are safely moving. Compared to traditional braces that can irritate your cheeks and gums, clear aligners are smooth and shaped to fit comfortably against your soft tissues. You can expect a very gentle experience as your smile transforms.

Does insurance cover Invisalign treatment?

Many dental insurance plans offer orthodontic coverage that includes clear aligner therapy just like traditional braces. Our caring team will gladly look into your specific plan, walk you through your benefits, and explain our straightforward payment options. We want to make sure your journey to a confident smile is easy, clear, and completely stress free.
