What Is Invisalign?
You may have heard or seen commercials for Invisalign already – but if you’re unfamiliar with the system, we’re happy to supply the details! Invisalign is the safe, easy, and relatively quick way to straighten teeth without the hassles and obvious visibility of traditional metal braces. Average treatment time for Invisalign is about a year, which is often half of the time it takes for their metal counterparts to do the trick.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. These aligners are custom-made for your unique dental structure, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an excellent option for adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal braces. Additionally, because the aligners are removable, you can maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. The convenience and effectiveness of Invisalign make it a popular choice for those seeking a modern and discreet orthodontic treatment.
NEVER MISS WORK OR SCHOOL
Schedule A Consultation To Explain The Invisalign Treatment
We start with digital X-rays for quick, precise images of your teeth. Your MVS dentist will then create a treatment plan that maps out the exact way your teeth will move, including a timeline so you know what to expect and when.
Once you receive your custom clear aligners, you’ll wear them for at least 20 hours a day. Depending on your individual treatment plan, you may swap the aligners each week or every other week. Regular check-ups will be scheduled to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
A successful outcome will rely on your taking them out only to conduct your oral hygiene routine and eat, but the good news is that you don’t have to hold back from enjoying your favorite foods! Our team of family dentists, Dr. Phillip Lance, Dr. Katherine Lebedev, and Dr. Cassandra Skonhovd will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to keep you on track for a perfect smile.

Why More Patients Are Choosing Invisalign
Many patients want a straighter smile but are hesitant about the appearance and inconvenience of traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move teeth into their ideal position while allowing patients to maintain their normal lifestyle. Because the aligners are virtually invisible, many people feel more confident throughout treatment and appreciate the flexibility of removing them for meals, brushing, and flossing.
In addition to their discreet appearance, Invisalign aligners offer several advantages that make treatment appealing for both teens and adults. Patients often enjoy greater comfort because there are no metal brackets or wires, fewer office visits may be required, and advanced treatment planning helps create a predictable path toward a healthier, more attractive smile. While traditional braces may still be recommended for certain complex orthodontic cases, Invisalign is an excellent option for many patients seeking an effective and less noticeable way to straighten their teeth.
