Why Choose Invisalign® Over Braces?

Invisalign® uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional metal braces or even ceramic braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable, virtually invisible, and easy to maintain—offering a more convenient and comfortable treatment experience.

How Invisalign® Compares to Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are made from clear or tooth-colored materials and are less noticeable than metal braces, but they still involve brackets and wires. Invisalign® differs in several key ways:

  • No Brackets or Wires: Invisalign® aligners are made of smooth, clear plastic, so they do not require bonded components.
  • Removable Design: Aligners can be taken out when eating or brushing, unlike ceramic braces, which are fixed in place.
  • Easier Oral Hygiene: Without wires or brackets to work around, brushing and flossing are much simpler.
  • Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign® typically requires fewer in-office adjustments compared to ceramic braces.
  • Greater Comfort: No metal or ceramic edges to irritate cheeks or gums.

Both options are more discreet than traditional metal braces, but Invisalign® offers unmatched flexibility and comfort for busy adults and teens.

What to Expect with Invisalign® Treatment

Your Invisalign® journey starts with a personalized treatment plan designed by Dr. Polley using advanced digital technology to ensure precision and comfort from start to finish.

Digital Impressions with iTero™ Intraoral Scanner

At your initial visit, we’ll take a detailed digital scan of your teeth using the iTero™ Intraoral Scanner. This eliminates the need for messy putty impressions and provides a clear 3D model of your smile. You’ll even get a digital preview of how your smile will look after treatment!

Custom Aligners and Gradual Movement

Based on your scan, we’ll create a series of aligners custom-designed to move your teeth in small, controlled steps. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, or floss.

Routine check-ins with Dr. Polley ensure your progress stays on track—with fewer visits than traditional or ceramic braces require.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a great choice for both teens and adults who want to improve their smile without the look and feel of braces. Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate alignment issues, such as crooked teeth, small gaps, or bite concerns. You should also be committed to wearing the aligners for at least 22 hours a day and maintaining excellent oral hygiene.

If you have more complex orthodontic needs, Dr. Polley will help determine whether Invisalign® is appropriate or if other treatment options may be more effective. Our goal is to provide honest guidance so you can make an informed decision that fits your smile goals and lifestyle.

Dental Issues Corrected by Invisalign®

Invisalign® can effectively correct many common orthodontic concerns, including:

  • Overcrowded Teeth – Creates space for proper alignment.
  • Gapped Teeth – Closes gaps to improve function and appearance.
  • Overbite & Underbite – Aligns the bite for better aesthetics and chewing ability.

Frequently Asked Questions

The length of Invisalign® treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment takes between 12 to 18 months. Dr. Polley will give you an estimated treatment timeline during your consultation.

It is recommended to remove your Invisalign® aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This ensures your aligners stay clean and in good condition and prevents any staining or damage to the aligners.

To keep your aligners clean, simply rinse them with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. You should also clean your teeth before putting your aligners back in to prevent food particles and plaque buildup.

Some patients may experience a slight lisp or difficulty speaking when they first start wearing their aligners. This is temporary, and most people adjust to speaking normally within a few days.

While Invisalign® requires fewer office visits than traditional braces, you will still need to come in for routine check-ups about every 6-8 weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned and to receive your next set of aligners.

Consistency is key to achieving the best results with Invisalign®. If you don’t wear your aligners as instructed, it may slow your progress or even affect the outcome of your treatment. It’s important to follow the schedule to ensure your teeth move as planned.

While Invisalign® is highly effective for mild to moderate orthodontic issues, patients with more complex cases may need additional treatment, such as braces. Dr. Polley will evaluate your specific needs and provide recommendations for the best treatment option.

Some patients may experience minor discomfort when they start wearing a new set of aligners, but this is usually temporary. The discomfort is a sign that your aligners are working to move your teeth into the desired position.
