What is Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign treatment uses clear, custom-made aligners to gently and effectively straighten teeth. The aligners are nearly invisible and fit snugly over your teeth, making them a discreet way to achieve a straighter smile. Invisalign eliminates the need for metal braces, allowing you to keep smiling confidently throughout the entire process.
How does Invisalign work?
The process starts with a digital scan of your teeth, which creates a personalized treatment plan. You receive a series of aligners, each designed to shift your teeth slightly closer to their ideal positions. Every one to two weeks, you will switch to the next aligner in the sequence until your treatment is complete. The aligners gently and consistently apply pressure to achieve your desired results.

Is Invisalign comfortable to wear?
Yes! Invisalign aligners are crafted from smooth, BPA-free plastic, ensuring comfort throughout your treatment. Unlike conventional metal braces, there are no metal wires or brackets present to irritate your gum tissues or inner cheeks. Although you may experience minor discomfort when switching to a new aligner, this signals that your teeth are moving as planned.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The length of a patient’s treatment varies depending on their specific needs, but most of our patients complete their Invisalign treatment in around 12 to 18 months. During your consultation with us, Drs. Piedra and Ramirez provide an estimated timeline that is based on your unique case.
What are the advantages of Invisalign over braces?
One of the biggest advantages of the Invisalign treatment is its nearly invisible look, making it a popular choice for teens and adults. Additionally, these aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy all of your favorite meals and maintain proper oral hygiene by both brushing and flossing with ease. This convenience, combined with its effectiveness, makes Invisalign a preferred solution for teeth straightening services.
Can I eat or drink while I am wearing my Invisalign trays?
You need to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything besides water. This helps prevent staining or damage to the aligners. Once you are finished, brush your teeth before you put the aligners back in to maintain good oral hygiene and ensure the best final results.
