What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into better alignment. Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign trays are smooth, removable, and virtually invisible. Each aligner is designed using precise digital scans of your teeth, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit that applies gentle pressure to move your teeth little by little over time.
Whether you’re looking to correct spacing, crowding, or bite issues, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable way to enhance your smile without disrupting your lifestyle. Most patients wear each aligner set for about 10 to 14 days before switching to the next in the series, with the full treatment typically lasting between 6 and 18 months, depending on your specific needs.
- Nearly invisible look: Transparent aligners blend in with your natural smile so others won’t notice you’re wearing them.
- Removable flexibility: You can easily remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss without changing your routine.
- Smooth and snug fit: The trays are made of soft plastic that fits securely without irritating your gums or cheeks.
- Digital design technology: Advanced 3D imaging allows for precise planning and highly personalized aligners.
Why Choose Invisalign®?
Invisalign offers many of the same benefits as braces but with far less inconvenience. Patients love the freedom it gives them—there are no dietary restrictions, no complicated cleaning routines, and far fewer office visits. Best of all, because the aligners are clear, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
This treatment is ideal for adults and teens who want to improve their smile with minimal interference in their appearance or routine. At Murry & Kuhn Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we take the time to customize every step of the process to ensure your treatment is not only effective but also comfortable and easy to follow.
- Discreet solution: Aligners are clear and subtle, letting you smile freely throughout treatment.
- Low-maintenance visits: Fewer in-office adjustments are needed compared to traditional braces.
- Trusted providers: Our experienced dentists have helped many patients achieve stunning results with Invisalign.
- Personalized care: Each step of the process is tailored to your alignment goals, schedule, and comfort.
The Invisalign® Process
The first step is a comprehensive consultation where we assess your oral health and determine if Invisalign is right for you. We use digital scans—no messy impressions—to create a 3D model of your smile and simulate the movement of your teeth from start to finish. Once your custom aligners are fabricated, you’ll begin wearing them as instructed, removing them only to eat, drink (anything besides water), brush, and floss.
Routine check-ins with our team help track your progress and allow for adjustments as needed. We’re with you every step of the way to ensure your treatment stays on course and delivers the beautiful results you expect.
- Initial assessment: Your dentist will examine your smile, answer questions, and confirm if Invisalign is a good fit.
- Custom aligner series: A complete set of aligners is made just for you, designed to move teeth in small, controlled steps.
- Consistent wear schedule: Each aligner is typically worn for 10–14 days before moving to the next one in the series.
- Progress monitoring: Occasional visits ensure everything is going as planned and let your provider fine-tune if needed.
Am I A Candidate?
Invisalign is effective for a wide range of alignment concerns, including minor crowding, gaps, and bite misalignments. However, it does require commitment—aligners must be worn consistently for 20–22 hours per day. Candidates should also have healthy teeth and gums before beginning treatment. If you’re seeking a subtle, lifestyle-friendly way to straighten your smile, Invisalign may be the perfect fit.
- Common alignment issues: Invisalign can treat spacing, crowding, overbites, underbites, and more mild to moderate issues.
- Healthy starting point: Your teeth and gums should be free of decay or gum disease before beginning treatment.
- Daily wear commitment: Aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day, only removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning.
- Lifestyle-friendly option: Perfect if you want straighter teeth without changing how you eat, speak, or smile.
