What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a state-of-the-art orthodontic system that uses a series of custom, clear aligners instead of metal braces. These aligners gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions using gentle, controlled forces.

Invisalign aligners are:

• Clear and discreet so most people will not notice you are wearing them

• Comfortable to wear, with smooth plastic and no sharp brackets

• Custom made using advanced 3D digital scans of your teeth

• Removable, so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss normally

• Effective, often with fewer office visits than traditional braces

Thousands of orthodontists across the United States and Canada trust Invisalign to treat a wide range of orthodontic problems with accuracy and predictability.

What Can Invisalign Correct?

Invisalign can address many of the most common orthodontic concerns for teens and adults, including:

• Crooked or crowded teeth

• Gaps or spaces between teeth

• Overbite

• Underbite

• Crossbite

• Open bite

During your consultation at Valley Orthodontics, we will evaluate your bite and alignment to determine whether Invisalign is the best option or if another treatment type would be more effective for your case.

Benefits of Choosing Invisalign

People everywhere are choosing Invisalign clear aligners because they fit easily into daily life. With Invisalign, you can:

• Enjoy a straighter, healthier smile without visible metal braces

• Remove aligners to eat your favorite foods without restrictions

• Brush and floss normally for better oral hygiene

• Stay active in sports, music, or public-facing jobs without worrying about brackets and wires

• Experience comfortable, gentle tooth movement with fewer emergency visits

Invisalign is especially popular with professionals, parents, athletes, and teens who want a low profile treatment that still delivers excellent results.

How Invisalign Treatment Works

The Invisalign treatment process at Valley Orthodontics is designed to be straightforward and effective, involving several key steps to ensure a successful outcome:

• Initial Consultation: During this visit, we thoroughly examine your teeth and discuss your treatment goals. This helps us determine if Invisalign is the right option for you and allows us to tailor the treatment plan to your needs.
• Digital Scanning: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create a detailed digital model of your teeth. This model is used to design a precise treatment plan, showing the step-by-step movement of your teeth throughout treatment.
• Receiving Aligners: You will receive a series of custom-made clear aligners, each designed to be worn for about two weeks. These aligners are virtually invisible and comfortable, making straightening your teeth discreet and convenient.
• Regular Check-ups: You will visit our office periodically throughout your treatment to monitor your progress. During these visits, we will provide you with the next set of aligners and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your treatment is on track.
• Completion and Retainers: Once your teeth have reached their desired positions, we will provide you with retainers to maintain your new smile. These retainers are designed to keep your teeth in place, preventing any shifting that could undo the progress you’ve made.

Long-Term Benefits of Invisalign

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign is about more than appearance. Benefits can include:

• Easier brushing and flossing, which supports better long-term oral health

• Reduced risk of uneven wear on teeth

• Improved bite function and comfort when chewing

• A boost in self-confidence and willingness to smile

With proper retainer wear after treatment, you can maintain your results and enjoy your new smile for years to come.

Invisalign Clear Aligners for Adults and Teens

Invisalign is an excellent option for:

• Adults who want a discreet way to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces

• Teens who are responsible enough to wear aligners as directed and want a nearly invisible treatment option

Clear aligners work well with school, sports, and social events because they can be removed for short periods when needed and placed back in to stay on track.

Whether you are a busy professional, a college student, or a high school athlete, Invisalign can offer flexibility and confidence while you straighten your smile.
