What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment option that doesn't require any metal wires or brackets. Instead, Invisalign use a series of clear, removable trays to straighten your teeth.
The aligners you wear during treatment are made from transparent SmartTrack® material, making them nearly invisible when you wear them. They are easy to remove to eat, drink, brush, and floss, so you can carry on with your life without making any major adjustments.
How Does Invisalign Work?
The first step in your Invisalign treatment is a free consultation with one of our expert orthodontists in Stillwater or Woodbury. During your appointment, Dr. Henseler or Dr. Kocian will thoroughly examine your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign® clear aligner treatment is right for you.
Your orthodontist will use the information they collect to create a 3D computer model of your teeth as the basis for your aligners. We'll send this information to a special lab to print your aligners. Once your aligners are in we will call to set up an appointment where we will give you specific instructions, you'll wear each tray for a few weeks before switching to the next in the set to keep your teeth moving.
Once you start treatment, you'll wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you work through your trays, your teeth will shift into alignment, with noticeable results after just a few weeks.
After you finish your final set of aligners, you'll unveil your beautiful new smile! Like with braces, you'll need to wear a retainer after treatment to maintain your results long-term.
Who Can Use Invisalign?
Invisalign is a popular and effective way to straighten teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners. At H&K Orthodontics, we use Invisalign to treat a wide variety of orthodontic issues in patients of all ages—from mild crowding to more complex bite problems.
Each Invisalign tray is custom-made to fit your unique smile, making it a versatile option for many treatment plans. That said if your case involves more complex orthodontic needs—like significant jaw alignment or severe crowding—traditional braces may still offer the added control and support required for the best results.
Why Choose Invisalign
If you're unhappy with your smile, it can affect your daily life. Whether you're in school or work, being social often means showing off that smile, so it's our goal at H&K Orthodontics to help you love yours.
Invisalign is a great option to correct oral issues, touch-up a smile that's been treated before, or give you a boost in confidence when it comes to your appearance. No matter your reason for seeking treatment with Invisalign® clear aligners, our team will help you get the results you want.
Benefits of Invisalign
Discreet Orthodontic Treatment: Invisalign uses SmartTrack material fit snugly against your teeth, so they are nearly invisible while you wear them and won't show up in photos.
No Dietary Restrictions: Since you remove Invisalign® clear aligners to eat, you won't have the dietary restrictions that come with traditional braces. You can still enjoy eating your favorite crunchy, hard, or sticky foods!
Easy to Brush & Floss: Keeping the additional nooks and crannies free of debris can be tricky with traditional braces. But you can remove Invisalign® clear aligners for oral hygiene, which means brushing and flossing are as easy as ever.
More Comfortable: They are smooth, meaning that, they do not have sharp corners, and should not cause small cuts and scratches inside the mouth. This makes the treatment experience with clear aligners very comfortable.
