Is Invisalign Right for Me?

Invisalign is an orthodontic system that allows you to straighten your teeth without the discomfort and unsightly appearance of metal brackets and wires. Unlike braces, Invisalign’s clear aligner trays are easy to slip in and out so that you can eat what you want and brush and floss without difficulty. Our Santa Clara dentist can help you decide if Invisalign is right for you.

You may be a candidate for Invisalign if you:

• Have teeth that are crooked, gapped or crowded
• Have certain bite abnormalities
• Are a teen or adult
• Are committed to treatment
• Want a discreet treatment option

For the best results, Invisalign must be worn at least 20 hours a day and should only be removed for meals, snacks or dental hygiene purposes. Most people get used to wearing the aligners quickly and find them comfortable and easy to wear. Our dentist will schedule periodic appointments to monitor your progress, and you will wear new aligner trays every two weeks. Each set of aligners gradually moves your teeth a little more until your smile is completely straight.
