Learn more about what Invisalign® is, how it works, and how it can transform your smile.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment that gradually straightens your teeth without metal or wires. 

Using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign® is similar to braces in that it actively shifts your teeth into the proper position. However, many patients prefer Invisalign® aligners because they’re virtually invisible when worn.

The Invisalign® process begins with Dr. Mullaney taking digital impressions of your mouth and using a 3D computer imaging technology to plan a treatment program that will give you the best results. Once the aligners arrive at our office, you’re ready to start the straightening process. 

Invisalign® must be worn 20-22 hours a day and should only be taken out to eat or drink anything other than water. Depending on your case, you’ll need to switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks. Each set is slightly different and designed to move your teeth in increments.

Invisalign® can treat various orthodontic concerns, including: 

  • Crowding
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Overbites and underbites 
  • Crossbites or open bites
  • Spacing between teeth

The short answer is that it varies. Some patients may complete treatment in under six months, while others exceed a year. Treatment length generally depends on case severity and whether you wear your aligners for the suggested time.

Dr. Mullaney can give you an idea of how long Invisalign® treatment will take during your initial consultation.

No. Invisalign® isn’t direct-to-consumer, which means you must see a dentist or orthodontist to be treated with Invisalign® braces.

During treatment, you’ll also need to visit our Alexandria dental office every 4-6 weeks. This allows Dr. Mullaney to measure your progress and adjust the program as necessary.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign®?

Some of the top benefits of composite fillings include:

  • Discreet appearance – Invisalign® is made of clear plastic that’s custom-fit to your teeth. Most people won’t even know you’re wearing them.
  • Improved oral health – The ability to remove your aligners when brushing and flossing allows you to reach areas you can’t with traditional braces.
  • Eat the foods you want – Unlike braces, you can remove Invisalign® and eat anything you’d like.
  • More comfortable than braces – Invisalign® fits snugly around your teeth, and there are no sharp metal pieces that poke at your cheeks or gums. They also apply gentler pressure to the teeth than braces.
  • Shorter treatment time – By following the instructions given to you by Dr. Mullaney, you can expect a shorter treatment time than traditional braces since there are no brackets that can break and slow down the process.
