If you’re looking for a discreet, comfortable way to straighten your smile, Invisalign® may be the solution you’ve been waiting for. At Jay Zimmerman Dentistry, we offer Invisalign as a modern alternative to traditional braces, helping patients achieve healthier, more confident smiles.
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next set, gently guiding your teeth into place over time.
Because the aligners are removable and nearly invisible, Invisalign fits seamlessly into everyday life.
Who Is Invisalign® Best For?
Invisalign is a great option for teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Your dentist will evaluate your smile and determine whether Invisalign or another orthodontic treatment option is best for your needs.
Benefits of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
Many patients choose Invisalign because it offers several advantages over traditional metal braces:
- Clear and discreet: Most people won’t notice you’re wearing aligners
- Removable aligners: Eat, brush, and floss without restrictions
- Comfortable treatment: Smooth plastic aligners reduce irritation
- Fewer office visits: No tightening appointments required
- Predictable results: Advanced digital planning shows your expected treatment outcome
What Is the Invisalign Process Like?
Treatment begins with a consultation and digital scan of your teeth. Using advanced technology, your dentist creates a customized treatment plan and a series of aligners tailored to your smile goals. You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day and switch to a new set as directed.
Most Invisalign treatments take 12–18 months, though timelines vary depending on individual needs.
Maintaining Results After Invisalign
After treatment, wearing a retainer is essential to keep your teeth in their new positions. Your dentist will provide guidance on long-term maintenance to protect the results of your orthodontic treatment.
