How Does Invisalign Work?

If you’re exploring options to straighten your teeth or your child’s, you’ve likely come across Invisalign® as a gentle option to shift teeth into place.

Soft Touch Dentistry in Brighton and Newton, Massachusetts, offers Invisalign® as a discreet and convenient solution to help level up your smile. With over 10 years of experience as a clinical instructor at Harvard University’s School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Nazila Bidabadi brings unmatched expertise to every treatment plan.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® uses clear, removable plastic aligners instead of metal hardware to straighten your teeth. The aligners are custom-made to perfectly fit your mouth and gradually move the teeth into alignment. Invisalign® is great for both adults and teens who want to improve their smiles without having to get braces.

Many patients choose Invisalign® because it’s nearly invisible, comfortable to wear, and doesn’t require the dietary restrictions that come with braces. You can still enjoy your favorite foods and brush your teeth normally without having to work around wires or brackets.

How Does Invisalign® Work?

The Invisalign® process is straightforward:

1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Bidabadi will evaluate your teeth to determine if Invisalign® is right for you. We use digital impressions and 3D scans to create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Custom Aligners: Based on your treatment plan, we then make a series of aligners just for you. Each aligner is made to shift your teeth gradually.
3. Wearing Aligners: You’ll wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day – you only remove them to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. Every one to two weeks, you’ll switch to the next set of aligners in the series.
4. Gradual Progress: Over time, the aligners move your teeth into their proper positions. Regular check-ins with our dentist in Newton, MA, will help us make sure your treatment is progressing as planned.
