Invisalign works by gently guiding your teeth into position using a series of clear, removable trays. These aligners are designed to fit your teeth closely and apply small, consistent pressure over time.
Every one to two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, each one getting your teeth closer to their final alignment. Aligners are worn for 20 to 22 hours each day but can be taken out for meals, brushing or special occasions.
Because they’re nearly invisible, Invisalign is a popular choice among both teens and adults who want a low-profile, effective way to improve their smile.
While both braces and Invisalign align teeth, the experience is very different:
Invisalign: Clear, removable trays that are nearly invisible
Braces: Metal brackets and wires fixed to your teeth
Key differences include:
In some cases, traditional braces are better for complex alignment needs, but Invisalign is ideal for most mild to moderate cases. Your Bella Dental provider will help you choose what’s best for your smile.
Invisalign is highly effective for treating a range of common alignment issues. You may benefit from clear aligners if you have:
As long as the aligners are worn consistently, Invisalign delivers reliable results with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Crooked or misaligned teeth aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they can lead to functional problems too:
Invisalign helps prevent these complications while enhancing your smile’s appearance and function.
At Bella Dental, we guide you through every stage of Invisalign treatment—from your first consultation to the final retainer. Our goal is to make the process straightforward and tailored to your needs.
We start with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and bite. Digital scans are taken to create a detailed 3D image of your current alignment. Your Bella Dental dentist will then discuss your goals and determine whether Invisalign is right for you.
If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll build a step-by-step plan and order your first sets of custom aligners.
Once your trays are ready, you’ll return for a fitting. We’ll check the comfort and explain how to use and clean your aligners.
You’ll wear each set for 1–2 weeks, changing them on the schedule provided. Check-in visits are scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor your progress and provide your next aligners.
Most treatments last 6 to 18 months, depending on your case and how closely you follow the plan.
After your last set of aligners, we’ll provide a custom retainer to hold your teeth in their new position. Retainers help maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting back.
We’ll let you know how often to wear it and check your alignment at future dental exams.
Taking good care of your aligners keeps them clear and working properly. Tips include:
These simple steps help keep your treatment clean, effective, and on track.
