What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional dental braces. The treatment uses clear removable aligners made of custom plastic trays to correct dental misalignment. The trays use innovative technology to apply pressure on teeth and move them to their ideal position. You wear a set of aligners for two weeks before switching to the next set until you achieve the desired results.
While they are removable, you must wear the trays for at least 22 hours a day for the best results. Since Invisalign treatment requires commitment, we recommend them to responsible teens and adults who can adhere to the instructions.
Why Should I Get Invisalign?
Choosing Invisalign aligners has numerous benefits for oral health and overall convenience. When you choose this orthodontic option, you can enjoy:
Comfort and Safety: Since Invisalign aligners have no metal brackets and wires, they pose no risk of injuries or gum irritation. Also, the custom trays fit perfectly on your teeth for greater comfort.
Aesthetics: One of the best things about Invisalign aligners is that they consist of transparent plastic, which is barely noticeable. They can correct your dental imperfections without affecting the appearance of your smile.
Convenience: You can remove your Invisalign aligners whenever you're eating or cleaning your teeth. The convenience means you don't have to switch your diet or oral hygiene habits while under treatment. The absence of wires and brackets makes cleaning your teeth easier, preventing oral health issues.
Fewer Dental Visits: You won't need dental appointments for archwire tightening with Invisalign. Instead, you'll just need to visit our office every 4-6 weeks so we can monitor your progress.
Our Lynnwood Invisalign Process
When you come to our practice for Invisalign treatment, our dentist will evaluate your situation and listen to your smile goals to determine if it's an effective option for your needs. We offer Invisalign services to responsible teens and adults with mild to moderate bite problems.
After determining that you're eligible for Invisalign, our dentist will take your dental impressions and send them to the Invisalign lab for the creation of your custom aligners. You'll receive a series of aligners at once so that you can manage your treatment conveniently at home. We'll provide you with all the information you need on how to use your aligners effectively and take good care of them. Once you complete your treatment, we provide Vivera® retainers to maintain your results.

Invisalign FAQs
We know you likely have many questions about Invisalign, and
our team is happy to answer them. Some of the top questions we receive include:
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
Use a soft brush and toothpaste to clean your aligners. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials, as they can scratch the aligners, making them dull and more noticeable. Also, soak your aligners daily in lukewarm water before you brush them. Note that hot water can damage the plastic. Lastly, always rinse the aligners before wearing them.
Will my Invisalign aligners be noticeable to others?
Invisalign aligners are made from clear, thin plastic that is barely noticeable. Most people won't be able to see that you're wearing them unless they're very close. You also won't have any noticeable changes to your speech once your mouth becomes used to the aligners.
How long does it take to complete my treatment?
Depending on the severity of your condition, a complete Invisalign treatment can take anywhere from a few months to a couple of years. Most people finish their Invisalign treatment within 6-18 months.
