What to Expect from a Invisalign by Church Avenue Orthodontics

When most people think of braces, a number of unpleasant images come to mind – ugly metal wires and brackets, mouth abrasions, and painful, lengthy sessions in the orthodontist’s chair. Perhaps many of these people also believe that traditional braces are still the only way to get the straight, evenly-spaced teeth they’ve always wanted.

The good news is that the field of orthodontics has come a long way over the past few decades. Thanks to Invisalign, it’s now possible to use aligners instead of braces to straighten teeth. These aligners are practically invisible. They’re also removable, meaning you can brush and floss your teeth exactly as you normally would, allowing you to keep your teeth and gums healthy while you straighten and perfect your smile.

Church Avenue Orthodontics will develop a series of aligners custom made just for you. You’ll wear each set for around two weeks, removing them only when you’re eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. You’ll visit our Church Avenue Orthodontics office every 8 to 10 weeks just to check in and ensure the straightening process is progressing as it should. Over the weeks and months, your teeth will gradually move and straighten. In most cases, we will require you to wear between 18 and 30 aligners. The total treatment time typically ranges between 6 and 15 months, after which you’ll be able to reveal your perfectly straight smile to the world.
