What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of thin, nearly invisible clear aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners fit comfortably over your teeth and are custom-designed to guide them into their ideal position.

The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss normally without lifestyle limitations—making Invisalign a preferred solution for adults and teens seeking a more flexible, discreet treatment option.

What concerns can Invisalign correct?

Invisalign effectively treats many common orthodontic concerns, including:

 

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps or spacing issues
  • Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
  • Mild to moderate bite misalignment
  • Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

 

Dr. Veligdan evaluates your bite, dental history, and aesthetic goals to determine whether Invisalign is the right option for you.

What happens during my Invisalign consultation?

Your Invisalign journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. During your visit, Dr. Veligdan will:

 

  • Perform a complete oral exam
  • Review your dental health and bite alignment
  • Take digital impressions or 3D scans to map tooth movement
  • Design a personalized treatment plan that shows your expected results

 

These digital models allow you to preview your future smile before treatment begins.

How does Invisalign treatment work?

Once your aligners are created, you’ll wear each set for 20–22 hours per day, switching to a new set every one to two weeks. Each tray makes small adjustments that gradually guide your teeth into alignment.

 

You’ll visit the office periodically so Dr. Veligdan can monitor your progress and ensure your teeth are moving correctly.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Patients choose Invisalign because it offers:

 

  • Discreet appearance – Clear aligners are virtually invisible
  • Comfort – Smooth plastic trays reduce irritation compared to metal brackets
  • Convenience – Remove aligners for meals, brushing, and special events
  • Predictable results – Precise digital planning enhances accuracy
  • Improved oral hygiene – No brackets to trap food or plaque

What happens after Invisalign treatment?

To maintain your results, Dr. Veligdan provides custom retainers and reviews how to care for your new, straighter smile. He also recommends regular cleanings and exams to support long-term oral health.
