Invisalign
Invisalign Clear Aligners for Windsor & Riverside Smiles.
Invisalign is a nearly invisible orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten and align teeth, providing a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. It's proven technology designed to give you the smile you've always wanted.
A Clearer Way to Straighten Your Smile
To help you get a more beautiful smile, we use a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth. You wear a set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each set of aligners with the next in the series, your teeth will gradually move until they reach the position we've prescribed for you.
Invisalign can be used to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults and teens throughout Windsor. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can help:
- Overly crowded teeth
- Widely spaced teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Suitable for both adults and teens
Common questions
Invisalign FAQs
How does Invisalign actually work?
You wear a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. Each set is worn for about two weeks before you move on to the next in the series, following the treatment plan your dentist maps out for you from the start.
Is Invisalign noticeable when I'm wearing it?
The aligners are made of clear, smooth plastic that sits closely over your teeth, so most people won't notice you're wearing them at all — a big reason it's a popular choice for adults who'd rather not have a mouth full of metal.
Can I eat and drink normally during treatment?
Yes. Because the aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions — just take them out to eat or drink anything other than water, then brush before putting them back in.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
For the best results, most patients wear their aligners between 20 and 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Your dentist will confirm the ideal wear schedule for your specific treatment plan.
Is Invisalign more expensive than traditional braces?
Cost varies based on how complex your case is and how many aligners your treatment requires — for many patients, it ends up comparable to traditional braces. We'll go over pricing and payment options at your consultation, so there are no surprises.
Will my dental insurance help cover Invisalign?
Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign the same way they'd cover traditional braces. Coverage varies by provider and plan, so our team can help you look into your specific benefits before you start treatment.
Will I need to wear a retainer once treatment is finished?
Most patients are advised to wear a retainer after finishing any orthodontic treatment, Invisalign included, to keep teeth from gradually shifting back. Your dentist will let you know what's recommended for your case.
Is Invisalign a good option for teens, not just adults?
Yes — Invisalign is designed to treat most of the same alignment issues in teens as in adults, from crowding and spacing to overbites and underbites. We're happy to talk through whether it's the right fit for your teen at a consultation.
