Invisalign FAQs

As long as you wear your Invisalign aligners the recommended 20-22 hours a day, this alternative option can be just as effective as traditional braces for most common dental issues.

Invisalign has been used to treat a lot of oral problems that range from very simple to severe. Invisalign can be used to fix problems that include crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, deep bite, open bite, midline shift, and crossbite. Glass Orthodontics offers a free initial consultation to prospective patients, which will let us know if this treatment is a good fit for you.

Even though not everybody will be a candidate for Invisalign, you probably will be. Drawing on his extensive experience with both Invisalign and traditional braces, Dr. Glass will provide you with a more specific recommendation after your evaluation based on an analysis of your individual orthodontic needs.

The amount of time you’ll be in Invisalign aligners will depend on how serious your particular case is, This can only be determined by Dr. Glass after an initial orthodontic evaluation. However, most Invisalign cases take around 9 to 15 months, while some less complicated cases take as little as 6 months.

Invisalign retainers are made from a patented, lightweight, BPA-free plastic material that is custom-designed to fit precisely over your teeth. This wafer-thin medical material is completely clear and effectively invisible.

Though there may be occasional discomfort associated with the snug fit of starting a new set of aligners, you won't have to worry about the more regular irritation and inconvenience of metal braces.

Invisalign has been available to adults since 1998, and Invisalign Teen was introduced in the summer of 2008. Since its release, over 4 million patients have benefited from this unique aligner system!
