Invisalign aligners are orthodontic devices constructed of transparent plastic. They treat gapped teeth, crowded teeth, spacing problems, and bad bites. Invisalign technology develops a treatment plan that gradually realigns your teeth by utilizing the current and final straightened position of your teeth. These clear aligners straighten the teeth by exerting pressure on the teeth over the course of many months. Dr. Ronald Ayzin at Laguna Dental Center has experience in Invisalign since 2017 and will help you boost your confidence with a straighter smile!
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign are orthodontic appliances and a clear plastic alternative to dental braces that are used to straighten teeth. It is constructed from SmartTrack, a flexible thermoplastic polymer. This type of orthodontic treatment is less noticeable because there are no metal brackets and wires. Teeth gaps, irregular bites, and mild to moderate crowding and spacing issues can all be successfully treated using Invisalign.

It also contains compliance indicator dots that allow the dentist to check if patients are wearing their aligners as directed.
- Invisalign First – Young children and patients who qualify for interceptive orthodontics are ideal candidates for Invisalign First. With this type of Invisalign treatment, orthodontic issues like crowding, spacing, and narrow dental arches can be treated for children who are still growing.
- Invisalign Express – Invisalign Express only necessitates wearing five to ten sets of aligners. It is best suited for patients who have mild spacing problems or those who have a moderate relapse from a previous orthodontic procedure. Invisalign Express only lasts three to six months because there is less to fix.
How does Invisalign work?
- Initial Consultation
Your dentist may swiftly and precisely scan your teeth in 3D with the use of the iTero Element® scanner to build a customized treatment plan just for you. Even before you begin your Invisalign treatment, you’ll be able to see a preview of your new smile thanks to this.
- Wearing Your Aligners
Your dentist will examine your smile to ensure that they fit properly when you receive your initial set of customized clear aligners.
- Regular Dental Visits
You should schedule visits with your dentist every few weeks so they can monitor your progress and give you your next set of aligners.
- Maintaining Your New Smile with Retainers
Following the completion of your Invisalign treatment, there is one final step: wearing the retainer. A retainer is needed in order to help the teeth maintain their new positions while the supporting bone and connective tissue grow around the base to maintain your new smile.

How Long Do Invisalign Results last?
According to a systematic study published on the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, the results of wearing Invisalign aligners for several months are meant to last a lifetime. Nevertheless, routine aftercare is still required to preserve your new smile. If the new positions of your teeth are not maintained, teeth may eventually reposition themselves to their former positions. Therefore, retainers are frequently worn after Invisalign treatment because they help keep the teeth in their new positions.

FAQs for Invisalign
Can teeth decay under an Invisalign?
Yes, tooth decay may happen if you don't practice good dental hygiene. In order to keep your teeth healthy and avoid cavities or tooth decay, it's essential to maintain your daily dental hygiene routine during your Invisalign treatment. Additionally, before wearing your Invisalign trays again, they must be completely cleaned.
How long after finishing Invisalign Treatment can I eat?
After receiving your Invisalign aligners, you are free to eat and drink anything you choose, as long as you take them off first. Before you eat or drink anything, whether it be a short snack or a big meal, you must always take out your aligners. There's a chance you'll damage the aligners and delay your treatment if you don’t remove them.
