How Invisalign Works

Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to gently move your teeth into the desired position. You’ll wear your aligners for 20-22 hours each day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. And because they’re clear, Invisalign aligners are discreet and nearly invisible.

Here’s how Invisalign works:

  • Consultation and treatment planning — First, we’ll assess your smile to determine if clear aligners are suitable for you. Then, using 3-D scanning technology, we’ll design your treatment plan.
  • Begin wearing your aligners — Once your aligners are back from the lab, you’ll begin wearing them. Each aligner in the series fits snugly over your teeth; you’ll switch to a new aligner every one to two weeks, moving you closer to your perfect smile.
  • Progress checks — You’ll make occasional visits to our dental office so we can monitor your progress and address any questions you may have. Once you complete your treatment, we’ll fit you with a retainer to keep your smile looking its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’ve ever wished you could fix your crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth without the look and feel of traditional wires and brackets, you’re not alone. Many adults and teens hold back on orthodontic treatment because they fear it will interrupt their lifestyle or draw unwanted attention.

At Darren G. Koch, D.D.S., P.A. Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves a discreet path to a confident smile, and clear aligners may be just the solution.

Will Clear Aligners Work for Me?

We offer Invisalign®, the world’s most advanced clear aligner system, to help patients achieve beautifully aligned teeth. Invisalign can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crowded or unevenly spaced teeth
  • Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
  • Open bites and rotated teeth
  • Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

Because each Invisalign treatment begins with a detailed 3-D digital scan and a customized treatment plan, we can accurately predict how your teeth will move and how long your treatment will take.

During your consultation, Dr. Koch will assess your dental health, bite, and alignment goals to determine if clear aligners are the right option for you. In cases of more severe misalignment, we may recommend combining Invisalign with other therapies or exploring alternative options.
