What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth. Patients wear each aligner for two weeks before switching to the next in the series, progressively correcting misalignments.
The removable aligners are made of plastic and fit directly over the teeth, making them virtually invisible. This means you can achieve your smile goals without diet restrictions or feeling embarrassed about braces.
Whether you have minor imperfections or more pronounced alignment issues, we’ll discuss Invisalign vs. braces and what is best for you.
Process of Invisalign Treatment
Our Invisalign treatment process is easy and convenient with our supportive team. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
Our Minden orthodontists will ask questions and assess your malocclusion to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D scans of your mouth, we’ll map out each step and show you Invisalign before and after predictions.
Wearing Your Aligners
Aligners must be worn for a set amount of time in a specific order. While you can remove the aligners to eat or brush your teeth, you need to wear them for about 22 hours a day.
Monitoring Progress
During treatment, you will periodically check in with your dentist to ensure progress is on track.

What Kind of Bite Problems Can Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign is a versatile treatment that can correct different types of orthodontic issues, including:
- Gaps
- Overcrowding
- Open bites
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
Your dentist may also recommend Invisalign attachments that can help with teeth that need significant movement to align the smile. The nearly invisible attachments are placed on the teeth to give the aligners something to push against and apply additional pressure.
The only way to see if Invisalign is the right solution for your issues is to consult an experienced orthodontist. Contact Absolute Dental to schedule an appointment.
What Are Some Considerations When Wearing Invisalign Trays?
If you’re considering Invisalign, here are some things to keep in mind:
- You must wear your aligners as directed
- You will need to clean your aligners daily
- You should handle your aligner gently
- You must remove the trays before eating
- Aligners can become warped by heat
Patients who forget to wear their aligners or fail to switch to the next tray could prolong treatment. Also, failing to keep the aligners clean can affect your oral health. If you’re unsure about your treatment schedule or care instructions, ask your dentist for assistance.
How To Clean Invisalign
Invisalign care is crucial to maintain good oral hygiene and healthy teeth. Rinse the aligners with water before and after removal. Each night, use a soft toothbrush and mild liquid soap to clean the trays and remove food and bacteria.
You can also soak your aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals to disinfect them and remove odors that can cause bad breath.

Advantages of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
Millions of people have chosen Invisalign to straighten their teeth because of the many advantages this treatment has over traditional braces.
Invisible Treatment
Because Invisalign trays fit perfectly over the teeth, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
No Dietary Restriction
You remove your trays before eating, so you don’t have to avoid foods and beverages as you would with traditional braces.
Comfortable
Invisalign is designed to fit snugly and comfortably, which lowers the risk of irritation in the mouth.
Better Oral Hygiene
It’s easy for food and bacteria to hide under metal brackets. With Invisalign, you can thoroughly brush and floss for better oral health.
Cons of Getting Invisalign
Before deciding on orthodontic treatment, review the pros and cons of Invisalign. Some downsides may include:
- Successful treatment depends on patient cooperation
- Removable aligners can be damaged or lost
- Failing to wear aligners for 22 hours a day can derail your progress
- Invisalign may not be appropriate for severe misalignments
- The cost of Invisalign is likely not covered by insurance

Invisalign FAQs
The cost of Invisalign treatment will depend on the severity of your misalignment, the length of treatment, and whether insurance will cover some of the cost.
You must wear your Invisalign trays for 20-22 hours per day. If you leave the trays out too long, your teeth will start to shift to their original positions.
For many patients, Invisalign has more benefits than traditional braces. However, you should speak with an orthodontist to see what treatment is best.
You may experience mild discomfort and temporary pressure after inserting a new tray. This will subside the longer you wear the aligner tray.
No, you should not eat while wearing your trays. Eating while wearing them can damage the aligners and get food stuck in them, which can cause plaque, bad breath, and tooth decay.
