The Benefits Of Invisalign
Improved Oral Health
Invisalign promotes better oral health by making it easier to clean your teeth properly. Traditional braces can trap food and make flossing a challenge, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. In contrast, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to brush and floss normally. This helps maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment, contributing to healthier teeth and gums in the long run.
Comfort and Convenience
Invisalign aligners are designed for your comfort and convenience. They are made from flexible, BPA-free plastic material that fits snugly over your teeth, eliminating the discomfort of metal brackets and wires. The aligners are also removable, meaning you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual. Plus, with fewer office visits required compared to traditional braces, Invisalign fits seamlessly into your busy lifestyle.
Predictable, Effective Results
Invisalign uses advanced technology to create a detailed treatment plan, providing a clear roadmap to your new smile. This allows Dr. Pia Briones to predict the movement of your teeth accurately and monitor your progress throughout the treatment. With Invisalign, you can see a virtual preview of your final results before starting the treatment, giving you a glimpse of your beautiful, straightened smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Invisalign a better choice than traditional braces?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces. First, the aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet choice for individuals who feel self-conscious about orthodontic treatment. Unlike metal braces, they blend seamlessly with your teeth, so most people won't even notice you're wearing them.
Second, they are removable, meaning you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions, maintaining your usual oral hygiene routine with ease. Lastly, Invisalign typically requires fewer office visits than traditional braces, saving you time and reducing inconvenience. Plus, there are no wires or brackets to adjust, which can also minimize discomfort and visits for repairs.
How long does the Invisalign treatment take?
The length of Invisalign treatment varies based on the complexity of each patient's case. On average, adults can expect treatment to last between 12 to 18 months. For teens, treatment time may vary slightly due to ongoing growth and dental development. However, the timeline depends on how diligently you follow your treatment plan, including wearing your aligners for the recommended amount of time each day. During your consultation, Dr. Briones will evaluate your unique needs and provide a personalized treatment timeline.
Does Invisalign treatment hurt?
Invisalign treatment is generally comfortable, but you may experience some mild discomfort, especially when you first start wearing your aligners or switch to a new set. This is often described as a feeling of pressure, which is a good sign that your teeth are moving into their correct positions. The discomfort typically subsides after a few days as your mouth adjusts. Unlike traditional braces, there are no sharp brackets or wires to cause irritation to the inside of your mouth, making Invisalign a more comfortable option overall.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
To achieve optimal results, it is essential to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. This means you should only remove them when eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, or flossing. Consistency is key to ensuring your treatment progresses on schedule. Failing to wear your aligners for the recommended time could extend your treatment duration or affect the final results.
