  • Gapped teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Openbite
  • Crowded teeth

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is the clear way to straighten your teeth, using a set of customized aligners made specifically for your orthodontic needs. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and clear BPA-free material that you wear over your teeth. On top of being virtually undetectable, Invisalign is also removable, so you can remove them before you eat, eliminating the food restrictions that often come with conventional braces! This also means you can maintain a healthy oral hygiene regimen, as no wires or brackets create those hard-to-reach spots.

What to Expect

  • Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into proper alignment.
  • The number of aligners in your series depends on the severity of your bite problem, as well as the recommended movements that Dr. Ben Belavsky, Dr. Kristina Sakas Katz and the Rosen Orthodontics team have planned out for you.
  • Every week, you will switch to a new set of aligners, gradually making your way through the series until your treatment is complete.
  • The aligners must be worn at least 22 hours per day, except during eating and normal hygiene, to achieve a beautiful smile. 

Benefits of Invisalign

  • Virtually Invisible - Invisalign is a series of clear, removable, custom-made aligners that uses no metal or brackets.
  • Comfortable - Each set of aligners are worn for one week to gradually and gently move teeth into proper alignment.
  • Hygienic – Aligners are removed prior to eating, and brushing and flossing are unobstructed compared with traditional wire and metal braces
  • Completely Customized - Your teeth will move each week in gradual, pre-programmed increments based on the custom treatment plan made for you by Dr. Kristina Sakas Katz and Dr. Ben Belavsky.

Cost of Invisalign

  • Every patient’s case is unique, and thus every patient receives a completely customized treatment plan made by Dr. Ben Belavsky and Dr. Kristina Sakas Katz, therefore, cost may vary from patient to patient. Your insurance may play a role in this as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How quickly will I see changes?

    You will begin to see changes within a matter of weeks! Invisalign uses custom-made aligners that are designed to specifically move your teeth into their proper alignment comfortably and quickly. These changes will occur when your aligners are worn for the recommended 22 hours per day.

  • How long does treatment take?

    Every patient’s teeth and bite are different, so treatment length can vary. On average, patients experience quick and comfortable treatment with fewer visits than patients that wear braces, but the best way to get an exact answer is to schedule a complimentary consultation.

  • How does Invisalign move teeth?

    Tooth movement with Invisalign is very straightforward! Small, tooth-colored attachments may be bonded to some of your teeth to act as a handle that the clear aligner can grip when it is moving your teeth along a pre-programmed path. Each week, you will change aligners to the next one in the series to achieve gradual change in your alignment.

  • Is Invisalign safe?

    Absolutely! Invisalign® has been FDA approved since 1998 and is made from a medical grade resin that does not contain BPA (bisphenol-A).

  • Who can be treated with Invisalign?

    Nearly anyone can be treated with clear aligners, including children, teenagers and adults! Certain very complex cases may benefit from braces, however, Invisalign can be predictably used to treat spacing, crowding, overbites, underbites and crossbites!

  • How do I keep my Invisalign clean?

    Our office will provide you with cleaning tablets to help your aligners stay fresh and clean, and you can also use a regular toothbrush and toothpaste to remove any plaque or debris that may accumulate. The greatest benefit of using a removable aligner for orthodontic treatment is that it allows unsurpassed comfort with hygiene.

  • What do I do to keep my teeth straight after I have finished treatment with Invisalign?

    Our office will provide you with retainers to keep your smile and teeth perfect! Additionally, you may wish to consider getting a bonded retainer (such as Memotain) which also helps with maintaining your beautiful smile.
