Frequently asked questions about Invisalign invisible aligners for teeth straightening
Many adult patients at Eckland Family Dental are interested in achieving a straighter smile but are hesitant about traditional metal braces. If you are interested in orthodontic treatment, ask our team about invisible aligners for teeth called Invisalign. These aligners provide a more discreet treatment for teenagers and adults worried about the appearance of their smiles while undergoing orthodontic treatment. Below are some frequently asked questions about these invisible aligners for teeth straightening.
What is the Invisalign system?
Invisalign is a contemporary orthodontic procedure that progressively moves teeth into the ideal position using a set of clear, removable aligners. At Eckland Family Dental, we often recommend Invisalign as a comfortable, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces—perfect for teens and adults.
How does Invisalign treatment work?
The Invisalign system uses custom-made aligners that are replaced approximately every one to two weeks. Each new set of aligners gradually moves your teeth closer to their final position. Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are gentle on your gums and cheeks.
What are the benefits of using Invisalign orthodontics over conventional metal bracket-and-wire braces?
Aside from being virtually invisible, Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces. The aligners are removed when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it much easier for our patients to maintain good oral hygiene. They also tend to be more comfortable than metal braces, as no sharp brackets or wires irritate the mouth.
How long does Invisalign treatment take to achieve results?
The length of treatment varies depending on the severity of the orthodontic issues and certain individual factors. On average, Invisalign treatment takes between one year and 18 months.

Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?
Invisalign is a great option for many people seeking orthodontic treatment. However, severe cases may still require traditional braces or other specialized treatments. Our team at Eckland Family Dental will evaluate your specific needs and decide if Invisalign orthodontic treatment is the right choice for you.
Are there any restrictions with Invisalign treatment?
Unlike traditional braces, which may require certain foods to be avoided, removable aligners do not require dietary restrictions. However, to achieve optimal results, wearing the aligners for at least 22 hours a day is important.
