Understanding Invisalign
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth gradually. These aligners are custom-made for each patient, making them a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces.
What Does Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crooked teeth
- Overbites and underbites
- Gaps between teeth
- Crowded teeth
The Benefits of Invisalign
Discreet Appearance
One of the most significant advantages of Invisalign is its nearly invisible appearance. The clear aligners are barely noticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth with confidence, whether you're at work, socializing, or attending special events.
Comfortable Fit
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth snugly. They are made of smooth, comfortable plastic, eliminating the irritation often associated with traditional braces' wires and brackets.
Removability
Invisalign aligners are removable, meaning you can take them out for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. This makes it easier to maintain your regular diet and ensures proper cleaning of your teeth during treatment.
Shorter Treatment Times
In many cases, Invisalign treatment can achieve results in a shorter time frame compared to traditional braces. The treatment duration varies depending on your specific needs but is often completed within 12 to 18 months.
Improved Oral Hygiene
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth as you normally would. This maintains excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Enhanced Comfort
Invisalign aligners lack the wires and brackets that can cause discomfort and irritation associated with traditional braces. This means a more comfortable orthodontic experience for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment typically take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic issues. On average, treatment is completed within 12 to 18 months. Dr. Jennifer Hensley will provide a personalized treatment timeline during your consultation.
Are Invisalign aligners comfortable to wear?
Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic that eliminates the irritation often associated with traditional braces' wires and brackets. Most patients find them very comfortable to wear.
How often should I wear my Invisalign aligners?
For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene routines.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners in place?
It's recommended to remove your Invisalign aligners while eating and drinking to prevent damage or staining. Afterward, you should brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners.
How often do I need to see the dentist during Invisalign treatment?
Regular checkups with Dr. Jennifer Hensley are essential during Invisalign treatment. Typically, appointments are scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks to monitor progress and provide new aligner sets as needed.
Are there any dietary restrictions with Invisalign?
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions because they are removed during meals. However, maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding excessive sugary or acidic foods is essential for overall oral health.
How do I clean and care for my Invisalign aligners?
To clean your Invisalign aligners, use a soft-bristle toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, as it can distort the aligners. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth regularly is crucial.

After completing your Invisalign treatment, Dr. Jennifer Hensley will discuss post-treatment options, such as wearing retainers. Retainers help maintain the newly achieved alignment and prevent teeth from shifting back.
Does dental insurance cover Invisalign?
