“From the moment I entered i felt welcomed. Dr. Peters walked me through the whole Invisalign process from beginning to end and really listened to what concerns I had about my smile. Their staff was friendly and very easy to deal with. I am so happy with my results that I sent my daughter and husband. Both have completed Invisalign with Dr. Peters and Dr. Kubo. I highly recommend their office for all your dental needs.”
“Dr. Peters and Dr. Kubo have treated our family members with major improvements in each of our cases. Without their guidance, we otherwise would not have thought to have each of our airways evaluated and the proper steps taken to correct existing conditions contributing to our dental-orthodontic issues. This practice treats patients holistically to address underlying conditions affecting overall health beyond general dentistry.”
“Love everyone at this office! The staff banter like family and make you forget why you are there. All 3 generations of our family have been provided implants, crowns, braces, and whitening, to name just a few. Every procedure has been a breeze in terms of the time spent with the Drs and staff. The Drs. listen, give you options, and always has our best interests. Can’t recommend them enough!”

Invisalign is a technique in which transparent aligners made out of SmartTrack material are utilized to correct your teeth. Basically, they’re a set of clear, removable aligners that work to straighten your teeth over time just like braces, but without using wires or brackets at all.
Another one of the most popular Invisalign FAQs is: how do they work?
Invisalign works similarly to metal braces do; their main advantage is the fact that they are clear as opposed to braces. Your aligners are designed to put gentle force on your teeth, in different areas, and with careful timing, to bring them into a more aesthetic and functional alignment. Each aligner is designed to make only the slightest of adjustments.
Aligners are swapped out usually about every two weeks, to continue putting pressure on your teeth. This ensures that the dentist can continue monitoring the progress of your teeth and alter the aligners if necessary. Eventually, the incremental progress will slowly accumulate, and you’ll discover that your smile is better than ever.
When compared to traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners have so many more benefits. They both straighten your teeth for you, but with Invisalign you don’t have those unsightly metal brackets and wires in your mouth and you don’t have to restrict your diet in any way. In addition, the smooth, clear aligners are practically invisible in your mouth and very comfortable to wear. It is also easier to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy with Invisalign because the aligners are removable. You are not trying to brush and floss around brackets and wires like you are with metal braces.
Treatment length varies depending on your particular alignment issues, but in general, Invisalign treatment for adults usually can be completed in twelve to eighteen months. Treatment for tweens and tweens usually lasts as long as traditional braces, about two to three years. The great thing about Invisalign aligners is that because they are clear you will be able to start seeing a straighter smile within the first few weeks.
One of the most popular Invisalign FAQs is, how often do I have to wear my aligners? This is crucial to the effectiveness of your treatment. You must wear your aligners every day for 20 to 22 hours in order for them to work. When you take your aligners out to eat and drink or to clean them and your teeth, make sure you put them right back in. Missing large gaps of treatment time will derail your treatment which can be very frustrating. And typically you will receive a new set of aligners every two weeks.

While there is pressure on your teeth to align them, many patients are not very affected by this. However, it is entirely possible that you may feel a little discomfort and soreness, especially when you are starting with a new set of liners.
This discomfort should clear up within a few days and should never exceed pain beyond some general sensitivity. As your teeth and mouth become used to the pressure from the Invisalign, you’ll find that the soreness dissipates and you can no longer notice the pressure at all.
For the early days, you can utilize minor pain medication, such as that for headaches, to help alleviate the discomfort if necessary.
