Invisalign Q & A

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system that uses removable mouthpieces to straighten your teeth and/or jaw. The mouthpieces are made of SmartTrack®, a thermoplastic that doesn’t contain latex, gluten, or BPA. As a result, treatment is safe for pregnant people and those with allergies.

If you have crooked teeth or a misaligned jaw, Invisalign can transform your smile without brackets, wires, or rubber bands.

What types of alignment problems can Invisalign treat?

At Amazing Smiles Orthodontics, Dr. Yusupov and the team use Invisalign to treat various alignment problems, including:

Crowding
Crooked teeth
Impacted teeth
Overlapping teeth
Misaligned jaw
Spaces between the teeth

Dr. Yusupov also uses Invisalign to treat bite abnormalities, including overbite, crossbite, and underbite.

What does Invisalign treatment involve?

At Amazing Smiles Orthodontics, Invisalign treatment begins with a review of your dental records, a discussion of your treatment goals, and a complete oral exam. During the exam, Dr. Yusupov checks the alignment of your teeth and jaw and assesses how your teeth fit together.

If Dr. Yusupov determines that you can benefit from treatment, he takes digital impressions of your teeth and jaw with an intraoral scanner and uploads them to a computer design program. Dr. Yusupov uses the program to map out the exact movements of your teeth and jaw.

After finalizing the plan, he sends your scans to an Invisalign lab that creates a series of custom orthodontic appliances.

During treatment, you visit Amazing Smiles Orthodontics every few weeks for checkups. At each appointment, Dr. Yusupov monitors your progress and provides you with a new pair of Invisalign aligners. Each new pair puts mild pressure on your teeth and jaw, improving their alignment and position.

How long does treatment with Invisalign take?

Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign typically takes 12-18 months* but it may take longer, depending on the alignment problems treated and your commitment to Dr. Yusupov’s plan. Wear your aligners 20-22 hours each day, only removing them to eat or brush and floss, to ensure the process goes smoothly.

Receiving Your Aligners

Once your treatment plan is designed, you’ll receive your first set of clear aligners. These aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. You’ll wear each set for about 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set in your series. Since the aligners are removable, you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions.
Alternatively, some adults may prefer ceramic braces, which use tooth-colored brackets and wires for a more discreet appearance while providing effective, consistent results. Our team will help you decide which option best fits your lifestyle and treatment goals.

Progress Checkups

Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit us for occasional checkups usually every 6-8 weeks. During these visits, we’ll monitor your progress and make sure the aligners are doing their job. You’ll leave each visit knowing you’re one step closer to your beautiful, confident smile.

Results and Retainers

In most cases, Invisalign takes between 12-18 months, but many patients begin seeing results in just a few months. Once your treatment is complete, you’ll need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. We offer both traditional and clear retainers that help keep your teeth in place for long-term results.
