Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to involve metal brackets or wires. Invisalign® offers a modern, nearly invisible way to align your smile using a series of custom-made clear trays. At Shawano Family Dentistry, we’re proud to provide this advanced orthodontic option for patients who want comfort, convenience, and confidence throughout their treatment.
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Instead of traditional braces, Invisalign relies on advanced digital technology to design a personalized series of trays that fit your teeth precisely.
Each aligner is made from a smooth, BPA‑free material that’s comfortable to wear and virtually invisible- making it a popular choice for adults and teens who want a discreet treatment option.
Step 1: Your Personalized Invisalign Treatment Plan
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation at Shawano Family Dentistry. During this visit, we evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health to determine whether clear aligners are the right fit for your goals.
If Invisalign is a good option, we take digital scans of your teeth. These scans create a detailed 3D model that allows us to map out your entire treatment from start to finish. You’ll be able to see a preview of how your smile will look once treatment is complete. This is one of the most exciting parts of the process!
Step 2: Custom-Made Aligners Designed Just for You
Using your digital scans, Invisalign creates a series of aligners that are customized to your unique tooth movement plan. Each tray is slightly different, applying gentle pressure to specific teeth to guide them into place.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks before switching to the next one. This gradual progression ensures predictable, controlled movement without the discomfort associated with tightening traditional braces.
Most patients complete treatment in 12–18 months, though some cases may be shorter depending on your needs.
Step 3: Comfortable, Convenient Progress
Invisalign aligners are removable, which means:
- You can eat your favorite foods without restrictions
- Brushing and flossing stay simple
- You avoid the irritation of brackets and wires
You’ll visit us for quick check-ins to ensure your teeth are moving exactly as planned. These appointments are typically short and easy. This is just a chance for us to monitor your progress and keep your smile on track.
