Invisalign Treatment in Elizabeth, NJ
Invisalign works through a series of clear aligners, each one nudging your teeth slightly closer to their final position before you switch to the next. Boca Dental fits patients with a custom Invisalign plan built around their specific alignment needs, giving them a straighter smile that moves at a pace that fits their life.
WHAT IT IS
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made trays instead of traditional metal brackets and wires. Each aligner is designed to apply gentle, targeted pressure that shifts teeth incrementally, with patients moving to a new aligner in the series every one to two weeks as treatment progresses. At Boca Dental, we use Invisalign to treat many of the same concerns traditional braces address, including crowding, gaps, and mild to moderate bite issues, though not every case is a good candidate for aligners over braces. Because the trays are removable, patients can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, something not possible with fixed braces. This makes Invisalign a popular option for adults and teens who want effective treatment without the daily maintenance and dietary restrictions that come with brackets and wires.
HOW IT WORKS
Treatment starts with a consultation and digital scan of your teeth, which we use to map out the entire movement plan from your current alignment to the final result. From that scan, a custom series of aligners is created specifically for your treatment plan, each one slightly different from the last as your teeth gradually shift into position. You'll wear each aligner for about 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything besides water, and brush or floss. Progress is checked at scheduled visits throughout treatment, where we confirm everything is tracking correctly and make adjustments if needed. Once you've worked through the full series of aligners, we typically recommend a retainer to help hold your new smile in place.
HOW IT HELPS
Straightening teeth with a removable, nearly invisible system means patients don't have to change how they eat, brush, or show up to work and social situations the way they might with traditional braces.
