Clear Braces / Invisalign
Aligners, also known as invisible braces or clear braces, are a type of orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth and correct mild to moderate dental misalignments. They are a popular alternative to traditional braces, as they offer a discreet and more aesthetically pleasing way to achieve a straighter smile. Clear aligners or Invisible aligners are custom-made, removable trays made from transparent plastic material. Each aligner is designed to fit closely over the teeth and gradually move them into their desired positions over time. Patients typically receive a series of aligners, and they switch to a new set every few weeks as their teeth progress through the treatment process.
A person may consider getting aligners treatment, also known as invisible braces or clear braces, in the following situations:
- Mild to Moderate Dental Misalignments: Clear aligners are most effective for correcting mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as crowding, spacing, mild overbites, and mild underbites.
- Crooked or Misaligned Teeth: If a person has crooked or misaligned teeth that affect the appearance of their smile, clear aligners can be a suitable treatment option to straighten the teeth.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Clear aligners can close small to moderate gaps or spaces between the teeth, improving the overall alignment of the smile.
- Discreet Orthodontic Treatment: Individuals who prefer a more discreet and less visible orthodontic option often choose clear aligners, as they are nearly invisible when worn.
At Ridgetop Dental International you will undergo the following steps or procedure during your aligners or invisible braces or clear aligners treatment –
- Initial Consultation: The first step is a consultation with our orthodontist. The orthodontist will examine the patient’s teeth, take photographs & X-rays, and will discuss the options available to achieve the desired outcome. If clear aligners are deemed suitable for the patient’s orthodontic needs, a treatment plan will be provided.
- Digital Scanning or Impressions: The orthodontist will take digital scans of the patient’s teeth or traditional dental impressions. These scans are used to create a 3D model of the teeth, allowing the orthodontist to plan the entire aligners treatment process.
- Treatment Plan and Custom Aligners: Using the 3D model, the orthodontist designs a series of custom-made aligners that will gradually move the teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is slightly different, applying controlled forces to specific teeth.
- Simulation (Video): The patient is provided with a simulation of the manner in the teeth movement during the treatment process for a better understanding and visualization of the desired outcome.
- Receiving the Aligners: Once the aligners are fabricated, the patient will receive their first set of aligners and instructions on how to wear and care for them.
- Wearing the Aligners: Patients are required to wear their aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only when eating, drinking (other than water), brushing, and flossing.
- Progression and Switching Aligners: Every few weeks, the patient will switch to a new set of aligners, progressing through the series as the teeth gradually move into alignment. Regular check-ups with the orthodontist are scheduled to monitor the progress and make any necessary adjustments.
- Treatment Completion: Once the last set of aligners is worn, the teeth should be in their desired positions. In some cases, a retainer may be provided to help maintain the achieved results.
One of the primary advantages of clear aligners is their nearly invisible appearance, making them an appealing choice for individuals who want a discreet orthodontic option. Additionally, the aligners are removable, allowing patients to take them out during eating, brushing, and flossing, which makes maintaining oral hygiene more manageable compared to traditional braces.

They offer a more comfortable and convenient option to achieve a straighter, healthier smile.

FAQs On Clear Braces / Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign works by gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position using a series of custom-made aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gradually moving the teeth until they reach their final alignment. Treatment progress is monitored by your orthodontist with regular check-up appointments.
Invisalign is suitable for both teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and certain bite problems. Your orthodontist will evaluate your specific case to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and your treatment goals. On average, treatment with Invisalign takes about 12 to 18 months, but some cases may take longer or shorter durations.
Invisalign aligners are designed to be comfortable to wear, and most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. You may feel some pressure or tightness when you switch to a new set of aligners, but this is usually temporary and fades as your teeth adjust.
For optimal results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except for water), brushing, and flossing. Consistently wearing your aligners as directed by your orthodontist is essential for successful treatment.
Yes, one of the advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink without any restrictions. However, it's important to remove your aligners before consuming anything other than water to prevent staining or damaging the aligners.
To keep your Invisalign aligners clean and clear, rinse them with lukewarm water before and after wearing them. You can also gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid using hot water or harsh cleaners, as they can damage the aligners.
Yes, wearing a retainer after Invisalign treatment is essential to maintain the results and prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position. Our orthodontist will provide specific instructions on how long and how often to wear your retainer.
The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on factors such as the complexity of your case, the duration of treatment, and your location. Ridgetop Dental offers payment plans or financing options to help make Invisalign treatment more affordable.
