What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, revolutionizing how people straighten their teeth. Instead of traditional braces and wires, Invisalign uses a series of removable, clear aligners that are virtually invisible and much more comfortable to wear.
Each aligner moves your teeth a small amount toward your final result. Typically, you will wear one aligner for two weeks before swapping it for a new one to continue the process. It is popular among adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the discomfort and visible appearance of traditional braces.
Invisalign can treat a wide range of dental issues, such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps in teeth.

What Our Invisalign Treatment Involves
Your smile journey with Invisalign treatment in Melissa and McKinney, TX, begins with a visit to our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Schuster, who has received specialized training in Invisalign treatment. In your first consultation, Dr. Schuster will evaluate your teeth and jaw to see if Invisalign aligns with your smile goals. If it is, you can expect the following process:
1. Digital Impressions: Dr. Schuster scans your teeth to get a 3D impression of your current alignment
2. Strategy: Dr. Schuster will ask you about your history and your smile goals. Based on these answers, she will develop a customized treatment plan for you
3. Development: Your digital impressions are sent to a lab. Dr. Schuster works closely with lab technicians who have decades of orthodontic experience to create a series of clear aligner trays tailor-made to give you your dream smile.
4. Preparation: We clean your teeth and prep them for the clear aligners
5. Fitting: Dr. Schuster will fit your first set of invisible aligner trays, and you are officially on your way to your ideal smile. These trays will be changed out every two weeks until you reach the end of your treatment plan.
The length of your Invisalign treatment varies depending on your case's complexity, but on average it takes between 9 and 18 months. You will be seeing Dr. Schuster regularly so she can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Discreet
Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without dealing with the appearance of traditional metal braces.
Comfortable
Invisalign aligners are made of a smooth plastic material, making them much more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
Versatile
Invisalign can treat several dental issues, such as:
- overbites
- underbites
- crossbites
- gaps in your teeth
Removable
Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier for you to maintain proper oral hygiene during the teeth straightening process.
Why Our Invisalign Treatment Is Painless
Gradual Straightening Process
Invisalign treatment is designed to straighten your teeth gradually and comfortably. Many patients report minimal discomfort during their Invisalign treatment, and any discomfort they experience is typically mild and short-lived.
Soft, Flexible Material
The clear aligners are made of a soft, flexible material that gently shifts your teeth into place. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners do not cause any irritation or soreness to the soft tissues of your mouth. You may feel pressure or discomfort when you first start wearing a new set of aligners, but this usually subsides within a few days.
Clear Instructions
If you follow Dr. Schusters guidelines and wear your aligners as directed, you can ensure a successful and pain-free treatment experience. If you experience discomfort during your Invisalign treatment, give us a call and we can provide tips and advice on how to manage it.
Comfortable and Minimally Invasive
Overall, Invisalign is a safe and effective cosmetic treatment designed to be comfortable and minimally invasive. If you want to straighten your teeth with the least amount of discomfort, Invisalign is the option for you!
What Makes A Good Candidate For Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that can help you achieve the straight, confident smile you've been dreaming about. There are some factors that will determine whether Invisalign treatment is right for you:
1. Oral Health: Invisalign is most effective for patients with healthy gums and teeth. If you have cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues, these need to be addressed before you can start orthodontic treatment.
2. Dental Alignment: Invisalign can treat a wide range of dental alignment issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps in teeth. However, more complex cases may require alternative treatment options.
3. Age: Invisalign is suitable for both adults and teens. While younger patients may still have some changes in their dental structure, Invisalign is still an effective option.
4. Lifestyle: Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to eat and clean your teeth compared to traditional braces. However, if you play contact sports or musical instruments, Invisalign may not be the best option for you.
5. Compliance: To achieve your desired results, you need to wear your aligner trays consistently. You are a good candidate for Invisalign if you are committed to wearing your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day.
