What is Invisalign® and Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Invisalign is a sophisticated orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gently and gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional orthodontic solutions, Invisalign aligners are removable, practically invisible, and exceptionally comfortable.
The Material Advantage: SmartTrack®
Invisalign aligners are fabricated from the patented SmartTrack® thermoplastic material. This advanced material is:
Nearly Invisible
Designed to be worn discreetly without impacting your appearance.
Highly Effective
Applies gentle, consistent force to shift teeth predictably.
Comfortable
Free of sharp edges, wires, or brackets that can cause irritation.
Safe
FDA-approved and free of common allergens, including BPA, BPS, latex, and gluten.
Your Step-by-Step Invisalign Treatment Journey
Digital Consultation & Scan
We begin by taking detailed 3D digital scans (no messy putty impressions needed) of your teeth. Dr. Ahmedo uses this data to create a precise ClinCheck® treatment plan. This plan digitally maps out the exact movement of every tooth, allowing you to see a virtual, step-by-step preview of your new smile before you even start treatment.
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Once you approve the digital plan, a series of custom aligners are manufactured using the proprietary SmartTrack® material. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day for about one to two weeks, as directed by Dr. Ahmedo. Since the aligners are removable, you can enjoy all your favorite foods and maintain your normal oral hygiene routine.
Progress Checks
You will visit our San Diego dental office every six to eight weeks so Dr. Ahmedo can monitor your progress and provide you with the next sets of aligners in your series.
Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign®
The total treatment time is highly individualized based on the severity of your alignment issues. However, the average treatment time for adults ranges between 12 to 18 months. Minor corrections can take as little as six months. Consistency in wearing your aligners (20–22 hours per day) is the single most important factor for achieving results on schedule.
Cleaning your Invisalign aligners is simple. Always rinse them with cool water immediately after removing them. Brush them gently with a toothbrush and mild soap or the official Invisalign Cleaning Crystals once a day. Never use hot water, which can warp the plastic.
When you first start wearing a new set of aligners, you may notice a slight lisp for a day or two. This is very common and quickly disappears as your tongue adjusts to the new appliance in your mouth.
No! This is a major advantage over traditional braces. Because the aligners are fully removable, you take them out to eat, brush, and floss. You can enjoy popcorn, gum, hard candies, and sticky foods—just remember to brush your teeth before placing the aligners back in.
