Your Guide To Invisalign

What Are The Primary Benefits Of Invisalign Aligners?

In today’s world, having straight, healthy teeth is more important than ever. Not only can a beautiful smile boost your confidence and make you feel more attractive, but it can also help to improve your overall health. This is where Invisalign aligners come in. Some primary benefits of Invisalign aligners include faster treatment times, greater comfort during wear, and enhanced cosmetic results.

Additionally, Invisalign aligners offer much more flexibility than traditional braces – allowing for easier oral hygiene, less impact on your diet, and fewer restrictions on everyday activities throughout the day. Overall, Invisalign aligners are an effective and more convenient way to achieve a straighter smile.

How Do I Take Care Of My Aligners?

Now that you’re ready to learn more about Invisalign, you should know how to take good care of your aligners. With the right care and maintenance, your Invisalign aligners will work well, stay comfortable, and keep your teeth in great shape. Let’s talk about how to take care of your Invisalign aligners the right way.

  • Remove aligners entirely prior to eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
  • Every day, brush your aligners with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush.
  • Maintain your oral hygiene beneath your aligners by brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash to prevent plaque accumulation.
  • Don’t chew gum with your aligners in.
  • Place your aligners inside the case provided.

Is Treatment With Invisalign Painful?

There is a common misconception that orthodontic treatment is painful, but fortunately, this is not the case. While you may experience minor discomfort and soreness when you first receive your Invisalign and occasionally when moving to the next set of aligners, this should not be severe and will subside once your mouth adjusts. Invisalign treatment moves your teeth by applying gentle, constant force, so some people do feel temporary discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. Typically, people describe it as feeling “pressure” and it’s normal – it’s a sign your Invisalign clear aligners are working and transforming your smile.

Does Invisalign Treatment Guarantee Results?

There is no single, absolute answer to the question of whether Invisalign treatment can guarantee results. This variability stems from several factors, including the severity of one’s misalignment, consistency with the treatment plan, and use of orthodontic appliances designed to accelerate treatment. Every circumstance is unique. Dr. Brice and his expert team will assist you in determining the best orthodontic treatment for your needs. For many people, Invisalign treatment improves their smile by straightening their teeth with minimal bother and discomfort. However, it is not for everyone. After examining your specific needs, we will assist you in making an informed orthodontic selection to achieve the best possible outcome.

What Issues Can Invisalign Help To Correct?

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment for addressing many dental issues. In addition to correcting common problems like overcrowding and misalignment, it can also be used to treat more severe conditions such as protruding and gapped teeth, underbites, and crossbites. Ultimately, Invisalign is an incredibly effective way to correct many common dental problems, making it an excellent option for anyone who wants straighter, healthier teeth.

Elevation has been such a great experience, they made me a retainer and it was so quick and easy! The girls are all so sweet and Dr. Brice is a very knowledgeable doctor! All around I would definitely recommend.

Dr. Brice and his staff were so professional and explained every step. They were so kind and made sure I was completely comfortable!

Brooke G.
Guilty of not wearing my retainer after my braces came off in 8th grade, my teeth shifted and my bite was off, so at age 35, I committed to going through Invisalign treatment with Elevation Orthodontics. Greeted by Shelby’s smile, from the moment I stepped through the front door, I felt safe, comfortable, and welcome. The beautiful aesthetic of the office made me want to stay all day long, and the friendly E|O team members made the whole experience top notch. I’ve referred so many people because it was such a great experience! Thank you, Dr. Brice and the whole team, for making my smile beautiful again and giving me back my confidence!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Brooke! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with our team and office atmosphere was so positive. Your referrals mean a lot to us. Enjoy your beautiful smile!
Katie N.
I had an incredible experience at Elevation. The entire team is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. I began — and finally completed — Invisalign with them over the course of about 2.5 years. Not only did they straighten my teeth, but they also corrected my bite — no small feat!

As an adult, I really appreciated the adult-only practice and flexible hours, which fit seamlessly into my schedule. Whenever someone asks me for an orthodontist recommendation, I never hesitate — I always send them to the Elevation team!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Katie! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team and the successful completion of your Invisalign treatment. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Nate R.
I had a great experience at Elevation Orthodontics. From the moment I walked in, the tone of professionalism was clear. Shelby greeted me and got me signed in, and I was called back within minutes. Fabiola handled my exams, walked me through the process, and carried out the treatment plan that Dr. Brice created for me. I was even able to start treatment the same day. The entire staff was incredible, and I’m very happy with my new smile!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Nate! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience and that you love your new smile. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care. We appreciate your support!
Fabiola E.
I have had braces years before but didn't wear my retainer. I've recently started Invisalign and it was so much easier than I thought! There was no pain, got to watch tv during my appointment, and Dr.Brice explains everything clearly that the process has been seamless so far!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Fabiola! We're thrilled to hear that your Invisalign experience has been smooth and enjoyable. Dr. Brice and our team are here to support you every step of the way!
