A beautiful, straight smile can do wonders for your confidence and overall dental health. If you’ve been considering orthodontic treatment but don’t want to deal with the hassle of metal braces, Invisalign may be the perfect solution for you. At Triangle Street Dental, we offer Invisalign clear aligners to help patients achieve a straighter smile without the discomfort and visibility of traditional braces.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth gradually. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and custom-made to fit your teeth. These aligners gently shift your teeth into their desired position over time, giving you a more comfortable and discreet alternative to metal braces.
Benefits of Invisalign
✅ Nearly Invisible – Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are clear and discreet, making them ideal for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention.
✅ Removable – Unlike braces that are fixed to your teeth, Invisalign trays can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about food getting stuck in brackets.
✅ Comfortable – Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners eliminate the irritation and discomfort caused by traditional braces’ wires and brackets.
✅ Faster Results – Many patients see results in as little as 6 to 18 months, compared to traditional braces that may take 2 to 3 years to complete treatment.
✅ Improved Oral Hygiene – Because the aligners are removable, it’s easier to brush and floss properly, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease during treatment.
How Does Invisalign Work?
The Invisalign treatment process is simple and effective:
1. Consultation and Digital Scan
Your journey starts with a consultation at Triangle Street Dental, where our team evaluates your teeth and takes a 3D digital scan to create a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Custom Aligners
Using advanced technology, Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth. You’ll receive a series of aligners, each designed to shift your teeth gradually into alignment.
3. Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink (except for water), brush, and floss. Every 1 to 2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, bringing you closer to your ideal smile.
4. Monitoring Progress
Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Triangle Street Dental every few weeks to ensure your teeth are shifting as planned and to receive your next set of aligners.
5. Enjoy Your New Smile!
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll be given custom retainers to maintain your beautiful, straight smile for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Invisalign
Q: How long does Invisalign treatment take?
A: The average Invisalign treatment lasts 12 to 18 months, but some patients see results in as little as 6 months. Your exact treatment time depends on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners.
Q: How often do I need to wear my aligners?
A: For best results, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Q: Will Invisalign affect my speech?
A: Some patients may notice a slight lisp when they first start wearing Invisalign, but this typically disappears after a few days as your tongue adjusts to the aligners.
Q: Can I eat with my Invisalign aligners in?
A: No. You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything besides water to prevent staining and damage.
Q: How do I clean my aligners?
A: Clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and mild soap or an Invisalign cleaning system. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can be abrasive and cause scratches.
