With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth discreetly as they are made out of a clear plastic. Each new tray of aligners are custom fitted specifically for your teeth.
With the Invisalign Clear Aligners software, we are able to see exactly how your teeth will move with each new tray, and how they will appear as they move into their final positions. When you start your treatment with Invisalign, you will receive a sequence of aligners designed to move your teeth through each stage of your treatment. The number of Invisalign trays will differ for everyone depending on the original condition of the patient’s teeth, but the average patient will receive around 20 to 30 sets of aligners. Treatment time also varies for each individual and will be determined by your dentist as a part of your plan, but often you can expect to wear each new set of Invisalign aligners for around two weeks before transitioning to the next set in the series. Though the total amount of time an individual needs to use Invisalign before it is completed is different for everyone, you should start seeing results and a straighter smile within the first six months!
Like Invisalign, traditional braces are used to correct over-crowded and crooked teeth. What differs between Invisalign and traditional braces is that traditional braces can also help fix issues with your jaw, or a misaligned bite.
Traditional braces are made up of metal brackets connected by a wire. They are placed on your teeth with an adhesive, and unlike Invisalign, are not changed at all during the treatment process. However, you do need to get them tightened about every 5 weeks or so, as the pressure that is created is what gradually straightens your teeth over time.

What is Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign Clear Aligners, typically referred to simply as Invisalign, is a modern way to straighten teeth without the use of conventional braces. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create necessary tooth movement to gradually move crooked teeth into place. Moving teeth with removable aligners has been around for years, however, a new computer program is now used to generate a series of aligners with small changes over time. Invisalign Clear Aligners is recommended for orthodontic situations with mild to moderate spacing or crowding. Invisalign in virtually undetectable, easy to use and much more comfortable to wear than traditional braces.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The length of treatment varies from person to person, depending on the starting condition of your teeth. Some individuals can see results in as quick as 6 months, where others may need Invisalign for up to 18 months.
What is the average cost of Invisalign treatment?
The cost of Invisalign varies depending on a number of factors, including the severity of your orthodontic problem and the length of your treatment. At Fine Dentistry of Orlando, the average cost of Invisalign is between $2,499 and $5,199. However, it can be more or less expensive depending on the factors previously mentioned.
What is included in the cost of my Invisalign treatment?
At Fine Dentistry of Orlando, we include the following in our Invisalign treatment:
What material are Invisalign aligners made of? Are they comfortable?
Invisalign aligners are made out of SmartTrack material, a plastic material often made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) which is a clear, durable and flexible material. Invisalign is known to be a lot more lightweight and comfortable than traditional braces. The smooth plastic of the aligners eliminates the possibility of your skin, tongue, lips, etc. from getting caught in the metal brackets traditional braces are made from.
Is Invisalign as effective as traditional metal braces?
The short answer is yes, Invisalign are just as effective as traditional braces in straightening your smile. In fact, it is believed in moderate and mild cases, Invisalign actually works better than traditional metal braces as they apply pressure all around the teeth in order to move them, where as traditional braces pull from a specific point on a tooth where the bracket has been attached. It is important to note, that in more sever situations of over-crowding and crookedness, metal braces may be needed to straighten the teeth.
