How Does Invisalign Work?

How does Invisalign work? Invisalign gently straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made, clear aligners that apply precise, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into position. Each aligner is digitally designed for your smile using 3D imaging technology, allowing for a comfortable and predictable orthodontic experience, without metal brackets or wires.

Highlights

  • Invisalign uses clear, custom aligners to gently move teeth into alignment.
  • Every treatment is planned digitally using advanced 3D imaging technology.
  • Aligners are comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible.
  • Average treatment time: 6–18 months, depending on complexity.

Modern Orthodontics, Refined

Your smile deserves the best of both science and comfort. Invisalign makes straightening teeth a discreet, seamless experience, no metal, no discomfort, and no disruption to your lifestyle.

At Wall Street Dental Spa, every Invisalign journey feels elevated. From digital precision to our tranquil environment, you’ll receive orthodontic care that feels more like self-care.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern alternative to braces that straightens teeth with a series of removable, transparent aligners. Each aligner is tailored to your unique dental structure, gradually guiding your teeth into ideal alignment.

How Does Invisalign Work Step by Step

Every Invisalign treatment is completely personalized. At Wall Street Dental Spa, we combine advanced orthodontic technology with a calming, supportive approach to ensure your comfort from consultation to completion.

Step 1 – Consultation and 3D Smile Scan

Your journey begins with a relaxing consultation and a digital 3D scan of your teeth. This precise imaging replaces traditional impressions and allows us to design your customized treatment plan right before your eyes.

Step 2 – Custom Aligner Creation

Your aligners are created from smooth, BPA-free SmartTrack® material, engineered for comfort and control. Each set is slightly different, guiding your teeth to their ideal position with gentle, consistent force.

Step 3 – Progressing Through Each Set

Every 1–2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners. Over time, these subtle adjustments transform your smile without the pain or inconvenience of metal braces.

Step 4 – Regular Check-Ins and Refinements

You’ll return for brief check-ins to monitor your progress. These visits are comfortable and convenient, often completed in minutes.

Step 5 – Reveal and Retention

Once your teeth reach their final position, we’ll fit you for a custom retainer to preserve your new smile. The result: a confident, harmonious alignment that complements your natural beauty.
