What Invisalign can treat

Invisalign can treat crowding, gaps, crooked teeth and many bite problems in adults and teens. It's also often used before cosmetic work — straightening first can mean fewer veneers, or none.

At Perla we straighten teeth with clear aligners. At your consultation, Dr. Rodriguez will tell you whether they're right for your case.

How treatment works

Consultation and records

We examine your teeth and bite and take photos, X-rays and digital records of your teeth.

Your plan, before you start

Dr. Rodriguez plans the movement of your teeth step by step in Invisalign's software. If you'd like, you can see a 3D simulation of how your teeth are planned to move before you commit.

Wearing your aligners

You wear each set of aligners most of the day and night — about 20 to 22 hours — and take them out to eat, drink anything but water, and brush. You switch to the next set on the schedule Dr. Rodriguez gives you. Small tooth-colored attachments are often bonded to some teeth to help the aligners grip.

Check-ins

You come in at regular intervals so Dr. Rodriguez can check that your teeth are tracking the plan. If they need it, additional aligners are made to fine-tune the result.

Retainers

Teeth tend to drift back after any straightening. Wearing your retainers as directed is what keeps the result.

What makes Invisalign work

Wear time. Aligners only move teeth while they're in your mouth, so the results depend on wearing them as prescribed. People who keep them in, change them on schedule and come to their check-ins get the result they were planned for.

FAQs

How long does Invisalign take?

It depends on how much your teeth need to move. Simple cases can be months; more complex ones longer. Your plan shows the number of aligners before you start.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Most people feel pressure for a day or two with each new set. That's the aligners working.

Can I eat with my aligners in?

No. Take them out to eat and to drink anything other than water, then brush before putting them back in.

Is Invisalign covered by insurance?

Some plans include orthodontic benefits. We're out of network and submit claims as a courtesy; see Insurance & membership.
