Invisalign in St. John, IN

Invisalign aligners were developed with adults in mind, although many teens can get great results with them, too. By replacing brackets and wires with clear aligners, people can now work on their smiles without calling attention to their treatment. Most people will not realize you are wearing anything over your teeth. So, you can feel more relaxed wearing them at social events, in work situations, or at school.

As a patient, you will receive a series of custom-made aligners. You will wear each one for a couple of weeks before replacing them with the next aligners in the sequence. In addition to being discreet, they also have other advantages when compared to traditional braces:

  • Aligners can be removed during meals for a couple of hours per day.
  • You will not have to give up any of your favorite foods.
  • You do not have to change your daily hygiene routine.

Adults who use aligners often can complete their treatment in about a year. For teens, Invisalign typically takes as long as braces would. While clear aligners can correct a number of problems, some people will need braces to achieve their goals. This is why it is so important to talk to experts, like our own Dr. Randy Schmidt and Dr. Evan Schmidt, to find out if transparent aligners can work for you. You can rely on our expertise, as we have helped thousands of patients smile with more confidence for over 30 years.

Common Questions About Invisalign

Is Invisalign visible?

Because Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic and fit snugly over your teeth, they are practically invisible in your smile. Chances are, many people around you will not even realize you are straightening your teeth. With no visible wires or brackets, you will smile with complete confidence.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners instead of braces to move your teeth into their proper position. Based on a customized treatment plan created by your orthodontist, your aligners are made for you at a special lab. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, then move to the next set in the series. You will make occasional visits to our office for progress checks.

Is Invisalign painful?

Most patients find Invisalign more comfortable than braces. With no metal brackets or wires to rub against your mouth, you are less likely to experience irritation. Not only that, but Invisalign requires no periodic tightening of archwires to adjust the fit. When you switch to a new set of aligners, you may feel pressure at first. We recommend switching right before bedtime to lessen the chance that the pressure will bother you.
