Why Invisalign Treatment Isn’t Just for Teens and Trendsetters
If you’ve been thinking about how awesome it would be to have a straighter smile, you may assume your only option is living with a mouth full of metal for a couple of years. In the past, maybe. But not anymore. At Family Dental Care, Dr. Gaurang Bhatt and the team use Invisalign clear aligners to address spacing issues and tooth overcrowding. Zero metal. Zero discomfort. A subtle way to get the smile you really want.Â
How Does Invisalign Work?
Dr. Bhatt and the team give you clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. Because each tray is shaped slightly differently, they gently nudge your teeth to straighter positions over a period of several months. Every couple of weeks, you get a new set.Â
What Is the Invisalign Process?
Dr. Bhatt’s team uses 3D technology to map your smile and print custom SmartTrack aligners. During your consultation, you’ll be able to see exactly how your smile will look at the end of the process. Once you receive your aligners, they must be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. If you stick to the plan, you’ll probably have your gorgeous new smile between 9 and 15 months.
What Dental Issues Can Invisalign Fix?
In addition to crooked teeth and gaps, Invisalign also corrects overcrowding and bite issues, such as overbites and crossbites. The technology has advanced sufficiently to match the capabilities of traditional braces for many complex cases.Â

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners for Teeth Over Traditional Braces?
Clear aligners give you the freedom that you can’t get with traditional braces. Their benefits include the following:
- Discreet, almost invisible
- Easier brushing and flossing
- Smooth plastic, no poking wires and irritation
- Faster treatment time than braces
- Fewer dentist visits
Is Invisalign Worth the Investment?
100% yes. How do you place a value on self-confidence? Feeling good about your smile is obviously a huge plus, but Invisalign also comes with health benefits. When your teeth are straight, they’re actually much easier to brush and floss.Â
How Often Should I Visit the Dentist During Invisalign Treatment?
You’ll need to come to the office every six to eight weeks. Dr. Bhatt and the team review your tracking and then provide you with the next batch of trays. Dr. Bhatt takes a look, gives the thumbs up, and you’re out the door and going back to your day.
What Can I Eat and Drink with Invisalign Aligners?
This is one of the things people love most about Invisalign. You can eat whatever you want. If you skipped braces in high school, you’ve lucked out. Because now, you can eat popcorn and corn on the cob all you want. Just be sure to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in.
