Invisalign clear aligners are the modern teeth-straightening solution that many people prefer. They offer many of the same correctional benefits as braces without the uncomfortable metal or noticeable look.
But before opting for Invisalign, it’s important to know how the treatment works and what you can expect.
Here are some key things to know about clear aligners.
How does Invisalign work?
This treatment solution leverages a series of custom clear aligners. Each removable aligner applies pressure to move your teeth. As you progress through the aligner set, your teeth get shifted closer and closer to their ideal position.

How will I keep my teeth straight after Invisalign?
You will receive a custom clear retainer. First, you must wear the retainer fairly often. However, after around 6 months, you can wear the retainer only at night to keep your teeth in place. Just like with braces, if you don’t follow the retainer guidelines, your teeth may shift out of place.

Am I a candidate for Invisalign treatment in Boynton Beach?
Clear aligners can address many of the same alignment concerns as braces, including:
- Gaps between teeth
- Crookedness
- Overbite
- Underbite
However, severe orthodontic issues may require braces and/or other solutions. The best way to know if you are a candidate is to schedule a consultation with our Invisalign dentist in Boynton Beach, FL.
How long does it take?
The duration of your treatment depends on your correction needs, adherence to treatment, and more. On average, Invisalign treatment takes 12-18 months to complete. The dentist will share your personal timeline and benchmarks before treatment starts. You must wear aligners for 22 hours per day to stay on track with your timeline.
How often will I need to visit the dentist?
Throughout the course of your treatment, you must check in with the dentist to ensure your progress is on track and make any necessary adjustments. However, you’ll spend much less time in the dental chair than with braces. Typically, you will return every 6-10 weeks depending on your situation.
