A Beautiful Practice For All Your Dental Needs

Straighten Your Smile More Discreetly

If you want to improve the alignment of your teeth but aren't interested in traditional brackets and wires, Invisalign® clear aligners may be an option worth exploring. The removable trays are designed to gradually move teeth while remaining much less noticeable during everyday activities.

At Duluth Dental Care, we first look at your teeth and bite to determine whether Invisalign is appropriate for your orthodontic needs. Treatment isn't simply about creating straighter-looking teeth—it also involves planning how those teeth should come together when you bite and che

How Invisalign Treatment Works

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner applies gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, and you progress through the series as your teeth gradually move toward their planned positions.

Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out when eating, brushing, and flossing. You'll need to wear them consistently according to your treatment plan for the process to work as intended.

What Can Invisalign Help Correct?

Not every orthodontic case is appropriate for Invisalign. An evaluation can determine whether clear aligners can achieve the movement your teeth require.

Depending on your individual case, Invisalign may be used to improve:

Crowded or overlapping teeth
Gaps between teeth
Crooked or rotated teeth
Certain overbites
Certain underbites
Some crossbites and open bites

A Different Orthodontic Experience

Without fixed brackets and wires, Invisalign can make some everyday activities easier. You can remove the aligners for meals and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine. The tradeoff is that you are responsible for wearing the aligners consistently. They may be discreet, but they still require commitment to keep treatment progressing as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Invisalign completely invisible?

No orthodontic appliance is completely invisible, but Invisalign aligners are transparent and generally much less noticeable than traditional metal braces.

Can Invisalign fix crowded teeth?

Invisalign can correct many cases of crowding. Whether it is suitable depends on the severity and type of tooth movement required.

Can I eat normally with Invisalign?

You remove the aligners when eating, so you don't have the same food restrictions associated with fixed braces. The aligners should be cleaned before putting them back in.

Can I brush and floss normally with Invisalign?

Yes. Since the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth without working around brackets or wires.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time varies from patient to patient. It depends on the amount of movement needed, the complexity of your case, and how consistently you wear your aligners.

Is Invisalign better than traditional braces?

Neither is universally better. Invisalign may be a good fit for patients who value removable, discreet orthodontic appliances, while traditional braces may be preferable for certain alignment problems.

Am I too old for Invisalign?

There is no simple age cutoff for Invisalign. Adults can be candidates for clear aligner treatment if their teeth and supporting structures are suitable for orthodontic movement.
