What is Invisalign®

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. It offers a comfortable and discreet alternative to metal braces, with results that look natural and feel like you.

Clear and discreet: The aligners are nearly invisible, so most people will not even notice you are wearing them.
Custom-made for your smile: Each set of aligners is digitally designed to fit your teeth and guide them into place with precision.
Removable when needed: You can take them out to eat, brush, floss, or for special events, with no food restrictions or tricky cleaning routines.
Gentle and comfortable: The smooth plastic trays are designed to minimize irritation and avoid the poking wires and brackets of traditional braces.
Improves more than appearance: Invisalign can fix crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and more, all while supporting your long-term oral health.

Invisalign makes it possible to straighten your teeth without the discomfort or appearance of metal braces. The results are subtle, powerful, and built around your lifestyle.

What Can Invisalign Fix?

Invisalign is a flexible treatment that works for a wide range of alignment and bite issues. During your consultation, we will evaluate your needs and create a custom plan to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.

Crowding and Gaps

Whether your teeth are overlapping or spaced too far apart, Invisalign can gently move them into better alignment. This improves both the appearance of your smile and your ability to clean between teeth.

Overbites and Underbites

If your upper or lower teeth stick out too far, Invisalign can gradually bring your bite into better alignment for improved comfort, long-term function, and a more balanced smile.

Crossbites and Open Bites

When your teeth do not meet properly or are misaligned, Invisalign can guide them into the right position, improving how your teeth look and how your jaw feels when you bite or chew.

No matter what type of alignment issue you are dealing with, we will design your Invisalign treatment to fit your goals and provide the best possible result. We can also talk about other cosmetic dentistry procedures like dental implants and teeth whitening if those solutions may help your smile.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is a flexible, effective option for many patients, but it works best when certain conditions are met. During your consultation, we will evaluate your smile, bite, and overall dental health to determine if Invisalign is the right solution for you.

You may be a good candidate if:

You have mild to moderate alignment issues: Invisalign works well for crowding, gaps, and many common bite concerns.
Your teeth and gums are healthy: Any decay or gum disease should be treated before starting orthodontic care.
You want a discreet alternative to braces: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, making Invisalign ideal for adults and teens who want a subtle option.
You can commit to wearing aligners consistently: To see results, you will need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day and follow the treatment plan closely.
You are looking for a removable, comfortable solution: If you want to avoid brackets and wires and be able to eat, brush, and floss normally, Invisalign offers that freedom.

If you are unsure whether Invisalign is right for you, we are happy to guide you through your options and help you choose the best path forward.

How Invisalign and Veneers Work Together

If you are thinking about veneers but also have crooked or uneven teeth, starting with Invisalign can create a stronger foundation for your final result. Together, these treatments help you achieve a straight, balanced, and natural-looking smile.

These treatments serve different purposes, but they work well as part of a complete plan:

Invisalign Aligns Your Teeth

Clear aligners gently move your teeth into better position, improving spacing, bite, and overall symmetry.

Veneers Refine Shape and Color

Once your teeth are properly aligned, veneers can perfect their shape, color, and proportions for a polished final result.

Ideal for Small Corrections

If your smile is mostly aligned but needs minor cosmetic refinements, veneers can smooth out edges or fix imperfections Invisalign cannot change.

Designed as a Cohesive Plan

We plan your Invisalign and veneers together so the final smile looks seamless, balanced, and completely natural.

This approach is ideal if you want both straighter teeth and a more refined cosmetic outcome. We will guide you through the full process to make sure every step supports your goals.

The Invisalign Process

Invisalign treatment is straightforward and fully customized for your smile. From your first scan to your final aligner, every step is designed for comfort, convenience, and precision.

Step 1

Consultation & Exam

We begin with a full exam and 3D scan of your teeth. This helps us understand your bite, identify problem areas, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.

Step 2

Treatment Planning

Using advanced software, we map out every movement of your teeth and show you a digital preview of your expected results before treatment begins.

Step 3

First Set of Aligners

Once your custom aligners are ready, you will begin wearing them for 20 to 22 hours each day. Each set is worn for one to two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into position.

Step 4

Regular Checks

We’ll see you every few weeks to monitor your progress and make sure everything is moving as planned. Adjustments can be made if needed.

Step 5

Final Aligner Stage

As you near the end of treatment, we may use refinement trays to make small, final adjustments that perfect your smile.

Step 6

Retainers & Maintenance

Once your treatment is complete, we provide you with custom retainers to help maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting back over time.

Invisalign Aftercare and Maintenance

Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you can enjoy a straighter smile that looks natural and feels completely your own. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is and how quickly the aligners become part of their routine.

To protect your results and keep your smile looking its best, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Daily Care: Brush and floss regularly, especially after eating and before putting your aligners back in. Keeping your teeth and aligners clean prevents buildup and keeps your treatment on track.
Wear Your Aligners Consistently: For the best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. Only remove them for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing.
Avoid Heat and Staining Foods: Hot beverages and strongly pigmented drinks like coffee or wine can stain or warp your aligners. Always remove them before consuming anything other than water.
Use Your Retainers: After treatment, wearing your retainers is essential to maintain your new alignment. We will guide you on how often to wear them and how to care for them properly.
Regular Dental Visits: Keep up with your cleanings and checkups during and after Invisalign. We want to make sure your smile stays healthy and your results last.

We’re here to support you at every stage, from your first aligner to long-term maintenance. At Long Island Veneers, our goal is to help you enjoy a smile that lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are considering Invisalign, it is normal to have questions. Here are some of the most common things patients ask during their consultation.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Most treatments take between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. We’ll give you a personalized estimate at your consultation.

Is Invisalign painful?

You may feel mild pressure when starting a new set of aligners, but it usually fades within a day or two. Most patients find Invisalign much more comfortable than braces.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?

You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents damage and staining.

How often do I need to wear my aligners?

For the best results, wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. Only remove them for meals, brushing, and flossing.
