For many adults and teens, the thought of traditional braces—with their metal brackets and wires—can be discouraging. Fortunately, orthodontics has advanced significantly, offering a more discreet and comfortable solution: Invisalign® clear aligners. At BENE Dental in Norwell, MA, we help patients achieve beautifully straight smiles using Invisalign’s virtually invisible technology, designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, transparent aligners that gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Here’s how the process works:
-
Initial Consultation – At BENE Dental, we begin with a thorough exam and digital imaging to determine whether Invisalign is right for you.
-
Custom Treatment Plan – Advanced 3D technology maps out the exact movements of your teeth and estimates the treatment timeline.
-
Series of Aligners – You’ll receive a set of clear aligners, each to be worn for about 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next set.
-
Consistent Wear – Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
-
Progress Monitoring – Regular check-ins with our team ensure your treatment is on track.
By the end of treatment, your teeth are gently shifted into alignment, giving you a straight, confident smile without the discomfort and appearance of braces.
Benefits Over Traditional Braces
Patients love Invisalign because it offers several advantages compared to metal braces:
-
Discreet Appearance – The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them ideal for professionals, teens, and anyone concerned about appearance.
-
Comfortable Fit – Smooth, BPA-free plastic aligners eliminate the irritation often caused by brackets and wires.
-
Removability – Unlike braces, aligners can be removed for meals and oral hygiene, making it easier to brush, floss, and eat normally.
-
Fewer Office Visits – With Invisalign, there are fewer emergency visits for broken wires or adjustments.
-
Predictable Results – Digital treatment planning shows you what your smile will look like before treatment even begins.
Typical Treatment Timelines
Every smile is unique, so treatment time varies based on complexity. On average:
-
Mild to Moderate Cases – 6 to 12 months
-
More Complex Cases – 12 to 18 months
-
Minor Adjustments – Sometimes as little as a few months
Patients who consistently wear their aligners as instructed often achieve results faster and more predictably.
Real-Life Transformations
Invisalign can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Many patients are amazed by their “before and after” results, not only in terms of aesthetics but also improved comfort and oral health. A straighter smile can make brushing and flossing easier, reducing the risk of gum disease and decay.
