WHAT IS INVISALIGN?
Invisalign is a teeth-straightening system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is custom-made based on digital impressions of your mouth and is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set.
- Nearly invisible when worn
- Made of smooth, BPA-free plastic
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Customized for a snug, comfortable fit
This system addresses a variety of orthodontic concerns, from minor spacing issues to more complex bite problems.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Invisalign Consultation
We’ll begin with a comprehensive exam and digital scan of your teeth to assess alignment and bite. If Invisalign is right for you, we’ll create a customized plan using advanced 3D imaging to map out each step of your smile transformation and show a preview of your projected results before starting treatment.
Receiving Your Aligners
Once your custom Invisalign aligners are ready, you’ll receive a full set of trays designed for each phase of treatment. You’ll wear them 20–22 hours a day and switch to a new set every 1–2 weeks. Each tray gently moves your teeth closer to your desired results with minimal discomfort.
Progress Monitoring
Every 6–8 weeks, you’ll visit our Lake Magdalene office so we can monitor your progress, check your aligner fit, and provide your next trays. If any adjustments are needed along the way, we’ll update your plan to ensure your smile stays on track and moves according to the original timeline.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Invisalign really invisible?
Yes, Invisalign aligners are made of clear, BPA-free plastic and are virtually invisible when worn. Most people—including friends, coworkers, and even people you're talking to face-to-face—won't notice you're wearing them. This makes Invisalign an excellent choice for adults, teens, and professionals who want to straighten their teeth discreetly without the appearance of traditional metal braces and wires.
Can I eat with Invisalign aligners?
No, you should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than plain water. Food particles and colored beverages can stain the aligners or cause damage, and chewing with aligners in can warp the plastic and affect your treatment results. The good news is that the aligners are easy to remove and store in their protective case during meals—allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions, unlike traditional braces.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete Invisalign treatment in 6 to 18 months. Mild spacing or crowding issues may be corrected in as little as 6 months, while more complex bite problems may take closer to 18 months or slightly longer. During your consultation at Lake Magdalene Dental, we'll assess your specific needs using advanced 3D imaging and provide you with an estimated timeline and a virtual preview of your projected results.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign is generally much more comfortable than traditional braces. You may feel mild pressure or slight discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks—this is a sign that your teeth are moving as planned. However, because the aligners are made of smooth plastic (no metal brackets or wires to poke or irritate your mouth), most patients find Invisalign far less painful than braces. Any initial discomfort typically subsides within a day or two as you adjust to each new tray.
Will insurance cover Invisalign?
Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits will cover a portion of Invisalign treatment, just as they would for traditional braces. Coverage typically ranges from 25–50% of the treatment cost, depending on your plan's orthodontic maximum and lifetime benefit. At Lake Magdalene Dental, we'll help you understand your insurance coverage, verify your benefits, and discuss flexible financing options if needed to make your Invisalign treatment affordable and accessible.
