How Invisalign® works.
Invisalign® uses a custom-made series of aligners created
exclusively for you. These smooth, comfortable, virtually
invisible trays are made of medical-grade, BPA-free
thermoplastic polymers that you wear over your teeth.
Wearing the aligners gently shifts your teeth into place,
based on the exact movements planned by Dr. Boggan. Simply
pop in a new set every 1–2 weeks, as directed, until your
treatment is complete.
You can get straight teeth without traditional braces, and
most people won’t even know you are wearing aligners.

From daily wear to insurance, here are answers to your clear
aligner questions.
What is Invisalign® and how does it work?
Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment using clear,
removable aligners to straighten teeth. The aligners are
custom-made for your teeth and gradually shift them into
place over time. At Ortho South, we use advanced 3D imaging
to design and monitor your treatment plan.
What are the benefits of Invisalign® compared to traditional braces?
Invisalign® offers a discreet, comfortable, and removable
alternative to traditional braces. At Ortho South, we
recommend Invisalign® for its aesthetic appeal, ease of
maintenance, and ability to enjoy your usual foods and
drinks when your aligners are removed.
Is Invisalign® suitable for teenagers?
Yes, Invisalign® Teen is designed specifically for
teenagers, with features like compliance indicators and
room for growing teeth. Ortho South is experienced in
providing Invisalign® for teens, helping them achieve
straight smiles with minimal impact on their lifestyle.
How much does Invisalign® cost at Ortho South?
The cost of Invisalign® varies based on the complexity
of your case, but Ortho South offers affordable options
and flexible payment plans. Our team will provide a
detailed estimate during your consultation and help you
maximize your insurance benefits for Invisalign®. See the pricing comparison below
for monthly payments and down payments as low as the
amounts shown.
How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the severity of the case, but
Invisalign® typically takes 12–18 months. Ortho South will
provide a personalized timeline during your consultation,
with a treatment plan designed around your needs.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign® aligners?
Yes, you can enjoy your usual foods and drinks during
treatment because Invisalign® aligners are removable.
Take them out for meals and drinks other than plain water,
and brush your teeth before putting them back in. Ortho
South provides tips to maintain good oral hygiene during
treatment.
How often do I need to visit Ortho South during Invisalign® treatment?
Invisalign® generally requires fewer office visits than
traditional braces. Some appointments may be scheduled
every 6–8 weeks to monitor progress and provide new
aligners; other treatment plans allow 8–12 weeks between
visits. Your doctor will set the schedule that is right
for your case.
Is Invisalign® painful?
Invisalign® is generally more comfortable than traditional
braces. You may feel slight pressure or discomfort when
switching to a new aligner, but this is usually temporary
as your teeth adjust. Ortho South helps make your
experience as smooth as possible. Contact our team if
discomfort is severe or persistent.
What happens during my Invisalign® consultation at Ortho South?
During your consultation, Ortho South will evaluate your
teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign®
is right for you. We use advanced 3D imaging to create a
customized treatment plan and show you a preview of your
new smile.
How do I clean my Invisalign® aligners?
To clean your Invisalign® aligners, rinse them with
lukewarm water and use a soft toothbrush or the Invisalign®
cleaning system. Ortho South provides detailed care
instructions to keep your aligners clear and odor-free.
Can I use Invisalign® for minor adjustments or gaps?
Yes, Invisalign® can address minor alignment issues,
such as gaps, crowding, and slightly crooked teeth.
Ortho South tailors your treatment to your needs and goals.
Does Ortho South accept insurance for Invisalign®?
Yes, Ortho South accepts most major insurance plans that
include orthodontic coverage. Our team will assist you
in understanding your benefits and filing claims to make
Invisalign® as affordable as possible.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign® aligners?
For the best results, wear your Invisalign® aligners
20–22 hours a day, following your doctor’s instructions.
Remove them for eating, drinking anything other than plain
water, and oral hygiene. Ortho South will monitor your
progress and help keep your treatment on track.
What should I do if I lose an Invisalign® aligner?
If you lose an aligner, contact Ortho South immediately.
We’ll help you determine the best course of action, such
as moving to the next aligner or ordering a replacement
to keep your treatment on track. Follow our team’s guidance
before changing your aligner schedule.
