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.

FAQs.

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?

How long does Invisalign® treatment take?

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign® aligners?

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.
