What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a series of custom clear aligners that gradually straighten your teeth using smooth, medical-grade SmartTrack plastic and 3D digital planning. You wear each set 20-22 hours a day for 1-2 weeks, then switch to the next set until your teeth reach their final position.

Here's how it works in short:

  • You wear a set of aligners for 1-2 weeks, then switch to the next set in the series.
  • Aligners are worn 20-22 hours per day, and you take them out to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss.
  • Each set moves your teeth in small, planned steps until you reach your final smile.

Invisalign can correct a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps and spacing
  • Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
  • Mild to moderate bite alignment issues

For many teens and adults, clear aligners offer the results of braces with a lot more flexibility in daily life.

Benefits of Choosing Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign offers six key advantages over traditional braces for our Cedar Park families, from a nearly invisible look to easier daily hygiene.

Key advantages include:

  • Nearly invisible appearance. Clear aligners are hard to notice, which is ideal for adults, professionals, and self-conscious teens.
  • Removable convenience. Take them out to eat your favorite foods, brush, and floss normally. No food restrictions.
  • Comfortable fit. Smooth aligners mean no wires or brackets rubbing against your cheeks and lips.
  • Most check-ins happen every 6-8 weeks, so Invisalign works well with busy schedules.
  • Digital smile preview. Before you begin, you'll see a 3D simulation of your projected smile.
  • Because aligners come out, brushing and flossing stay simple, which supports healthier teeth and gums during treatment.

With Dr. Briggs guiding your care, you also get the confidence of working with an experienced orthodontist, not a mail-order kit.

The Invisalign Process at Our Cedar Park Office

We've designed the Invisalign experience at Austin Orthodontics to be simple, informative, and stress-free from day one. Here's what to expect:

  1. Free consultation and smile assessment. Dr. Briggs meets with you, discusses your goals, and examines your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign is the right fit. free consultation
  2. 3D iTero digital scan. Instead of messy putty impressions, we use an advanced iTero scanner to capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth in minutes.
  3. Custom treatment plan preview. Using your scan, Dr. Briggs designs a personalized plan and shows you a digital preview of how your smile will progress step by step.
  4. Aligner delivery and attachments. Once your aligners arrive, we fit them and place small tooth-colored attachments (when needed) that help guide certain movements.
  5. Progress checkups every 6-8 weeks. You'll come in for short visits so Dr. Briggs can confirm your teeth are tracking as planned and hand off your next sets of aligners.
  6. Refinements and finishing touches. Near the end of treatment, small adjustments help polish your final result.
  7. Retainers to protect your new smile. After treatment, you'll get retainers, and can enroll in our retainers for life program for easy long-term replacements.

From your first visit to your final reveal, Dr. Briggs and our team keep you informed and comfortable at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Most Invisalign cases take about 12-18 months, though mild cases can finish sooner and more complex cases may take longer. During your free consultation, Dr. Briggs will review your specific goals and give you a personalized timeline based on your treatment plan.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign is generally very comfortable. You may notice mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two when switching to a new set of aligners, which is a normal sign your teeth are moving. Most people adjust quickly and go about their day without any interruption.

Can I eat with Invisalign in?

No, you should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This keeps your aligners clear and helps prevent staining or damage. Simply pop them out, enjoy your meal, brush or rinse, and place your aligners back in.

How often do I wear my aligners?

For the best results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners 20-22 hours per day. That means only taking them out for meals, drinks, and oral hygiene. Consistent wear is the single biggest factor in staying on schedule and achieving your ideal smile.

What happens after treatment ends?

Once your teeth reach their final position, you'll transition to retainers to keep them there. We offer our retainers for life program, which makes it easy and affordable to replace retainers if they're ever lost or damaged, so your new smile stays beautiful for years to come.
