Understanding Invisalign
Invisalign revolutionizes orthodontic treatment by using a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth and correct bite issues. These custom-made trays, virtually invisible when worn, shift your teeth into their ideal positions over time, typically requiring 20-22 hours of daily wear for optimal results.
Suitable for addressing various dental concerns including crowding, gaps, and misalignments, Invisalign offers a discreet and flexible alternative to traditional braces, allowing you to maintain your lifestyle while working towards a beautifully aligned smile.

Comprehensive Smile Assessment
Your path to a straighter smile begins with a thorough examination at Newport Dental. We’ll evaluate your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. Using advanced imaging technology, we’ll capture detailed scans of your teeth to form the foundation of your personalized treatment plan.
Crafting Your Custom Aligners
Based on your smile assessment, we’ll create a tailored Invisalign plan using state-of-the-art 3D imaging. This technology allows us to map out the precise movements of your teeth and show you a preview of your expected results. Once you approve the plan, we’ll manufacture your custom set of clear aligners to fit your teeth perfectly.
Starting Your Teeth Straightening
When your aligners are ready, we’ll provide you with your first few sets and guide you on proper usage. You’ll wear each set for about 1-2 weeks, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. To achieve the best results, it’s crucial to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours daily. As you progress through your sets, you’ll begin to notice positive changes in your smile.
Mastering Aligner Care
Proper maintenance of your aligners is key to successful treatment. We’ll demonstrate how to clean them effectively using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Remember to avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything besides water to prevent staining, and store them in their protective case when not in use.
Regular Progress Check-Ups
Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you’ll have periodic appointments at Newport Dental to monitor your progress. These visits are typically shorter and less frequent than those required for traditional braces. We’ll provide you with new sets of aligners and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your treatment stays on track. After completing your final set, we’ll evaluate your results and may recommend a retainer to maintain your newly aligned smile.

FAQs About Invisalign
What are Invisalign clear aligners?
Invisalign clear aligners are a customized alternative to braces. They straighten your teeth and correct bite problems to boost your self-esteem, make it easier to chew and clean your teeth, and reduce your risk of cavities.
Invisalign aligners fit right over your teeth and gently coax them into the desired position. The aligners are highly versatile and treat alignment issues like crowded teeth, gaps, open bites, underbites, and overbites.
How do Invisalign treatment plans work?
The Invisalign clear aligners gradually shift the alignment of your teeth. Each aligner differs slightly as you get closer to your smile goal. You change them out every week or two as your smile shifts.
Invisalign aligners are made from a durable and flexible plastic material that fits snugly and comfortably over your teeth.
Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and easily removable for eating, brushing, flossing, or even special events. Because they have no metal brackets or wires, the aligners won’t irritate your mouth or gums.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are appropriate for a number of smile concerns that are often treated with conventional metal braces. During your first visit, your Newport Dental provider performs a thorough evaluation to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
If your provider finds issues like tooth decay or gum disease during your evaluation, you’ll need treatment before getting Invisalign.
You then receive a customized treatment plan. The number of aligners and length of treatment depends on your smile. Invisalign treatment plans last anywhere from 12-22 months.
How long does Invisalign take?
Your Invisalign treatment timeline depends on your specific dental needs. Most patients complete their alignment in 12-18 months. Some see results in as little as 6 months for minor corrections, while complex cases may require up to 24 months. During your Newport Dental consultation, we’ll outline a personalized timeline tailored to your smile goals.
Can Invisalign fix overbite?
Yes, Invisalign effectively corrects overbites. Your custom aligners will gradually adjust your teeth positioning to improve bite alignment. In some cases, we may incorporate precision cuts or elastics for enhanced results. We’ll assess your overbite severity and design a targeted treatment plan during your initial visit to Newport Dental.
Does insurance cover Invisalign?
Many dental insurance plans include Invisalign in their orthodontic coverage. Benefits vary, ranging from a percentage of the total cost to a fixed amount. Newport Dental’s team will help you navigate your insurance benefits. We also offer various financing options to ensure your Invisalign treatment fits your budget.
How to clean Invisalign?
Maintaining clean Invisalign aligners is straightforward. Rinse them each time you remove them to prevent buildup. Use lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush for daily cleaning. The Invisalign cleaning system or mild, clear soap work well for deeper cleaning. Avoid hot water to prevent warping. Always brush and floss before reinserting your aligners.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign prioritizes comfort in teeth alignment. You may feel slight pressure when starting a new set of aligners, typically subsiding within days. This sensation indicates your teeth are shifting as planned. Invisalign’s smooth plastic design eliminates the gum and cheek irritation often associated with traditional braces. Our Newport Dental team remains available to address any comfort concerns throughout your treatment.
