Clear aligners are removable for meals and oral hygiene. You can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods freely without the worry of damaging brackets or getting food stuck in wires.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Invisalign take?

When teeth are not straight, it affects several aspects of your life—some of these you may not even be aware of. Of course, smiling and laughing may feel awkward, but crooked teeth can also contribute to tooth wear and dental health issues like cavities. Overlapping teeth are also harder to brush and floss effectively, which can also mean future decay.

Your dentist in Fayetteville offers Invisalign because it is a discreet system that allows you to straighten your teeth without cumbersome wires.

Typically, you wear your aligner for 22 hours every day, removing them to eat or during your oral care routine. After about two weeks, you move on to the next aligner in the sequence. This allows for gradual straightening.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

How long you wear your aligners depends on the severity of your misalignment. Other considerations include crooked teeth, overlapping teeth, twisted teeth, gaps between teeth. How complex are these issues?

During your treatment planning, your dentist provides a timeline—typically several months on the low end and up to two years for more significant issues.

Can I get Invisalign if I have a dental bridge?

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, they can be easily taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes them a convenient option for busy adults who want to improve their smile without interrupting their daily routine.

But what if you have a dental bridge? Can you still get Invisalign?

The answer is yes! Whether you have a traditional fixed bridge or a removable partial denture, you can still achieve straighter teeth with Invisalign. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional metal braces, and it can be used to treat a variety of different dental issues. However, the presence of a dental bridge may require some modifications to your treatment plan. For example, your dentist may need to place attachments on your teeth in order to help the aligners grip them more effectively.

While Invisalign is not ideal for every orthodontic patient, it can be a great option for those with bridges. Invisalign treatment can be customized to fit each patient's individual needs and smile goals.

The process starts with an exam and chat with your dentist in Fayetteville, AR. We want to learn what you’re looking for in a new smile, and we want to make sure that Invisalign is the right choice to provide that smile.

If you prove to be a good candidate for Invisalign, your dentist takes impressions of your teeth and gums. Invisalign uses this information to create custom aligners for your teeth.

As to whether Invisalign can correct your overbite, your dentist closely examines your smile and gums to make sure that it will achieve this goal. An aligned bite, after all, means less wear on your teeth and fewer dental health problems long term.

Can you switch from braces to Invisalign?

It is possible to switch from braces to Invisalign, but it is best to consult with an orthodontist or dentist before making the switch. While it can be an effective treatment for a wide range of orthodontic problems, certain cases are better suited to braces.

There are a few factors that need to be considered, such as the severity of the misalignment, the remaining treatment time, and the length of time that the braces have been in place. Invisalign is not suitable for everyone, so it's important to get professional advice before making any decisions.

Northwest Arkansas Family Dental wants to provide our patients with a solution they feel good about, so we offer Invisalign in Fayetteville, AR.

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into proper position. They are transparent, smooth, and removable, providing unparalleled convenience and exceptional results.

If you decide to switch to Invisalign Fayetteville AR, your orthodontist will take new impressions of your teeth and create a customized treatment plan. The treatment duration may be longer, as Invisalign typically works more slowly than traditional braces. However, many patients find Invisalign to be more comfortable and convenient, making the additional time and effort worthwhile.

The Process for Getting Veneers

The first step for getting clear aligners is to take x-rays and digital scans to see if you are a good candidate.

Treatment Planning — We examine your teeth and take digital scans and photos to see if you’re a good candidate and to plan your treatment. Using the scans, we carefully plan how each tooth will move throughout treatment.
Preview Your New Smile — Before treatment begins, we will show you a virtual preview of your smile so you can envision the final treatment result. Then, a Candid-Pro lab customizes your sets of aligners based on our specifications.
Wearing Your Aligners — You will receive several sets of aligners that you wear for 20–22 hours daily, then switch to the next set. Remove them only to eat, drink anything except water, and brush and floss.
Remote Check-Ins and Appointments — Send regular check-in photos from home so we can monitor your progress. Visit our office for important appointments to make sure your teeth are moving as planned.

Average treatment times for CandidPro aligners are 6–12 months, but depend on how much tooth movement is needed. In some cases, treatment can take 18 months.
