How Invisalign Works at WGD

Invisalign does the exact same job as traditional braces – but rather than relying on metal brackets and wires that are bonded to the teeth, clear plastic aligners are worn over them instead. These trays apply gentle, targeted pressure to the teeth and encourage them to move into healthier, straighter positions. Patients must wear the trays continuously, only removing them to eat and brush their teeth, and will advance to new sets of trays as their treatment progresses.

The Benefits of Vivera Retainers

After completing Invisalign treatment, keeping your new smile in place is just as important as creating it. That’s where Vivera® retainers come in. These clear retainers are designed by the same experts behind Invisalign and offer a reliable, comfortable, and discreet way to maintain your results for the long term.

Here’s why so many patients love Vivera:

  • Virtually Invisible – Just like Invisalign aligners, Vivera retainers are made from clear, high-quality material that’s hardly noticeable when worn.
  • Strong & Long-Lasting – Vivera retainers are made from a material that’s up to 30% stronger than other clear retainers, meaning less chance of cracks or wear over time.
  • Custom Fit for Comfort – Each set is 3D-printed using your final Invisalign scan, ensuring a snug, personalized fit that’s easy to wear day or night.
  • Removable Convenience – You can take them out when eating, brushing, or flossing—making them a hassle-free part of your daily routine.
  • Ongoing Smile Protection – Vivera helps safeguard the progress you’ve made, preventing your teeth from shifting back over time.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Patients who undergo Invisalign treatment are unlocking access to a long list of enticing, life-changing benefits – and these clear aligners certainly hold several advantages over traditional metal braces:

  • The trays are removable, meaning that patients don’t have to follow the same dietary guidelines that are required for braces.
  • As the name implies, Invisalign aligners are mostly invisible and undetectable when worn, which is why many patients prefer them over noticeable, unnatural-looking metal braces.
  • On average, Invisalign treatment timelines are shorter than those of metal braces; the average patient will wear their aligners anywhere from 12 to 18 months, while patients with braces usually undergo treatment for 18 to 22 months.

Conditions Invisalign Can Treat

It’s important to note that although Invisalign is one of the most enticing orthodontic solutions out there, it isn’t suited for every patient. Once you’ve attended your consultation with our team, we’ll be able to quickly determine if your case can be resolved with Invisalign. Some issues, often those that are complex, might require traditional orthodontic treatment. However, Invisalign is usually fully capable of addressing things such as overlapping or crowded teeth, bite issues like overbites and underbites, and gaps.
