The Invisalign Clear Aligners Process
Consultation
We’ll begin the Invisalign process with an initial consultation. Dr. Hindi will examine your teeth and assess whether Invisalign is a suitable treatment option. We’ll also take digital X-rays of your teeth using high-quality technology to create a comprehensive treatment plan.
Invisalign Treatment
Based on your treatment plan, a specialized dental lab will create your series of customized aligners made just for you. As the aligners apply gentle pressure to your teeth, you’ll wear each aligner for about two weeks before moving on to the next one in the series.
You’ll need to visit our Sterling Heights dentist’s office periodically to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned. Dr. Hindi may also make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. For the best results, wear the aligners at least 20 to 22 hours a day. We recommend taking them out only to brush and floss your teeth and eat.
Finalization
Our dentist may prescribe a retainer, usually a clear aligner, to help maintain the new position of your teeth after completing the Invisalign process. Wearing your retainer nightly is one of the best ways to protect the results of your treatment.

How to Care for Your Clear Aligners
To have success with your Invisalign aligners, there are a few steps you need to take in order to properly care for them. To care for your clear aligners:
- Trade your old aligners in every two weeks. This allows your smile to continue shifting into the correct position.
- Rinse your aligners every time you take them out of your mouth. This helps your aligners to remain clean and clear of bacteria and food particles.
- Soak your aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals.
- Clean your teeth regularly. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily can reduce your risk of cavities and help stop the spread of bacteria onto your aligners.
- Brush your aligners when you take them out. This may not always be possible, but try to do it every time. Use a soft-bristled brush to prevent scratching the trays.
- Remove your aligners to eat or drink anything other than water. Food and drinks can stain your aligners and set back your treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Invisalign often reduces patients’ treatment time. While braces can take several years to straighten your smile, Invisalign can produce stunning results in as little as 12 to 18 months. Your dentist will give you a more accurate estimate of the treatment timeline at your consultation.
Dental insurance coverage for the cost of Invisalign treatment will vary, depending on the specific plan and provider. Some insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost of Invisalign, while others may not cover it at all. You should check with your insurance provider to determine the specifics of your coverage for Invisalign treatment.
Dentists recommend cleaning your Invisalign aligners daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap. You can also clean your aligners using denture cleaning crystals or tablets, rinsing them with room temperature water before placing them back in your mouth.
Don’t use the dishwasher, boiling water, or toothpaste for cleaning to avoid scratching or warping your aligners. Keeping the surfaces of your aligners smooth stops bacteria from hiding in hard-to-reach places.
While Invisalign is an excellent solution for many adults looking to correct orthodontic issues, it doesn’t work for every patient. Clear aligners aren’t suitable for many teenage patients whose mouths are still growing. Major alignment problems may also disqualify a patient for Invisalign. You should always speak with your dentist about your oral health before committing to orthodontic treatment.
