What Are Invisible Braces and How Do They Work?
Invisible braces, commonly known as Invisalign clear aligners, are custom-made plastic trays that gradually move your teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before switching to the next set in your treatment sequence. The clear plastic material makes them virtually undetectable when worn, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment.
At Clemente Orthodontics, we create a personalized treatment plan using advanced 3D imaging technology to map your tooth movement from start to finish. Our experienced orthodontists, Dr. Michael, Dr. Nicole, and Dr. Marissa Clemente, have successfully treated thousands of patients with invisible braces, addressing everything from minor spacing issues to complex bite corrections. The removable nature of these aligners means you can eat your favorite foods and maintain optimal oral hygiene throughout treatment.

Best Candidates for Invisible Braces Treatment
Invisible braces effectively treat a wide variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Adults and teens particularly benefit from this treatment option due to its discrete appearance and convenience. Professional adults appreciate the ability to attend meetings and social events without visible orthodontic appliances, while teens enjoy the freedom to participate in sports and activities without dietary restrictions.
However, not all orthodontic cases are suitable for invisible braces treatment. Severe rotations, significant vertical movements, and certain bite corrections may require traditional braces or additional orthodontic appliances. During your complimentary consultation, our experienced orthodontists will evaluate your specific needs and determine whether invisible braces can achieve your desired results. If clear aligners aren’t the best option, we’ll recommend alternative treatments like our micro-mini brackets or clear braces to help you achieve the Clemente Smile.
How Long Does Invisible Braces Treatment Take?
Treatment duration with invisible braces typically ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case and your compliance with wearing the aligners. Most patients see noticeable improvements within the first few months of treatment, with final results achieved when the last aligner is completed. For optimal results, aligners must be worn 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Our digital monitoring program allows us to track your progress remotely, reducing the number of in-office visits required throughout treatment. This convenience factor makes invisible braces particularly appealing to busy professionals and students who want to minimize disruptions to their schedules. Regular check-ups every 6-8 weeks ensure your treatment progresses as planned, with adjustments made as needed to achieve the best possible outcome.
Cost and Payment Options for Invisible Braces
The cost of invisible braces treatment varies based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment required. Generally, Invisalign treatment costs are comparable to traditional braces, making it an accessible option for most families. Our practice accepts most dental insurance plans, and we’ll work with your provider to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
We understand that orthodontic treatment represents a significant investment in your oral health and confidence, which is why we offer flexible payment plans to fit your budget. During your complimentary consultation, our team will provide a detailed treatment estimate and discuss financing options that work for your family. Many patients find that the convenience and aesthetic benefits of invisible braces make them an excellent value compared to traditional orthodontic options.
Invisible Braces vs Traditional Braces: Making the Right Choice
While both invisible braces and traditional braces can achieve excellent orthodontic results, each option offers distinct advantages. Invisible braces provide superior aesthetics, easier oral hygiene maintenance, no dietary restrictions, and greater comfort due to the absence of metal components. Traditional braces, however, may be more effective for complex cases requiring precise tooth movements or significant bite corrections.
Our experienced orthodontists will help you understand the pros and cons of each treatment option during your consultation. Factors we consider include your age, lifestyle, orthodontic needs, and personal preferences. For patients who prioritize discretion and convenience, invisible braces often represent the ideal choice. Those with more complex orthodontic needs may benefit from our advanced bracket systems or a combination approach that maximizes treatment efficiency.
What to Expect During Your Invisible Braces Journey
Your invisible braces journey begins with a complimentary consultation where we’ll examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if clear aligners are right for you. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll take detailed impressions and photographs to create your personalized treatment plan. Advanced 3D imaging technology allows you to preview your expected results before treatment begins, ensuring you’re excited about your transformation.
Once your custom aligners arrive, typically within 2-3 weeks, we’ll schedule your first appointment to ensure proper fit and provide detailed instructions for care and maintenance. Throughout treatment, you’ll visit our office every 6-8 weeks for progress evaluations and to receive your next sets of aligners. Our digital monitoring program may reduce the frequency of in-person visits, making treatment more convenient for your busy schedule.
Maintaining Your Results After Invisible Braces Treatment
Retention is crucial for maintaining your beautiful new smile after completing invisible braces treatment. Without proper retention, teeth naturally tend to shift back toward their original positions, potentially undoing months of orthodontic progress. We offer several retainer options, including removable and permanent solutions, to keep your results stable for years to come.
Your retention protocol will be customized based on your specific case and lifestyle preferences. Most patients wear retainers nightly for the first year after treatment, then transition to a few nights per week for long-term maintenance. Our durable, personalized retainers are designed to last while providing the comfort and convenience you need to maintain your investment in your smile.
