Invisalign
Straighten your smile discreetly with Invisalign at Family Medicine & Dentistry of East Brunswick.
Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment that gradually shifts teeth into their proper alignment without the need for traditional metal braces. Made from smooth, flexible plastic, these virtually invisible aligners are custom-designed to fit your teeth. Patients wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, with regular check-ups to monitor progress. Invisalign provides a discreet, comfortable, and convenient way to address common dental issues such as mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite problems. Because the aligners are removable, patients can enjoy food and beverages without restrictions and continue their normal oral hygiene routine.

Invisalign at Family Medicine & Dentistry of East Brunswick offers a modern, clear solution for achieving a straight smile with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Invisalign is a treatment option for individuals with dental concerns such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, or bite misalignments. The aligners gently move teeth into the desired position over time. Since they are removable, they allow patients to maintain better oral hygiene, eat without limitations, and avoid the discomfort and visibility of traditional braces. Invisalign is typically effective for mild to moderate dental issues but may not be suitable for more complex cases that require traditional braces.

Invisalign is effective for treating mild to moderate dental misalignment, including spacing, crowding, and bite issues. However, for more complex cases, traditional braces or alternative treatments may be recommended. Your dentist will evaluate your specific needs to determine if Invisalign is the right choice.
The length of Invisalign treatment depends on the individual case but typically lasts between 12 to 18 months. Progress is monitored during regular check-ups, and the treatment plan may be adjusted as needed. In some cases, treatment may be shorter or longer based on the severity of the dental issues being addressed.
Yes, Invisalign aligners are removable, which offers more flexibility than traditional braces. You should wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day to ensure effective treatment, but they can be taken out for meals, drinks (except for sugary drinks), and oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed during meals, so there are no food restrictions. You can continue eating your favorite foods without worrying about damaging the aligners or getting food stuck in brackets. Just be sure to clean your teeth and reinsert the aligners afterward for best results.
