At Kingsview Dental, we believe clear, comfortable treatment should be easy to access and easy to understand. That’s why our comprehensive Invisalign guide explains everything from how the system works to what to expect during treatment — step by step.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
Braces have helped millions of people — but they aren’t the best fit for everyone. Invisalign was designed with modern lifestyles in mind, offering:
Discrete appearance (clear aligners instead of metal brackets).
Removability for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Fewer office visits than traditional braces.
Comfortable fit with smooth plastic aligners.
Because aligners are made from smooth thermoplastic, many patients find them more comfortable than metal appliances. They also make daily oral care easier, helping protect your gums and enamel during treatment.
What Invisalign Can Fix
Invisalign isn’t just for mild spacing issues — today’s technology can correct a wide range of common orthodontic concerns:
Crowded teeth — improving alignment and oral hygiene.
Gapped teeth — closing unwanted spaces.
Overbite & underbite — enhancing bite function.
Crossbite & open bite — correcting alignment for better chewing.
Your Kingsview Dental provider will assess your individual case to determine how Invisalign can be tailored to your goals.
How Invisalign Works — Step by Step
Invisalign treatment follows a clear, predictable process:
1. Initial Consultation
We evaluate your smile, review X-rays, and discuss your goals. If Invisalign is a good fit, we proceed with digital impressions.
2. Custom Treatment Plan
Advanced 3D imaging technology maps your movements from start to finish, giving you a preview of your projected results.
3. Receiving Your Aligners
Your custom clear aligners are delivered in a series. Each set is worn for about 1–2 weeks before switching to the next.
4. Wear Aligners Daily
Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day — removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
5. Progress Check-Ins
Regular check-ups (typically every 6–8 weeks) help us monitor progress and ensure everything is tracking as planned.
6. Your New Smile
Once treatment is complete, retainers help maintain your alignment for long-lasting results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Invisalign suits many teens and adults — but ideal candidates share a few key traits:
Committed to wearing aligners as recommended.
Good oral hygiene habits.
Orthodontic issues suited to aligner therapy.
Even complex cases can often be treated with Invisalign, thanks to new attachments and advanced planning software. Your provider will walk you through your options.
What to Expect on Your Invisalign Journey
Most patients report:
Comfortable, custom-fit aligners.
Minimal impact on daily life.
Improved confidence as smiles shift.
Some early adjustments are normal as your mouth adapts, but most discomfort fades quickly. Aligners are easy to clean and maintain — just rinse and brush them daily.
