Invisalign FAQ

Will Invisalign® Fit My Lifestyle?

  • Eat the foods you love: Time for a snack? No problem. Take out your aligners to eat or drink whenever you want.
  • Removable: You can remove your Invisalign aligners so you can brush and floss regularly, and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
  • Easy to use: There’s no need to change a thing. Continue your day-to-day activities while still straightening your teeth.
  • Unnoticeable: Be yourself with Invisalign aligners. Since they are clear, you don’t have to hide your smile while going through treatment.
  • Same results as braces: With Invisalign treatment, it’s easy to make your smile picture-perfect for that special occasion.
  • Quick and effective: Invisalign treatment appointments work with your schedule. Most visits are in and out, with a quick progress check once every six weeks.

What Is the Invisalign System?

The Invisalign system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Invisalign treatment uses advanced 3D computer imaging technology to depict your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.

Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth — and your teeth only — to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series until the final position of your teeth is achieved.

Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by Dr. Woods based on your specific needs.

What Are The Primary Benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are clear, which makes Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others. Invisalign aligners are also removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign treatment does not use metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth. In addition, you’ll spend less time in the doctor’s chair and scheduling appointments, and more time out doing the things you love.

Lastly, Invisalign treatment technology allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start your treatment, so you can preview how your straight teeth will look once your treatment is complete.

How Many Patients Are In the Invisalign System?

More than 12,000,000 patients worldwide have been treated with Invisalign aligners. The number of Invisalign smiles grows daily. At your next appointment, we can answer any questions you might have, and get you started on the smile you’ve always wanted.

this is our 2nd child having braces with this office and we are always pleased with the work that's done. Dr. Woods is always so friendly and helpful!
Gracelynn M.
Before I got braces, I was extremely insecure about my teeth and hardly ever wanted to smile. After finishing my treatment and getting my braces removed, I can honestly say I love my smile. I smile so much more now, and I no longer feel insecure about my teeth. The confidence Dr. Woods and his team have given me is something I’ll always be grateful for. Dr. Woods and his entire team were amazing throughout the whole process. They are incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. Every visit felt personal because they always took the time to have conversations with me, get to know me, and make me feel comfortable. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients, not just their smiles. I’m so thankful for everything Dr. Woods and his team have done for me. I couldn’t be happier with my results, and I highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.
Mary S.
Dr. Woods and his staff have always been friendly and professional. The atmosphere portrays the values of faith and family. We always had questions answered promptly and kindly. Dr. Woods is also a strong community supporter, especially of local schools. We would strongly recommend his orthodontic care to anyone.
