Invisalign & Clear Aligners for Kids and Adults
Invisalign and clear aligners have revolutionized the world of orthodontics, offering a discreet and effective way to straighten teeth for both kids and adults. At Washington Orthodontics, we understand that a confident smile can change your life. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing personalized Invisalign and clear aligner treatments that cater to your unique needs and lifestyle.
Understanding Invisalign & Clear Aligners
Invisalign and clear aligners are innovative orthodontic treatments that use a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are removable, allowing for easier eating and cleaning compared to traditional braces. They’re designed to be virtually invisible, making them an attractive option for those who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.

FAQs About Invisalign & Clear Aligners
How long does Invisalign take?
At Washington Orthodontics, we’ve seen Invisalign treatments range from 6 to 18 months, depending on individual needs. Your treatment duration will be influenced by factors like the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized timeline based on your unique smile goals.
Can Invisalign fix overbite?
Absolutely! Invisalign has come a long way and can effectively correct many overbite cases. At Washington Orthodontics, we use Invisalign’s advanced technology to create precise tooth movements, often incorporating special attachments or elastics for optimal results. We’ll assess your specific overbite during your consultation to determine if Invisalign is the right solution for you.
Is Invisalign cheaper than braces?
The cost of Invisalign at Washington Orthodontics is often comparable to traditional braces, with the exact price depending on your individual treatment plan. While Invisalign may sometimes be slightly higher in cost, many of our patients find the added comfort and discretion well worth it. We offer flexible payment options to help make your ideal smile affordable.
How to clean Invisalign aligners?
Keeping your Invisalign aligners clean is simple and crucial for your oral health. We recommend rinsing them every time you remove them and gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. For a deeper clean, you can use the Invisalign cleaning system or a mild antibacterial soap – just avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic.
Are clear aligners better than braces?
At Washington Orthodontics, we believe that both clear aligners and braces have their strengths – the best choice depends on your specific needs. Clear aligners offer advantages like improved aesthetics, comfort, and easier maintenance of oral hygiene. During your consultation, we’ll help you weigh these factors against your orthodontic needs to determine the best treatment for your unique smile.
Do clear aligners hurt?
While clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces, you might feel some pressure when you switch to a new set – this is actually a good sign that your treatment is working! Any discomfort typically subsides within a few days as your mouth adjusts. If you ever experience persistent pain, our Washington Orthodontics team is just a phone call away to provide guidance and support.
