Invisalign® Overview
Invisalign has been around since 1998, offering a crystal-clear alternative to traditional braces. It uses a series of custom-made, near-invisible aligner trays to straighten your teeth. There’s no need to walk around feeling self-conscious or putting off orthodontic treatment – Invisalign allows you to go about your daily life unrestricted. That’s why it’s a favorite amongst our teen and adult patients who prefer keeping their orthodontic treatment on the down-low.
What Invisalign Can Do for Your Smile
We use Invisalign® to correct a bunch of orthodontic concerns, including:
Crooked teeth
Crowned teeth
Spaced teeth
Malocclusion
How Invisalign® Works
- Clear choice: Ditch the metal and straighten your teeth with virtually invisible custom-made trays.
- Tech to the rescue: Your Gainesville orthodontist uses fancy digital scans to create the aligners, ensuring a perfect fit and precise tooth movements.
- Gradual glow-up: Every few weeks, you’ll get a new set of aligners that gently nudge your teeth into the perfect position.
- Comfy and Clear: The patented SmartTrack material makes these aligners comfortable, flexible, and effective.
- Extra muscle for tough cases: If your teeth are being stubborn, we apply tiny tooth-colored bumps called attachments to give them an extra push in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign costs can vary depending on your unique case. We typically see costs range from $3500 to $7500…think of it as an investment in a smile you’ll love!

Invisalign works its magic, but your teeth can still have a mind of their own! To keep your teeth in their perfect positions, wearing retainers as directed by your orthodontist is key. Following your recommended wear schedule and maintaining good oral hygiene will go a long way toward making your straighter smile last a lifetime!
We know amazing smiles shouldn’t be limited by budget. That’s why Trü Orthodontics offers a variety of ways to make Invisalign affordable:
- Insurance got you covered? Great! We work with most major providers.
- No insurance, no worries! We offer special discounts for uninsured patients.
- Spread the cost over time: Take advantage of our monthly specials and extended payment plans through Cherry, our trusted finance partner.
Not everyone needs these little bumps! Those tiny tooth-colored dots are used for trickier teeth that need more movement. If your smile goals are pretty straightforward, you probably won’t need them. Your orthodontist will decide what’s best for your personalized treatment plan!
Here’s the scoop on keeping your aligners squeaky clean and invisible:
- Rinse & Repeat: Each time you take them out, give them a quick rinse with cool or lukewarm water to wash away any sneaky saliva or plaque. Hot water is a no-go; it can warp the plastic!
- Brush it Off: Grab a soft-bristled toothbrush and some clear, unscented soap (think gentle on the plastics!). Toothpaste is a bit too harsh; it can scratch your aligners and make them less invisible. If you’re feeling fancy, you can also soak them in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals for an extra deep clean.
- Don’t Forget Your Smile: Before you pop them back in, brush and floss your teeth like usual. This keeps your mouth clean and prevents food particles from getting stuck between your teeth and the aligners.
- Ditch the Stains: To keep your aligners looking their best, avoid colored foods and drinks while you’re wearing them. If you do indulge, just take them out, brush your teeth, and then put them back in.
- Case Care: Don’t forget to clean your aligner case regularly! This keeps it hygienic and prevents any yucky bacteria from building up.
While Invisalign is suitable for virtually every patient, there are some criteria that give you a chance to achieve better results:
- Mild to Moderate Dental Issues: Invisalign is most effective for treating mild to moderate dental misalignments such as crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. It may not be suitable for more severe or complex orthodontic issues.
- Adults and Older Teenagers: Invisalign is popular among adults and teenagers whose teeth have fully erupted, including their second molars. Younger patients may not be ideal candidates as their teeth and jaws are still developing. Children may benefit more from interceptive orthodontics.
- Commitment to Treatment: Successful Invisalign treatment requires a commitment to wearing the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. Candidates must be disciplined enough to keep the aligners in for the necessary amount of time.
- Good Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial during Invisalign treatment. Candidates should be willing to brush and floss regularly to prevent tooth decay or gum disease.
- Non-Smokers: Smoking can stain the aligners and potentially affect the treatment process. Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking during treatment are better candidates.
- No Major Dental Work Required: Patients needing major dental work such as bridges may find that Invisalign is incompatible with their needs.
Ultimately, the decision for Invisalign treatment should be made in consultation with an orthodontist, who can assess individual cases and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
