Achieve a Perfectly Aligned Smile With Ease Using Aligners
You aren’t alone if you are interested in orthodontics as an adult. However, you may prefer a more discreet solution than braces. That’s why Dr. Zhitnitsky is proud to offer Invisalign treatment. It’s ideal for alignment problems of all kinds. Here is what you can expect:
- Personalized Consultation – Your dentist will start with a thorough exam to understand your unique needs. He will determine whether Invisalign is the best fit for you. He may recommend another solution, like veneers, if your needs are purely cosmetic.
- Treatment Planning – If Invisalign is the right choice, your dentist will capture impressions of your teeth using a digital scanner. Gone are the days of messy trays and uncomfortable goop! This information is sent to an outside lab, where your aligners are made.
- Wearing Your Aligners – When they are ready, you’ll come back to our office to pick them up and go over any questions. To achieve the best results, you’ll wear your Invisalign aligners for approximately 22 hours a day. You’ll only remove them for meals and while brushing or flossing.
- Progress Check-Ups – Every six weeks or so, you’ll visit us to monitor your progress. These visits ensure that everything is moving according to plan. Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to keep your Invisalign treatment on track.
In about 12 to 18 months, you can expect to finish your treatment. Once you’ve finished, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain the results.

Common Questions About Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are an effective orthodontic treatment for a variety of alignment needs. However, they may not be suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with severe orthodontic issues or specific dental conditions. Additionally, patients who struggle with compliance or commitment to wearing the aligners as directed may not achieve the desired results. During your consultation, we’ll determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment and discuss all options available to you.
Barely. Unlike classic braces made of stark metal brackets and wires, these modern orthodontic aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, clear plastic that is virtually invisible. This means you won’t draw any unwanted attention to your orthodontic care, and there won’t be any awkward questions or stares from onlookers during your months of treatment.
Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets, bands, and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. You simply slide the aligners over your teeth and wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. You can freely remove your aligners for eating, brushing, or a special occasion, so long as you put them back in when you’re done.
