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 Invisalign
Invisalign is an effective orthodontic treatment for a variety of alignment needs. However, it 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. Your dentist will 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, Invisalign aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, clear plastic that is virtually invisible. You won’t draw any unwanted attention to your orthodontic care, and there won’t be any 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.
Invisalign can correct many common alignment problems, including crowded teeth, gaps, and certain bite concerns. Your dentist will evaluate you to determine whether clear aligners can achieve the movement your smile needs. Treatment works by using a customized series of aligners that gradually guide your teeth into better positions. More complex orthodontic concerns may require a different approach. A consultation is the best way to understand your treatment options.
You should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating to help prevent staining, damage, and food from becoming trapped against your teeth. You can drink plain water while wearing them, but should avoid other beverages. Before putting your aligners back in, brush your teeth when possible to keep your mouth and trays clean.
You should clean your Invisalign aligners every day to keep them fresh and clear. Rinse your trays when you remove them and gently clean them according to your dentist’s instructions. Avoid using very hot water because heat can affect the shape of the plastic. You should also continue brushing and flossing your teeth daily. Keeping both your teeth and aligners clean reduces plaque buildup, stains, odors, and other oral health concerns during treatment.
