These custom-made aligners fit snugly over your teeth, gently applying pressure to shift them into their ideal positions. The ability to remove the aligners means you can enjoy your meals without restrictions and maintain your social and professional life without inconveniences.

How Does Invisalign® Work?
Wondering how Invisalign® works? Let’s walk you through the treatment process:
- Consultation: Your Invisalign® journey begins with a visit to our Birmingham, MI practice. During this initial consultation, one of our skilled dentists will assess your teeth and determine if Invisalign® is the right solution for your alignment issues.
- Digital Impressions: If Invisalign® is deemed suitable, we’ll create a precise 3D digital impression of your smile. This data will be sent to an offsite dental laboratory.
- Customized Aligners: Skilled technicians will use the 3D renderings of your teeth and facial structure to craft your personalized Invisalign® aligners.
- Aligner Fitting: When your custom aligners are ready, you’ll return to our Birmingham, MI, office to receive your first set. You’ll wear each pair for about two weeks before progressing to the next. Each shifts specific teeth gently into their desired positions. In most cases, Invisalign® treatment takes just 12 to 18 months to complete.
- Wearing Your Aligners: You must wear your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours and follow your dentist’s instructions diligently. If you’re not committed to the process, it may affect your candidacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Invisalign hurt?
Since Invisalign aligners are customized to fit your teeth, your treatment will be much more comfortable than traditional braces. You also won’t have to worry about painful bracket adjustments or metal wires poking your teeth and gums. You may experience some mild discomfort during the first few days of treatment phases as your teeth adjust, but this should fade within a few days and is easily manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Is Invisalign covered by insurance?
With most insurance providers, you’ll get the same coverage for Invisalign that you would for braces. Typically, this means at least a portion of your treatment will be covered, depending on the terms of your plan. If you have any questions about your insurance benefits, our team will be happy to assist you. Simply call our Birmingham, MI office at 248-646-3515 where a team member will gladly provide answers.
How do I clean and maintain my aligners?
Invisalign aligners are much easier to keep clean than metal braces. All you need to do is brush your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush every morning when you wake up and every night before you go to bed.
It’s crucial that you remember to take out your aligners before meals and brush your teeth before putting them back in. This will prevent food crumbs and bacteria from getting trapped in your teeth and causing an infection. Avoid drinking anything but clear water while wearing your aligners, as other beverages can leave stains on your trays.
Can I remove my braces and get Invisalign?
In most cases, yes! Many patients who are tired of their inconvenient metal braces ask if they can switch to Invisalign. The only way to find out is by scheduling a consultation at our Birmingham, MI practice. During this visit, one of our dentists will examine your teeth and determine if Invisalign will be an effective treatment for you.
