Why Over One Million Patients Have Chosen Invisalign
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, custom-fitted plastic that feels gentle on your teeth and gums. There are no brackets that trap food and no wires that poke or rub. The clear design keeps your smile looking natural so you can feel confident in photos, at work, and during everyday interactions.
You can remove your aligners for meals, mornings, and special events, which makes daily life simple. There are no food restrictions, no concerns about breaking a bracket, and no challenges with brushing or flossing. Your teeth stay cleaner throughout treatment because you can maintain your full oral hygiene routine.
With no metal parts, Invisalign is a comfortable choice for athletes and musicians. You can keep your aligners in for non-contact activities or replace them with a mouth guard when needed. There is no risk of cuts or irritation from sharp edges.
Advanced digital imaging lets you see a virtual model of your teeth as they move through treatment. You can view the stages and final result before your aligners are even made, giving you a clear picture of your smile transformation.
Are You a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Choosing Invisalign starts with understanding what the aligners can correct and how they support different smile needs. At James L. Pelletier, D.D.S Orthodontist, many patients discover they are strong candidates for clear aligner treatment, and a consultation with Dr. Pelletier helps confirm the most effective and comfortable approach for their goals.
Invisalign can improve a wide range of alignment issues, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps and spacing
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Mild to moderate rotations
- General misalignment that affects appearance and function
These cases respond well to consistent aligner wear and a customized plan created from digital scans.
Some smiles have complexities that require more control than aligners can provide on their own. Examples include:
- Severe bite discrepancies
- Significant tooth rotations
- Issues involving major jaw positioning
- Patients who cannot commit to wearing aligners for the required amount of time
In these situations, your provider may recommend braces or a combination of treatments.
A consultation that includes digital scans and bite evaluation is the simplest way to learn if Invisalign is right for you. Your provider reviews your goals, checks your alignment, and maps out the most effective path to a healthier and more balanced smile.

How Long Invisalign Takes
Most adults complete Invisalign in about twelve months, and teens usually follow a timeline similar to braces. Some cases take more or less time based on how much movement is needed.
Aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours a day to keep your progress steady. Staying on track with daily wear helps each new aligner set move your teeth exactly as planned.
You will switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks. Each set builds on the last and gradually guides your smile into better alignment. Routine checkups help your provider monitor progress and make any needed adjustments.
Invisalign offers a smooth and predictable path to a more confident smile, with most patients seeing progress a few weeks into treatment.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign for Teens at James L. Pelletier, D.D.S Orthodontist gives younger patients a comfortable and confidence-boosting way to straighten their teeth without the look and feel of metal braces. The aligners are clear, removable, and designed to support busy school, sports, and social schedules.
Clear aligners keep their smile natural during photos, presentations, and daily interactions. Teens can eat the foods they enjoy because the aligners come out at mealtime with no risk of breaking brackets.
Since the aligners are removable, teens can brush and floss as usual. This helps protect their teeth from plaque and keeps their breath fresh throughout treatment.
With no metal parts, Invisalign for Teens is a comfortable option for athletes and musicians. Teens can continue their activities without worrying about cuts, irritation, or wires.
Each aligner includes a small blue dot that fades with wear. This gives parents a simple way to track compliance. Invisalign for Teens also includes several replacement aligners in case one is lost.
Invisalign for Teens gives families an effective orthodontic option that supports comfort, confidence, and everyday routines.
Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
Invisalign offers a clear and removable approach to straightening teeth, while traditional braces use metal brackets and wires. Invisalign stays almost invisible, feels smoother, and makes daily routines like eating, brushing, and flossing easier. Braces remain visible and often require adjustments, restrictions, and extra care.
Invisalign also supports active lifestyles since the aligners have no sharp parts and can be removed or replaced with a mouthguard during sports. Braces may irritate and can lead to occasional emergency visits for broken wires or brackets. Because aligners come out for cleaning, Invisalign usually supports better oral hygiene throughout treatment.
