Learn More About Invisalign® Clear Braces
If our orthodontist feels that Invisalign® clear braces are right for you, we will take x-rays and impressions of your teeth. Once these impressions are taken, they are sent to lab where a 3D computer helps create aligner trays based on how the teeth move with the aligners. A new aligner for your upper and lower teeth are given based on a personalized treatment plan, ideally to be worn consistently. Invisalign® clear braces offer a modern twist on traditional children's braces.
Explore the Benefits of Invisalign® Clear Braces
Safety & Comfort: Clear aligners that are custom made to smoothly fit your teeth help prevent minor irritations in the mouth. With the ability to remove the aligners you are also protecting your mouth from gum disease, cavities and other harmful bacteria that can form with traditional wire braces.
Transparency: Invisalign® clear braces fit snugly over your teeth making them virtually invisible, allowing your teeth to become aligned without anyone even noticing!
Treatment Duration: On average Invisalign® treatment can take from 6 to 18 months. Removable braces allow you to more comfortably eat, drink and brush your teeth than traditional wire braces.
Thanks to these and other benefits, Invisalign® clear braces have become a popular choice among younger people over metal wire and bracket braces. Enter the Invisalign® Teen line, a system designed specifically for teenagers. This orthodontic treatment generally costs around the same as traditional braces and is covered by most insurance plans. Though it's recommended to wear the aligners at least twenty-two hours a day, the fact that they are removable makes the process of eating much easier. Invisalign® users do not have to adhere to any diet restrictions, meaning your children can enjoy well-rounded meals that still include all their favorite treats, from biting into an apple to munching on chewing gum.

How to Care for Your Invisalign® Clear Braces
One of the most compelling reasons to choose Invisalign® clear braces is how easy it becomes to care for your teeth. With the right care and maintenance, your aligners can work efficiently to straighten your teeth and transform your smile. Simply follow these easy steps to take care of your Invisalign® clear braces!
- Regular Cleanings: Clean your Invisalign® clear braces often to keep them in good shape. Use toothpaste and a soft toothbrush to gently scrub your aligners to remove harmful bacteria. Avoid using soap, mouthwash, denture cleaner, or abrasive materials when cleaning your Invisalign® products.
- Rinse: When you remove your Invisalign® clear braces, rinse them in water to remove any lingering materials before placing them in their case. You can do this anywhere, even in a drinking fountain!
- Soak: Soaking your Invisalign® clear braces in a small cup of lukewarm water for about 15 minutes every day can help keep them clean, transparent, and odor-free.
- Take Care of Your Teeth: You already know that you shouldn't eat when wearing your Invisalign® clear braces, but taking further steps can help you maintain your aligners. When you remove your Invisalign® clear braces to eat, take the opportunity to brush and floss your teeth before putting your aligners back in. This helps you avoid stains and prevents plaque or food debris from becoming trapped in your teeth and gums.
- Use Your Case: Make a habit of always storing your Invisalign® clear braces in their case. Whether you're brushing your teeth or enjoying a meal, set your aligners into their case. This prevents them from getting damaged and reduces your chances of accidentally throwing them away.
Taking care of your Invisalign® clear braces can help them continue to do their job efficiently. If you're interested in learning more, our team will be happy to answer your questions! Perryman Orthodontics serves patients from San Antonio, Helotes, Leon Valley, and the surrounding areas of Texas.
Are Invisalign® Clear Braces Right for Me?
Invisalign® clear braces are right for most people, but it's important to make sure they are right for you. If you have a non-severe case of gapped or crowded teeth, or if you have an overbite, underbite, or cross bite, Invisalign® clear braces may be right for you. More severe cases will likely require more advanced or robust techniques.
Your eligibility for Invisalign® clear braces also depends on your age. Children and young teenager's mouths are still growing, which makes them better suited for other options of children's braces. Adults and older teens love Invisalign® clear braces for their transparency.
