The Clear Choice for Straighter Teeth
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, custom-made aligner trays that gently and gradually shift your teeth into their proper position.
Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed when necessary, ensuring your treatment fits seamlessly into your life without interrupting it.
Improved Oral Health
Straight teeth are not only aesthetically pleasing but also healthier.
Properly aligned teeth reduce the risk of food trapping and decrease the chances of developing cavities and gum disease.

Say goodbye to the self-consciousness often associated with metal braces; with Invisalign®, many will not even notice you're undergoing treatment.
What to Expect During Your Invisalign Treatment
Consultation and Examination
Your journey to a straighter smile begins with a detailed consultation and examination at our office. We'll review your dental history, assess your current oral health, and take digital impressions of your teeth. This information is crucial for customizing your Invisalign® trays to fit perfectly and work effectively.
Customized Treatment Plan
Using advanced technology, we'll map out your teeth's projected movement and create a series of aligners tailored just for you. Each set of aligners is designed to make incremental adjustments to your teeth, moving them closer to their desired position, all while keeping you comfortable.
Wearing Your Aligners
For optimal results, wearing your Invisalign® aligners for at least 22 hours a day is essential. They can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and for those special occasions—making them a convenient solution for everyone, from busy professionals to active teens.
Maintaining Oral Hygiene
One of the great benefits of Invisalign® is the ease of maintaining your oral hygiene. Without the need for navigating around brackets or wires, brushing and flossing remain straightforward. Just remember to brush after meals to ensure no food particles interfere with your aligners.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligner trays to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are virtually invisible and removable, offering a discreet and flexible option for straightening your teeth.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign aligners apply controlled pressure to your teeth, guiding them into alignment over time. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, gradually achieving the desired results.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the individual's needs but typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. Your dentist at Desert Breeze Dentistry will provide you with a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally considered more comfortable than traditional braces. Some patients may experience temporary discomfort or pressure for a few days after switching to a new set of aligners, but this is usually mild and manageable.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners in?
It's recommended to remove your Invisalign aligners while eating and drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining the aligners and ensures no food particles get trapped, which could affect your dental hygiene and the treatment process.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
For optimal results, it's essential to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should be removed only for eating, drinking (anything besides water), brushing, and flossing.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some patients may notice a slight adjustment period during the first few days of wearing their new aligners, potentially affecting speech. However, any minor speech impediments caused by the aligners typically disappear as you become accustomed to wearing them.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
Cleaning your Invisalign aligners is easy. Rinse them in lukewarm water and brush them gently with a toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Invisalign cleaning crystals can also be used for deep cleaning.
Is Invisalign right for everyone?
Invisalign is suitable for most teens and adults looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth. However, it may not be the best option for certain complex dental issues. A consultation at Desert Breeze Dentistry can determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the length of your treatment plan. Desert Breeze Dentistry offers competitive pricing and financing options to make Invisalign accessible for everyone.
