Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Indianapolis

A smiling woman holding her Invisalign trayYou have lived with misaligned teeth long enough to know how they affect your confidence—whether speaking up in meetings, smiling in photos, or meeting new people. You’re ready for a change, but traditional metal braces won’t work with your professional image or lifestyle.

Fortunately, there's an easier way. Our experienced dentists at Southeast Family Dental offer a modern alternative: Invisalign clear aligners, which can discreetly and comfortably transform your smile.

How Invisalign Clear Aligners Work

Invisalign clear aligners are custom-designed transparent trays that gradually guide your teeth into proper alignment. This orthodontic solution allows adults and older teens to achieve the smile they desire without the visible appearance of traditional metal braces. Whether you're 25 or 75, clear aligners can effectively address your orthodontic needs and fit seamlessly into your daily routine.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer distinct benefits that make them a great choice for older teens and adults seeking orthodontic treatment:
Discreet Treatment
Invisalign aligners are fabricated from transparent, BPA-free plastic and are virtually invisible when worn. You can maintain your professional appearance throughout treatment without metal braces impacting your confidence during important moments.
Enhanced Comfort
Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-fitted aligners to ensure your comfort throughout treatment. Without metal brackets or wires, you'll experience minimal irritation to your cheeks and gums while your teeth gradually move into optimal position.
Lifestyle Flexibility
Clear aligners are removable, so you can brush and floss easily and enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions. You can take them out for a few hours for a special occasion or business presentation, then put them back in to continue treatment.

What Problems Does Invisalign Correct?

Clear aligners work well for mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Protruding teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite or underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Open bite

Are You an Invisalign Candidate?

Most adults and older teens with mild to moderate alignment or bite issues are good clear aligner candidates. Our experienced Invisalign dentists will perform a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine if clear aligners are right for you. While Invisalign addresses the most common alignment concerns, some complex cases may require traditional orthodontic treatment for optimal results.

Invisalign Treatment Planning

Using digital x-rays, photos, and advanced digital imaging technology, our dentists create a precise 3-D virtual model of your teeth. This innovative technology allows us to map out how your teeth will move during treatment and gives you a preview of your new, straight smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

A smiling man holding his Invisalign trayWhen you begin Invisalign® treatment, our dental team will provide care instructions to help ensure optimal treatment results and maintain their clarity and effectiveness. 

Daily Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean your aligners each morning and evening using lukewarm water and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Avoid hot water, which can warp the aligners, and harsh cleaning solutions that might damage the material. For best results, brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners to prevent trapping food particles.

Proper Handling and Storage

Always remove your aligners before eating and drinking anything except water. Store them in their protective case to prevent damage or loss when not in use.

When removing your aligners, handle them carefully and avoid excessive bending or twisting. Keep them away from heat sources, including hot cars or sunny windowsills, as this can affect their shape and compromise your treatment progress.

Ensure Treatment Success

Wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily to stay on track with your treatment plan. If you notice any calcium buildup or discoloration, ask our team about specialized cleaning solutions. Regular checkups at Southeast Family Dental allow us to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners continue working effectively.

Invisalign Treatment Process and Timeline

You’ll wear your custom aligners 20–22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, brushing, and flossing. Every 1-2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set, each designed to bring your teeth closer to their ideal alignment. We’ll schedule regular check-ins every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress and ensure treatment is on track.

Treatment times with Invisalign vary. Some patients achieve results in as little as six months; however, the average treatment takes 12 to 18 months. During your consultation, our team will provide you with an estimated timeline.
