215-500-9200Invisalign® clear aligners offer an advanced and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Designed with modern technology, this system uses a series of custom-made plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each aligner set is worn for about two weeks, during which it applies gentle, controlled pressure to reposition your teeth. The aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic that fits snugly over your teeth, making them both comfortable and virtually invisible. Throughout the course of your Invisalign treatment in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, you will receive new aligners at regular intervals and attend check-ins to ensure your smile is progressing as expected.
What To Expect During Your Invisalign Treatment
At your initial consultation, our dentists will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign aligners in Philadelphia, PA, are the right option for you. If you qualify, digital impressions will be taken to create your personalized treatment plan. Advanced imaging software maps out the movement of your teeth and helps predict the outcome, so you can see a preview of your new smile before treatment begins.
You will receive a series of aligners to wear for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat and perform daily oral care. Most patients complete treatment within 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of their case. Regular dental visits every six to eight weeks allow Dr. Dhaval Shah, Dr. Shilpa Emani or Dr. Sucheta Bansal to monitor progress and provide your next sets of aligners.
The Benefits Of Choosing Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, are an effective solution for many common orthodontic concerns. Our dentists may recommend Invisalign orthodontics to address issues such as crowded or crooked teeth, gaps and spacing problems, or mild to moderate bite irregularities, including overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites. One of the greatest advantages of Invisalign treatment is its subtle appearance, which makes it a popular choice for adult patients and image-conscious teens.
The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush and floss without restriction. This convenience helps you maintain better oral hygiene during treatment and enjoy your favorite foods without the limitations that often come with braces. Since Invisalign aligners in Philadelphia, PA, are smooth and customized to fit your teeth, you are also less likely to experience irritation or discomfort compared to metal brackets and wires.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Orthodontics
How is Invisalign treatment different from mail-order aligners?
Invisalign treatment is supervised by our dentists and team, who monitor your progress and make personalized adjustments as needed. Mail-order aligners typically lack in-person oversight, which can lead to complications. Invisalign treatment also uses advanced digital scanning and precise planning to ensure accurate, safe and predictable tooth movement throughout your treatment.
Will Invisalign aligners affect my speech?
Some patients experience a slight lisp during the first few days of wearing Invisalign aligners. However, this typically disappears as your tongue adapts to the aligners. Because the trays are thin and custom-fitted, most people adjust quickly and notice little to no long-term impact on their speech patterns.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
If an aligner is lost or damaged, contact your dental provider as soon as possible. Depending on your progress, our dentists may recommend wearing your previous set, moving on to the next one, or ordering a replacement. Prompt action is important to avoid delays or setbacks in your treatment timeline.
Is there an age limit for Invisalign clear aligners?
Invisalign treatment is suitable for both teens and adults, with no upper age limit. Many older patients choose Invisalign clear aligners to correct minor shifts or complete treatment they postponed earlier in life. A thorough evaluation will determine if you are a good candidate based on your oral health and alignment goals.
