Invisalign® clear aligners in San Jose, California, offer a modern and discreet way to straighten your teeth without the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces. These aligners are made of smooth, transparent plastic and are custom designed to fit snugly over your teeth. Over time, they gently shift your teeth into alignment using a series of trays that you change approximately every two weeks. Each new set continues the progress of the previous one, gradually guiding your teeth into their ideal position. Dr. Michelle Torres will monitor your progress regularly to ensure that your treatment stays on track and delivers optimal results.
What Invisalign Aligners Can Treat
Invisalign clear aligners in San Jose, CA, can address many of the same concerns traditionally corrected with metal braces. Whether you are dealing with crowding, crooked teeth or gaps, Invisalign treatment may be the right option for you. This system can also correct several bite issues, including underbites, overbites, crossbites and open bites. During your initial consultation, our dentist will evaluate your smile and determine whether Invisalign aligners are an appropriate treatment for your specific needs.
Benefits Beyond Aesthetics
Invisalign treatment in San Jose, CA, is known for its nearly invisible appearance, which appeals to both teens and adults who want a more subtle orthodontic solution. However, these aligners offer additional advantages beyond aesthetics. They are removable, so you can take them out when eating, brushing and flossing — giving you better control over your oral hygiene throughout treatment. Because the aligners are made from thin, BPA-free plastic, they tend to be more comfortable than the brackets and wires used in braces.
Customized & Convenient
Each Invisalign treatment plan is fully customized to meet your needs. Our dentist will take digital impressions and create a series of aligners specifically tailored to your smile. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually progressing toward your desired outcome. Office visits are typically scheduled every six to eight weeks to evaluate your progress and provide the next sets of aligners. With fewer emergencies or adjustments than braces, Invisalign treatment in San Jose, CA, is often a more convenient solution for busy patients.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Clear Aligners
How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?
Treatment time with Invisalign aligners varies based on the complexity of your case. On average, most patients complete their treatment within 12 to 18 months. Some minor adjustments may take only a few months, while more extensive alignment issues can require a longer commitment for best results.
Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect how I speak?
Some patients experience a temporary lisp or slight speech change during the first few days of wearing aligners. This usually resolves quickly as your mouth adjusts. Because the aligners are thin and custom-fit, most people adapt smoothly and speak normally throughout the course of treatment.
Can I drink beverages while wearing my aligners?
You should remove your aligners before drinking anything other than cool or room-temperature water. Hot drinks and colored beverages can stain or warp the plastic. To protect your aligners and maintain your oral hygiene, it is best to remove them before consuming coffee, tea, juice or soda.
What happens after Invisalign treatment is finished?
Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, our dentist will provide a retainer to help keep your teeth in their new positions. Wearing your retainer as instructed is essential to prevent your teeth from shifting over time and to protect the investment you made in your smile.
