In a perfect world, you’re born with teeth that line up beautifully right from the start. Unfortunately, this is not often the case, prompting you to take matters into your own hands.

If you’d like to straighten your teeth without a mouth full of metal, call the Conroe, Texas, office to learn more about Invisalign or use the online scheduler to set up a consultation today.
Sure, straight teeth go a long way toward a beautiful smile, but there are several other reasons why you should consider straightening your teeth, including:
The bottom line is that straight teeth are easier to keep healthy and ease your ability to chew, speak, and smile.
Invisalign straightens your teeth using clear aligners. When you first visit Woodland Lakes Dental Studio, the team uses advanced digital imaging to figure out the best plan for straightening your teeth, They send this information to the Invisalign lab, which custom manufactures your aligners to meet your specific needs and goals.
Every 1-2 weeks, you receive new aligners, which you swap out with your old ones. The aligners are made from a material called SmartTrack®, which firmly, but gently, guides your teeth into the desired positions.
One of the main benefits of Invisalign, besides the barely noticeable aligners, is that you can remove them for eating and cleaning. While being able to remove the aligners is certainly an advantage, you should wear them at least 22 hours a day to keep your teeth straightening on track.
Invisalign can correct most issues that traditional braces correct, including:
Even if your teeth are only mildly out of line, Invisalign is the perfect solution for improving your smile.
There’s no single answer to this question, as it depends on the degree of straightening you or your child requires. Invisalign generally works as quickly as metal braces, if not more quickly if you choose to increase the frequency of swapping out your trays.
It generally takes anywhere from 6-24 months to straighten your teeth with Invisalign.
