How it works

A digital scan, not a mouthful of putty.

Your first appointment is a consultation and a digital scan — not an impression, not a mould. A precise 3D scan of your teeth is taken with an intraoral scanner and submitted to Invisalign’s ClinCheck software, which maps the movement tooth by tooth.

That plan shows the predicted path from where your teeth are now to where they will finish. You see it before you commit to anything.

Your aligners are then made to that plan. Each set is worn for a set period before moving to the next, and each one moves the teeth a fraction further.

The practical difference

Why people choose aligners over braces.

Virtually invisible

Clear plastic rather than metal brackets. Most people will not notice you are wearing them.

Removable

Out for meals, out to brush and floss properly. No food you have to avoid for a year.

No wire adjustments

You change to the next set yourself, with check-ups rather than tightening appointments.

Easier cleaning

Brushing and flossing carries on as normal, which matters — braces make gum problems more likely.

You see the plan first

The predicted outcome is modelled before treatment starts, not described in the abstract.

ClearCorrect too

We also offer ClearCorrect aligners. We will tell you which suits your case rather than defaulting to one.

Being straight with you

Aligners aren’t right for every case.

Clear aligners handle mild to moderate crowding, spacing and mild bite problems very well. They are less suited to severe rotations, large gaps needing teeth moved a long way, or complex bite corrections — and pretending otherwise leads to eighteen disappointing months.

If your case is better served by fixed braces or by a referral to an orthodontist, we will say so at the consultation. The scan tells us fairly quickly which side of that line you fall.

They also only work if you wear them. Aligners need to be in for the great majority of the day — taken out for meals and cleaning, then put straight back. People who leave them out drift off plan and the treatment takes longer.

Aligner questions

Answered honestly.

How much does Invisalign cost?
It depends on how much movement your teeth need and how long treatment runs. A full cost breakdown and insurance coordination is provided before you commit to treatment. Many dental plans contribute something towards orthodontic work, and CareCredit and Cherry financing are available.
How long does treatment take?
It varies with the case — minor crowding may take months, more involved cases considerably longer. The ClinCheck plan produced from your scan gives a realistic estimate before you start, rather than a guess.
How many hours a day do I need to wear them?
Aligners need to be worn for the great majority of the day, taken out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. This is the single biggest factor in whether treatment finishes on time.
Will it affect my speech?
Most people notice a slight lisp for the first few days while the tongue adjusts, and it settles. It is usually gone before anyone else comments on it.
Can I have Invisalign if I have crowns or fillings?
Usually yes. Existing crowns, fillings and bridges are taken into account when the plan is built. We will check the overall health of your teeth and gums first — aligners move teeth, and teeth need to be sound before they are moved.
Do I need a retainer afterwards?
Yes. Teeth drift back towards where they started if nothing holds them. Retainers are part of finishing the job properly, not an optional extra, and we will discuss them as part of the plan.
Is it available at the Enfield office?
Yes, at both offices. Wethersfield is open Monday and Wednesday to Friday; Enfield is open on Tuesdays. Call 860-430-4388 and we will book you with whichever suits.

See the plan before you decide.

A consultation and digital scan will show you the predicted result — and tell you honestly whether aligners are the right tool for your case.
