Clearly straighten your teeth with Invisalign.
Invisalign is a revolutionary way to straighten your teeth without wires and brackets. It pairs advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with the 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign aligners move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your Columbus Family Doctor. Each clear aligner is precisely fitted and made to fit your mouth at every stage of your personalized treatment program. Schedule a consultation today if you’re interested in learning more about how Invisalign might benefit you.
Align your teeth with precision.
Invisalign is a revolutionary method for straightening teeth that has been evolving since its inception. Invisalign uses the latest technology in creating aligners, which can be as few as 12 separate aligners during your treatment, depending on how much progress you make per session. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually — week by week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. You’ll be smiling like you never have before! If you want to learn more about Invisalign and how it works, please visit the Invisalign Homepage. Unfortunately, Invisalign is not intended for children and is not appropriate for every adult. Columbus Family Dental can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you. To see if Invisalign can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, schedule a consultation with your doctor or talk about Invisalign during your next appointment.

F.A.Q.
Invisalign Questions
How how long do I have to where my aligner?
You must wear your aligners for up to 22 hours daily. You may remove them for eating, drinking and regular oral hygiene.
Are there restrictions to what I can eat?
No. Unlike braces, you may eat whatever you like as long as you remove the aligners before eating. Prior to placing the aligners back on, it is important to brush your teeth and the aligners after you eat.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Like any orthodontic treatment, there is a short adjustment period. The more you speak with the aligners on, the quicker you will adjust.
Can I chew gum?
It is recommended that you remove your aligners prior to chewing gum as the gum will stick to the aligners.
Do I need to wear a retainer after treatment?
All patients are instructed to wear their retainers at night indefinitely. Sleeping with your retainers in at night will ensure a healthy bite and maintain the new position of your teeth.
Can I smoke with my aligner in?
We discourage smoking with aligners as the cigarette smoke will tend to discolor your aligner.
How do I keep an aligner clean?
Brushing your aligner with toothpaste will keep it fresh and clean. Watch this video.
How often do I need checkups with Invisalign?
Regular office visits are every five to six weeks. This will ensure that your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.
How long does an Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the misaligned teeth. Treatment time can be shorter than traditional braces, between six and 18 months.
Does Invisalign work for children?
Yes, if their teeth, including second molars, have grown in completely.

Are Traditional Braces a Better Fit?
Not all orthodontic cases are the same. Orthodontic success depends on the current alignment of your teeth and bite, paired with the best possible treatment. Learn more about traditional braces.
