Plenty of places sell aligners. Here’s what your treatment actually includes here in Matthew Ronconi Orthodontics.
Testimonial
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays instead of traditional brackets and wires.
Each set of aligners is custom-fabricated to fit your teeth at a specific stage of treatment. As you progress through the series, typically switching to a new set every one to two weeks, your teeth gradually shift into their planned position. The aligners are made from smooth, clear plastic, so they’re far less noticeable than metal or ceramic braces and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Invisalign relies on precise digital planning, mapping out the full movement of your teeth from start to finish before your first aligner is even made. That level of planning is why choosing a provider with real Invisalign training and experience matters as much as the aligners themselves.
Benefits
Who Is This For
Every smile is different, and not every case is a match for aligners. Dr. Ronconi will evaluate your teeth during a complimentary exam and tell you honestly whether Invisalign is the right path.
Process
Most patients need to wear their aligners around 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Consistency is what keeps treatment on schedule.
You may feel mild pressure for a day or two after switching to a new aligner set. This is normal and typically fades quickly.
Invisalign treatment is planned and monitored by a certified provider who evaluates your case in person, adjusts your plan as needed, and oversees your progress throughout treatment, something mail-order aligner kits don’t offer.
Yes. Invisalign offers options designed specifically for teens, including features that help track wear time and compliance.
