Why Invisalign treatment?

  • Faster treatment

    With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. Depending on your response to treatment, particularly as an adult, we may recommend longer periods between aligner changes.

  • Proven results

    Invisalign’s SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features are clinically proven to improve control of tooth movement for predictable results.

  • Better fit

    Aligners made from SmartTrack material are comfortable, fit well, and are easy to put on and take off.

  • Effective

    Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gaps, overbites, and underbites.

  • Virtually invisible

    Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!

  • Comfortable

    Invisalign clear aligner trays are smooth and comfortable to wear. They’re also removable, so you can continue brushing, flossing, and eating your favorite foods without restrictions.

  • Convenient

    Invisalign treatment fits easily into your busy schedule, with appointments at our Washington, D.C. office typically every six weeks.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

  1. 1

    Your First Consultation

    At your initial consultation at our Washington, D.C. orthodontic office, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.

  2. 2

    Your Custom Treatment Plan

    We will use advanced digital scanning technology, such as the iTero® scanner, to create fast and precise 3D images of your teeth. Then, we will map out a customized treatment plan, including your teeth movements and estimated treatment time. You’ll even be able to preview your new smile.

  3. 3

    Your Invisalign Clear Aligners

    Your custom-made aligners will be created from Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

    Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss, for the best results.

  4. 4

    Your Progress

    As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend changing to a new set of aligners weekly and scheduling check-ups at our Washington, D.C. office every six weeks or so.

  5. 5

    Taking Care of Your New Smile

    When your Invisalign treatment is complete, we will discuss Vivera® retainers with you. Vivera retainers are custom-made using the same advanced technology as Invisalign clear aligners to help maintain your new smile.

We look forward to meeting you at Shefferman Orthodontics in Washington, D.C., and helping you achieve a smile that’s made to move!
