How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions without traditional metal braces. The treatment process uses digital impressions we take of your mouth to create aligners designed to reposition a small section of your smile at a time.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two or three weeks before moving on to the next one. It’s vital you wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day; only take them out to eat, drink, brush, or floss. Over the course of your treatment, you’ll check in with Dr. Sadkin every few weeks to make sure your teeth are moving as planned.
What Is the Process for Getting Invisalign?
Your Invisalign journey at our Trophy Club practice begins with a consultation with Dr. Sadkin. After deciding to start treatment, x-rays and photographs of your teeth will be taken and an impression will be made, to be sent with Dr. Sadkin’s instructions for how the teeth should move during the Invisalign treatment. Next, you will receive a set of customized aligners designed to be worn in a specific order for two-week intervals.
As treatment progresses, Dr. Sadkin will refine your smile and monitor your results. Lastly, it is important to maintain the new smile by wearing retainers for a period after treatment is complete, allowing your jawbone time to settle around the newly placed teeth.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Patients in Trophy Club and Las Colinas prefer Invisalign to traditional braces for several reasons:
- Unless someone knows what to look for, your aligners should be essentially unnoticeable when worn.
- You can remove the aligners at any time, so you won’t need to adjust your diet or oral care routine.
- The smooth plastic of the aligners is less likely to irritate your mouth than the sharp metal brackets and wires.
- The average treatment time with Invisalign (12-18 months) is much shorter than metal braces (24-36 months).
Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
If you’re considering getting Invisalign to straighten your teeth, you should know the treatment can generally serve many of the same purposes as traditional braces for most common orthodontic issues. This includes correcting gaps between teeth, crowded teeth, mild overbites and underbites, protruding teeth, and crooked teeth.
If a greater issue exists requiring substantial adjustments, such as jawbone movement for a severe overbite or underbite, then this treatment may not be suitable for you. Ultimately, it’s important to speak with Dr. Sadkin to anticipate whether Invisalign is right for you when considering orthodontic treatment in Trophy Club and Las Colinas.
