Invisalign® Clear Aligners

At SJ Dental, we understand that you need an orthodontic solution that fits conveniently into your busy, professional life. With Invisalign clear aligners, we provide a discreet, convenient way to achieve the straight, confident smile you've always wanted, without metal braces.

How Do Clear Aligners Straighten Teeth?

The concept behind clear aligners is fairly basic: Instead of brackets and wires attached to your teeth during treatment, you wear a series of transparent plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Treatment is discreet and easy, requiring only a switch of aligners every one to two weeks, followed by visits every six to eight weeks for check-in appointments.

What Issues Do Clear Aligners Correct?

If you have complex needs, traditional braces might be more appropriate, but clear aligners can treat many common alignment and bite problems, including:

Crowded teeth
Gaps and spacing
Overbite
Underbite
Crossbite
Open bite

Benefits of Clear Aligner Treatment

Beyond improved smile aesthetics, properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, which reduces your risk of cavities and gum disease. Straight teeth also promote a healthy bite, preventing excessive wear on certain teeth and reducing jaw strain that could lead to headaches and TMJ problems.

But that’s not all! Check out these practical benefits of clear aligner therapy.

Virtually Invisible

The clear plastic material means most people won't even notice you're straightening your teeth.

Comfortable

Smooth plastic aligners eliminate mouth irritation, cuts, and discomfort common with metal braces.

Removable

Remove your aligners before eating, enjoy your favorite foods, then brush and place them back in your mouth.

Easy Oral Hygiene

Remove your aligners to brush and floss, so you can maintain excellent oral health throughout treatment.

Fewer Check-Ins

Check in periodically to pick up your new aligners, and skip frequent adjustments common with braces.

Smile Preview

Digital technology lets you see what your finished smile will look like before you even begin treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to wear a retainer after Invisalign®?

Yes, wearing a retainer after Invisalign is essential to maintain your newly aligned smile. Without retention, your teeth will gradually shift back toward their original positions, often in a matter of months after finishing treatment.

Why Retainers Are Non-Negotiable

Your teeth sit in bone that's surrounded by elastic ligaments and soft tissue. Even after Invisalign moves your teeth into their ideal positions, these surrounding tissues need time to stabilize and adapt to the change.

Teeth have a natural tendency to shift throughout your life, even if you've never had orthodontic treatment. Age, genetics, teeth grinding, and even jaw growth can cause movement. Your retainer counteracts these forces and keeps your smile exactly where you want it.

What to Expect with Retainer Wear

Retention needs vary, but a typical schedule might look like this:

The First Few Months — Initially, you'll wear your retainer full-time (about 22 hours daily), removing it only for eating and cleaning. This intensive phase allows your bone and gum tissue to solidify around your newly positioned teeth.
Long-Term Retention — After the initial period, most patients transition to wearing their retainer only at night. Our Invisalign dentist in Twinsburg will provide personalized guidance based on your teeth's response and individual risk factors for shifting.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners Technology

Panoramic X-Rays

This type of x-ray captures the entire mouth—all your teeth, jaws, sinuses, and TMJs in a single, comprehensive image. We use panoramic x-rays for treatment planning dental implants, evaluating wisdom teeth, and diagnosing complex dental issues. The process is quick and easy. You simply stand and face the machine as the arm rotates around your head. Because the x-rays are extraoral (outside the mouth), they're also ideal for children, people with a sensitive gag reflex, or those with mobility issues.
