Who Can Wear Invisalign?
Invisalign is a versatile orthodontic treatment suitable for both teenagers and adults. It offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces, making it an attractive choice for individuals of all ages.
However, it’s important to note that not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign. Your orthodontist will assess your dental needs and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment. Factors that may influence your candidacy include:
- Severity of orthodontic issues: Invisalign is generally effective for mild to moderate orthodontic problems.
- Oral health: Good oral health is essential for successful Invisalign treatment.
- Commitment to compliance: Invisalign requires consistent wear for optimal results.
Receiving Your Custom Invisalign Clear Aligners

- Custom Aligner Fabrication: Using the treatment plan as a guide, a series of clear, custom-made aligners will be fabricated for your teeth. These aligners are made of comfortable, BPA-free plastic material.
- Gradual Progression: Depending on your plan, you’ll wear each set of aligners for approximately one to two weeks. Each is slightly adjusted to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions.
- Regular Check-Ups: Throughout your treatment, you’ll have periodic check-up appointments with Dr. Grussmark. These visits are essential for tracking your progress and confirming your aligners work effectively.

Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners
Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is essential to maintain clarity, comfort, and effectiveness throughout your treatment. Here are some tips for caring for your aligners:
- Regular cleaning: Clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Gently brush the aligners to remove any food particles or plaque.
- Avoid staining foods and drinks: While your aligners are removable, it’s best to avoid consuming foods and beverages that may stain the aligners, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sauces. If you do indulge, be sure to remove your aligners beforehand.
- Rinse after removal: Whenever you remove your aligners, rinse them with water before placing them back in your mouth. This helps keep them fresh and clean.
- Store properly: When not wearing your aligners, store them in their protective case to prevent damage or loss.
- Follow wear instructions: Adhere to your orthodontist’s instructions regarding wear time. The more consistently you wear your aligners, the better your results will be.
