WHAT IS INVISALIGN?

Invisalign straightens your teeth using clear plastic aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. You wear each set for about two weeks, then switch to the next one. The aligners gradually move your teeth into place.

You can take them out to eat and brush your teeth, which means no food restrictions and easier cleaning. Dr. Morgan uses 3D scanning technology to design your aligners, so there are no messy impressions. Most treatment takes 12 to 18 months, and you'll start seeing changes within the first few months.

WHO BENEFITS FROM INVISALIGN?

If you have gaps, crooked teeth, crowding, or bite issues, Invisalign can help. Adults in Richardson who want to improve their smile for work or social reasons love that the aligners are nearly invisible. Teens like being able to eat what they want and not worry about playing sports with metal braces.

The best candidates are people who can commit to wearing the aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. Dr. Morgan will examine your teeth during a consultation and let you know if Invisalign will work for your situation. She'll also show you a digital preview of what your finished smile will look like.

The benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign gives you the freedom to straighten your teeth on your own terms. Here's what makes it different from traditional braces.

Nearly Invisible Treatment

Clear aligners mean you can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. Perfect for professionals, parents, and anyone who doesn't want metal braces affecting how they look.

Eat and Drink What You Want

Remove your aligners for meals. No banned foods, no worrying about getting food stuck in wires. Brush and floss normally, which keeps your teeth healthier during treatment.

Fewer Office Visits

Check-ins every six to eight weeks at our Richardson office. Quick appointments that fit into your schedule without taking up your whole day.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Dr. Morgan has helped dozens of Richardson patients achieve straighter smiles with Invisalign. Here's what you can expect from start to finish.

Request an appointment

Step 1: Free Consultation

Dr. Morgan examines your teeth and talks with you about what you want to change. She'll use our iTero 3D scanner to create digital images of your teeth (no goopy impressions). You'll find out if Invisalign is right for you and get an estimate of how long treatment will take.

Step 2: See Your Future Smile

Using the 3D scans, we'll create a digital model showing exactly how your teeth will move and what your smile will look like when you're done. You'll see the results before you even start, so there are no surprises.

Step 3: Get Your Custom Aligners

Your aligners are made specifically for your teeth. You'll receive several sets at once and switch to a new set every two weeks. Each aligner moves your teeth a little bit closer to their final position.

Step 4: Wear Them Daily

Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours every day. Take them out only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth. Most people adjust to wearing them within a week.

Step 5: Quick Progress Checks

Come to our Richardson office every six to eight weeks. Dr. Morgan will check how your teeth are moving and give you your next sets of aligners. These visits usually take less than 30 minutes.

Step 6: Enjoy Your New Smile

After your last aligner, you'll wear a retainer to keep your teeth from shifting back. We'll give you retainers and show you how to use them. Then you're done and can enjoy your straight smile.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Your teeth might feel sore for a day or two when you start wearing a new set of aligners. This pressure means your teeth are moving, which is good. Most patients say Invisalign is way more comfortable than metal braces with wires and brackets.

Can I still eat my favorite foods?

Yes. Take your aligners out before eating, then brush your teeth and put them back in. No food is off limits like it would be with traditional braces.

Will people notice I'm wearing aligners?

The aligners are clear and fit close to your teeth. Most people won't notice you're wearing them unless you tell them. Patients love that they can straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious.

What if I lose an aligner?

Call our Richardson office right away. Depending on where you are in treatment, Dr. Morgan might tell you to move to the next set or go back to the previous one while we order a replacement.

Do I have to change my daily routine?

Not really. Just brush your teeth after meals before putting your aligners back in. Clean your aligners with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water daily. That's about it.
