Invisalign in Frisco
INVISALIGN® Clear Aligner Therapy in Frisco, TX
A dazzlingly straight smile is extremely appealing from both an aesthetic and health perspective. Wearing braces for two or three years to get that straighter smile, however, is considerably less appealing for many adult and teenage patients. Invisalign® gives you a way to straighten your teeth and correct certain other orthodontic problems without the inconvenience of traditional braces; get in touch with Blue Star Smiles today to learn more about Invisalign in Frisco, TX.
HOW INVISALIGN® WORKS
Our team will take a 3D scan and multiple photos of your smile, which will be sent to a lab that can use them to create a number of personalized plastic aligners. (The exact number will vary based on the kind of changes that need to be made.) Each aligner is worn for a predetermined period of time, which usually comes out to two weeks each for 20 to 22 hours a day. You’ll need to attend checkups every six weeks so that we can confirm you’re making progress.
Top Advantages of Choosing Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
Invisalign is typically considered as an alternative to traditional metal braces. People who are candidates for Invisalign tend to favor the treatment for the various benefits that it offers, such as:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, providing a discreet orthodontic treatment option.
- Removability: Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions, allowing for greater flexibility and maintaining oral hygiene.
- Comfort: Smooth and custom-fitted, Invisalign aligners typically cause less irritation than traditional braces.
- Fewer Dietary Restrictions: No restrictions on specific foods since aligners are removed during meals.
- Predictable Results: Advanced technology allows for precise treatment planning, offering a clearer understanding of the expected outcome.
- Shorter Treatment Time: In some cases, Invisalign may achieve desired results in a shorter time compared to traditional braces.
- Reduced Dental Visits: Typically requires fewer office visits for adjustments compared to traditional braces.
- Minimized Impact on Lifestyle: Invisalign aligners integrate seamlessly into daily life without affecting speech or appearance.
- Improved Oral Health: Easier cleaning with removable aligners reduces the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign typically doesn't cause significant pain. You may experience mild discomfort during the first few days of wearing a new aligner set as your teeth begin to shift. This discomfort is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Generally, treatment can be completed in 12-18 months, but some cases may take longer or shorter. Our dentists at Blue Star Smiles will provide you with an estimated treatment timeline during your consultation.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?
You should remove your aligners before eating and drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
Brushing your aligners gently with a soft toothbrush and toothpaste will keep them clean and free of odor. You can also use a cleaning solution specifically designed for Invisalign aligners.

“Came here to get a retainer and I'm really liking their 3D scanner for your teeth over doing impressions. It's a lot faster and less uncomfortable. I really like how they care about how YOU want your smile to look, instead of telling you. I was also given very helpful advice about my TMJ and how I can work to fix it!! ”
