10 Things You Need to Know About Invisalign® Treatment

For Teens, Adults & Anyone Ready for a Confident Smile

Invisalign® clear aligners are one of the most popular orthodontic options today — and for good reason. Whether you’re a teen looking for a discreet way to straighten your teeth or an adult finally ready to invest in your smile, Invisalign offers comfort, convenience, and clinically proven results.

Here are the top 10 things patients of all ages should know:

1. Invisalign® is the modern way to straighten teeth.

Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners created from a digital scan of your teeth. These aligners gently guide teeth into the right position without brackets, wires, or the look of traditional braces. 95% of orthodontists agree that Invisalign is the future of teeth straightening.¹

2. It’s effective for both simple and complex cases.

Whether you’re a teen with crowding or spacing, or an adult with a bite issue that needs correction, Invisalign can handle a wide range of orthodontic challenges. SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features allow for more predictable tooth movement that fits your lifestyle.²

3. Orthodontists trust the results.

Experience matters — and so does consistency. 95% of experienced Invisalign orthodontists achieve the finish they want for their patients using clear aligners.¹ At Christian Manley Orthodontics, our team uses digital planning tools to create precise, predictable outcomes every time.

4. Invisalign is exceptionally comfortable.

No brackets rubbing, no poking wires, and fewer emergencies. Invisalign aligners are trimmed to the gumline for a smooth, comfortable fit whether you’re in school, at work, or on the go.

5. People do wear their aligners — teens and adults alike.

Studies show compliance is strong: Teens wear their aligners 20–22 hours per day, exactly as recommended.³ For peace of mind, Invisalign teen aligners even include compliance indicators. And if an aligner is lost, replacement trays are available.

6. Invisalign often boosts confidence.

Clear aligners help patients feel good about their smile even during treatment.
Studies show teens wearing Invisalign are 2x more likely to experience a boost in self-esteem,⁴ but adults frequently report the same benefits — especially since the aligners are so discreet.

7. Fewer, faster appointments (and fewer emergencies).

Invisalign aligners don’t require wire tightening, so visits are typically shorter and less frequent. With no brackets or wires, emergency visits for breakage drop dramatically, giving busy teens and adults their time back.

8. Invisalign fits easily into everyday life.

Eat what you love. Brush and floss normally. Smile in photos without hesitation.
Invisalign’s removable, nearly invisible design lets patients keep living their lives. Teens can play sports safely, and adults can confidently attend events and meetings without feeling self-conscious.

9. Many insurance plans help cover the cost.

A large number of orthodontic insurance plans cover Invisalign up to 50%.⁶ At Christian Manley Orthodontics, we also offer flexible payment options to make treatment accessible for every budget.

10. Results can start to show in as little as 6 months.

With consistent wear, Invisalign treatment can transform smiles quickly — sometimes in six months for mild to moderate cases.⁷ And because the aligners are clear, you’ll be able to see the progress throughout your journey.
