Clear Aligners

In Montvale, NJ, and Across Bergen County

Invisalign®

Clear aligners are an alternative to traditional braces and are designed to help guide teeth into their proper position. Similar to braces, clear aligners use a gradual force to control tooth movement but without metal wires or brackets. Invisalign®, our clear teeth aligner of choice at Montvale Orthodontics, are a series of clear appliances that look and feel similar to bleaching trays. Each aligner is worn for approximately one week and slowly moves the teeth. Teeth are eventually positioned into their appropriate position as planned per stage.

All Day Wear for Striking Results

Aligners should be worn for at least 20 hours a day to reach the desired maximum effectiveness. Each aligner is worn for three weeks before changing to the next one. The length of treatment with aligners depends upon the severity of each case. Typically, aligner treatment can be as short as three weeks or as long as six months. Overall, aligners offer a much shorter treatment than traditional braces.

Invisalign® Teen

Invisalign® Teen aligners differ from regular Invisalign® aligners because they allow space for your teen’s molars to continue growing.

Because Invisalign® aligners can be removed, your teen can continue their normal brushing and flossing regimen. This means less chance of plaque, decay, and gum disease. Invisalign® Teen is made of a smooth, comfortable plastic. There are no wires to poke or brackets to break, meaning fewer orthodontic emergencies.

Invisalign® Teen requires fewer orthodontic appointments. If your teen loses an aligner, Invisalign® Teen will replace it! We can provide up to six free individual aligners should a loss occur. Give your child the gift of self-confidence and good oral health! It’s a gift that lasts a lifetime!

  • How long is the treatment period for clear aligners?

    Montvale Orthodontics aligners' treatment time can vary based on the severity of the dental issue being corrected and your orthodontist's advice. Usually, treatment falls into three categories:

    A six-month timeframe if minimal treatment is required, i.e., correcting minor alignment issues.

    A 12-month treatment if the treatment is a little more extensive and will require more time to correct.

    An unlimited timeframe where the patient is provided as many aligners as needed to fully correct the issue.

  • How do I use Invisalign®?

    • You should wear your aligner at all times, except when eating or brushing.
    • Keep aligners in the case (provided) anytime the aligners are not in your mouth.
    • Clean the aligner twice daily by running cold water over the, every morning and night. You may also use a denture cleaner to clean the Invisalign® aligners.
    • Keep aligners away from hot temperatures including hot water, car dashboards, microwaves, etc.
    • Practice speaking whenever you change aligners, as it may slightly impact your speech for a few hours.
  • Does Invisalign® hurt?

    Invisalign®, in general, does not cause pain, however, some patients may experience temporary discomfort the first few days after a new aligner is fitted. This is caused by the minor movements and bone regrowth around the teeth.
