What are Invisalign® Clear Aligners?

Invisalign® clear aligners are clear, plastic aligners that are custom-made for each patient's teeth. They are designed to gradually shift teeth into their proper position, with each aligner slightly different from the one before it. Invisalign® clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for those who want to improve their smile without the noticeable appearance of traditional metal braces.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Hunt Valley, Maryland 

Everybody deserves to have a smile they love. But if you have crooked, crowded or misaligned teeth, you may be reluctant to go through treatment with unsightly metal braces to straighten your teeth to achieve that beautiful smile. 


Luckily, Nathanson Dental offers Invisalign®, an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the use of metal brackets and wires. Instead, it uses clear plastic removable aligners to gently nudge your teeth into their proper positions.


With the aligners used in Invisalign®, you don’t have to worry about unpleasant metal braces obstructing your smile. And since they’re easily removable, it’s much easier to maintain good dental hygiene and continue to eat the foods that you love.

How Long Does Invisalign® Take?

After an initial consultation with Dr. Nathanson to determine if Invisalign® is appropriate for your needs, we will take a set of photos and digital scans of your teeth to send to the experts at Invisalign®. There, they’ll create a set of custom aligners designed specifically for your teeth. Our Team will provide you with your first set of aligners and instruct you on how to use them to get your best results.


Initially, you’ll need to return to the dental office every week or two for us to assess your progress and give you new sets of aligners as your teeth move. But once you get used to them and we see that your treatment is progressing properly, we can usually extend visits to about once every four to six weeks.

The entire duration of the treatment is usually six months to a year, but may be shorter or longer depending on your individual situation.

Are Invisalign® Right for You?

Here are some problems that are commonly corrected with Invisalign®:

  • Overcrowding – This occurs when there is too little space for the teeth to align normally in the mouth. Overcrowding can cause tooth decay and increase the likelihood of gum disease.
  • Crooked teeth – This can occur when one or more of the teeth erupt out of alignment with the other teeth. Not only can this be unsightly, but it can cause problems with the bite and jaw joint (TMJ) as well.
  • Large gaps between teeth – This can sometimes occur either when teeth are missing or if they are “too small” in proportion to the jawbone.
  • Crossbite – This common dental problem occurs when one or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. As a consequence, uneven wear can lead to bone erosion and gum disease.
  • Deep overbite – This problem occurs when the upper teeth project further than, or completely cover, the lower teeth.
