What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move your teeth. Instead of the usual brackets and wires, these aligners are made of a strong plastic material and are removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Patients typically wear their aligners for 20–22 hours each day and move through a sequence of trays as treatment progresses. Lund Orthodontics offers Invisalign options for adults and teens, along with Invisalign First for younger patients who may benefit from early treatment. Your orthodontist determines whether Invisalign fits your needs after evaluating your teeth, bite, jaw, and treatment goals during your first appointment.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign combines orthodontic expertise with flexibility that can keep daily routines easy. Since the aligners are clear and removable, patients can straighten their teeth while maintaining many of their normal eating, hygiene, school, work, and social habits. Treatment is still professionally planned and monitored by a board-certified orthodontist.
Invisalign aligners are made from clear material and fit closely over the teeth, which makes them far less noticeable than traditional braces. Teens and adults can continue smiling through school, work, photos, meetings, and special events without making their orthodontic treatment the center of attention.
Plus, since Invisalign aligners are removable, you can take them out before meals instead of having to center your diet around brackets and wires. You can also brush and floss normally when you remove your aligners. Removable appliances make it easier to stay on top of your normal dental hygiene routine.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign may be a good option for children, teens, and adults who want to straighten their teeth or correct certain bite concerns without traditional braces. Candidates must be able to wear their aligners consistently, as most Invisalign patients need to keep them in place for approximately 20–22 hours each day. Following wear instructions plays an important role in keeping treatment moving as planned.
Invisalign can address many orthodontic concerns, but it is not the right solution for every smile. Some bite patterns, jaw relationships, dental restorations, or more complex cases may be better treated with another orthodontic approach. Lund Orthodontics does not use one-size-fits-all recommendations. Your orthodontist evaluates your bite, goals, lifestyle, and clinical needs before explaining which treatment makes the most sense and why.
Braces as an Invisalign Alternative
Self-ligating braces treatment with American Orthodontics Empower brackets is a great alternative to Invisalign! We use these brackets due to their superior clinical efficiency, patient comfort, easier cleaning, and compact design. You can still get started with braces on the same day as your first appointment.
Braces may be recommended when they give your orthodontist better control over a particular tooth movement or bite correction. During your consultation, we’ll explain why we recommend one treatment over another so you can make an informed decision rather than feeling pushed toward a specific product.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
How many hours a day do I need to wear Invisalign?
Most Invisalign patients should wear their aligners for about 20–22 hours each day. You can remove them for meals, brushing, and flossing, but consistent wear is important. If aligners aren’t worn consistently, your teeth may not move according to the treatment plan your orthodontist created.
Can children and teens get Invisalign?
Absolutely! Lund Orthodontics offers Invisalign First for younger patients and frequently treats teenagers with clear aligners. Age alone does not determine whether clear aligners are appropriate. Your orthodontist evaluates dental development, bite concerns, treatment goals, and the patient’s ability to wear the aligners consistently before recommending treatment.
How much does Invisalign cost at Lund Orthodontics?
Invisalign generally costs between $5,000 and $7,000 before insurance at Lund Orthodontics. There is no extra treatment fee simply because you chose Invisalign. Your exact cost depends on your individual case, treatment length, and insurance benefits.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
Neither option is automatically better for every patient. Invisalign offers removable, discreet trays, while braces may give an orthodontist different levels of control for certain tooth movements or bite problems. Lund Orthodontics evaluates your individual needs and explains why one treatment may be a stronger fit for your case.
Can I start Invisalign the same day as my consultation?
Lund Orthodontics offers same-day scans for Invisalign if you’re ready to start as soon as possible. Your aligners must be created in a lab before you wear them, but getting your scans done and sent out for aligner production on the same day as your initial consultation speeds up the process and saves you a visit to the orthodontist’s office.
