Invisalign in Atlanta, GA
Straighten your teeth discreetly with clear, removable aligners.
Straightening your teeth no longer means committing to years of metal brackets and wires. At Atlanta Dental Center, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently and gradually move your teeth into place. They’re nearly invisible and completely removable, so you can transform your smile without anyone noticing, and without giving up the foods you love or changing how you brush and floss.

Clear Aligners
Invisalign at Atlanta Dental Center
Each set of Invisalign aligners is worn for about two weeks before you move on to the next in the series, with every set shifting your teeth a little closer to their final position. Because the aligners are smooth, clear plastic, they’re comfortable to wear and discreet in photos and conversation.
And because they pop out easily, you simply remove them to eat, brush, and floss, then put them right back in, no food restrictions and no awkward cleaning around brackets. For teens and adults who want straighter teeth without the look and hassle of traditional braces, it’s an ideal solution.

Invisalign FAQ
- How long does Invisalign treatment take?
- Invisalign treatment typically takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of the misalignment. Mild crowding or spacing cases may complete in as few as 6 months, while cases involving bite correction or significant tooth movement may take 12 to 18 months. Atlanta Dental Center provides a projected timeline during the initial consultation.
- Is Invisalign really invisible?
- Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack material, a patented clear thermoplastic that is virtually transparent. The aligners fit tightly against the teeth with no metal brackets or wires, making them difficult to notice in normal conversation at arm’s length.
- Can I eat normally with Invisalign?
- Yes. Invisalign aligners are removed for all meals and snacks, so there are no dietary restrictions. Patients can eat everything they normally would, unlike traditional braces which require avoiding hard, sticky, and chewy foods.
- Does Invisalign hurt?
- Patients typically feel mild pressure for the first 1 to 2 days when switching to a new set of aligners, which indicates the teeth are moving. This sensation subsides quickly and is significantly less than the discomfort associated with tightening traditional braces.
- How often do I wear the aligners?
- Invisalign aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours per day to maintain the treatment schedule. They are removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Each set of aligners is worn for 1 to 2 weeks before advancing to the next set.
- Is Invisalign suitable for teenagers?
- Yes. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for adolescent patients and includes compliance indicators, small blue dots on the aligners that fade with wear, allowing parents and the dental team at Atlanta Dental Center to verify the aligners are being worn consistently.
- How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
- Aligners should be rinsed under lukewarm water and gently brushed with a soft toothbrush and clear antibacterial soap each time they are removed. Hot water should be avoided as it can warp the thermoplastic material. Invisalign cleaning crystals are also effective for removing buildup.
- Will I need a retainer after Invisalign treatment?
- Yes. A retainer is required after Invisalign treatment to prevent the teeth from gradually shifting back toward their original positions. Atlanta Dental Center provides both fixed lingual retainers and removable clear retainers, depending on the patient’s preference and case requirements.
