Invisalign makes orthodontic issues a thing of the past! Their tried and proven clear aligner system corrects problems with crooked teeth, uneven spacing, misaligned bites, and overcrowding. If you live in or near Roseville, California, Dr. Jyothsna Reddy Sabalam from Roseville Family Dentistry is the person to see for an Invisalign consultation near me. Here are some questions we’re often asked about Invisalign.
What does an Invisalign consultation entail?
An Invisalign consultation is a scheduled appointment to meet your Invisalign dentist, discuss your smile goals, and have your smile evaluated for clear aligner therapy. It entails a visual inspection of your teeth and digital imaging to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign treatment. Dr. Reddy will also assess your oral health to ensure your teeth are healthy enough for this procedure. If Invisalign is a good fit for you, we’ll plan your procedure, provide a time frame for completion, and review treatment costs so you’ll know what to expect.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a series of removable, transparent aligners to realign your smile. The aligners are custom-made for your mouth and designed for full-time use. Ideally, they should be on your teeth 22 hours a day. You’ll remove the aligners, especially when eating and brushing your teeth. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks or so to continue straightening your teeth until your treatment is complete.

Can Invisalign correct all orthodontic issues?
Invisalign has a great track record of straightening crooked, overlapping, or uneven teeth, closing gaps between teeth, and relieving problems caused by overcrowding. It also works well for correcting mild-to-moderate misaligned bites. If your alignment issue is too severe for Invisalign, Dr. Reddy will recommend an alternative orthodontic system.
Can I eat with Invisalign?
No, it’s not recommended to eat with the aligners in place. They should always be removed for snacks, meals, and any beverage other than water. Having removable aligners eliminates dietary restrictions. You can continue to eat the foods you love throughout your treatment. We recommend a balanced diet that limits sugary foods to help prevent cavities.
What is the best way to care for my aligners?
Aligner care is fairly easy. Simply brush the aligners with a soft-bristle toothbrush and clear liquid soap to remove bacteria and debris. Soaking the aligners in Invisalign solution also helps keep them clean. Always rinse your aligners with warm water before putting them back in your mouth. When not in use, store them in a clean container for safekeeping.
What happens after my treatment is complete?
You’ll be given a final retainer to wear to keep your teeth from relapsing. You’ll wear the retainer full-time for 3-6 months and afterward only at night. That’s how you keep your smile beautifully aligned for life!
