Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to mean traditional metal braces. With Invisalign clear aligners at Advanced Dental of Westport, CT, you can achieve a beautiful, confident smile without the discomfort or appearance of metal brackets and wires. Our Westport dental team is proud to serve patients from Fairfield, Norwalk, West Haven, and beyond with effective orthodontic solutions.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign® is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. These aligners are designed to be discreet and comfortable, making them a great choice for teens and adults looking for a nearly invisible way to straighten their smile

Why Choose Invisalign Over Braces?

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign offers several advantages:

• Clear and almost invisible — most people won’t notice you’re wearing aligners

• Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing

• Fewer office visits and no painful wire tightening

• Comfortable fit with smooth, BPA-free plastic

• Works well for many bite and alignment issues

At Advanced Dental of Westport CT, we tailor Invisalign treatment plans for each patient’s unique needs, ensuring a smooth straightening process from start to finish.

How Invisalign Works — Step by Step

1. Comprehensive Invisalign Consultation

Your Invisalign journey begins with a detailed evaluation at our Westport, CT dental office. Our experienced team will assess your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign is right for you. We’ll discuss your goals and answer questions about the process so you feel confident moving forward.

2. Custom Digital Treatment Plan

Using advanced digital imaging, we create a personalized treatment plan. This plan shows the exact movements of your teeth throughout treatment — from the first aligner to your final smile. You’ll even get a preview of your expected results before treatment begins.

3. Receiving Your Clear Aligners

Once your plan is finalized, your custom Invisalign aligners are made to fit comfortably over your teeth. Each aligner is slightly different — designed to make small, controlled adjustments that guide your teeth into the correct alignment.

4. Wearing Your Aligners

To achieve optimal results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating and oral care. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every 1–2 weeks as your teeth gradually move into place. These small changes happen without the need for wires or brackets.

5. Regular Progress Check-Ins

Every 6–8 weeks, you’ll visit Advanced Dental of Westport for a quick check-in. During these appointments, we’ll assess your progress, provide your next set of aligners, and answer any questions you have about your treatment.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

Treatment time varies per case, but most Invisalign patients complete their journey in about 12–18 months depending on complexity and consistency wearing aligners.
