Virtual AppointmentInvisalign® Clear Aligners Round Rock
The Top Choice for Convenient Clear Aligners
Our Round Rock orthodontic team offers Invisalign clear aligners for patients who need orthodontic treatment, but do not like the look of metal braces. Invisalign is a series of clear aligners worn to move teeth. It is the most aesthetic option as it is almost invisible, which is why it’s such a popular choice among adults seeking orthodontic treatment. Besides the aesthetic advantage, with Invisalign, it’s easy to keep your teeth clean, much more comfortable, there are no diet restrictions—you just take them out to eat!
Clear aligners may not seem as powerful as metal braces and wires, but the effectiveness is nearly equal in many cases. With Invisalign, we’re able to predictably treat many cases that would have required braces in the past, from slightly crooked teeth to more major dental problems. Call our office today to schedule a consultation and learn whether Invisalign clear aligners in Round Rock are right for you.

How Does Invisalign® Work?
The first step of every Invisalign treatment is a consultation with Dr. Asrar. She’ll examine your mouth, inspect your X-rays, and help determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign treatment. If you are, our team will provide you with a treatment timeline and cost estimate and take a digital impression with our iTero scanner. That way, as soon as you decide to move forward with treatment, we can send your impression off to the Invisalign laboratory to craft your first set of trays.
After our team teaches you how to use and clean your clear aligners, we’ll send you home to start your treatment. You’ll need to wear your Invisalign trays for between 20 and 22 hours each day. You’ll return to our office every eight or so weeks for a quick progress check. Dr. Asrar will make sure your teeth are adjusting as they should be, and our team will provide you with the next series of aligners in your treatment plan until you achieve your final results.

Invisalign FAQs
Can You Get Invisalign After Braces?
It’s possible, yes. In fact, many patients who experienced orthodontic relapse in the years following their time with traditional braces can achieve a straight smile again with Invisalign in Round Rock! So, don’t let the fact that you’ve pursued orthodontic treatment before stop you from scheduling an appointment with our team at Big Smile Orthodontics. Once we have an in-depth understanding of your dental history, your oral health, and your smile goals, we can determine if you’re a good candidate for clear aligners.
Can You Eat with Invisalign Trays In?
Since eating with your Invisalign aligners on can cause them to stain, warp, and even break, it’s crucial that you remove them first. When you do, rinse them with clean, cool water and then place them in their designated case. That way, they don’t accidentally get thrown away, misplaced, or damaged while you enjoy your meal.
What Should I Do if My Invisalign Tray Broke?
If there is a small, hairline crack in your aligner, then you can continue to wear it (while exercising extreme caution to prevent further damage, of course). If the break is more substantial, then you should call our Round Rock office. That way, we can determine if it’s safe to move on to the next set of aligners in the series or if it’s best to have you revert to the previous set while we have a replacement made.
Important reminder: You should NOT use superglue or any other household adhesives to attempt to repair a broken aligner.
How Do I Clean My Invisalign?
There are a few steps we recommend taking to keep your aligners clean and clear, starting with rinsing them with cool water each time you take them off. Then, before you put them back on, use clear, mild dishwashing liquid and a damp, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the surface. You can also use the cleaning crystals that came in your welcome kit on days when your trays need a deeper clean or if you need to wear them a little longer than originally planned.
Will I Need to Wear a Retainer After Invisalign Treatment?
The short answer is “yes.” After all, consistently wearing a retainer plays a crucial role in preventing orthodontic relapse (the phenomenon when teeth drift back into their previously misaligned positions following orthodontic treatment). So, if you want to preserve your hard-earned results, it’s crucial that you wear yours as directed.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
While traditional braces typically take 2-3 years, the average treatment timeline with Invisalign is only 12-18 months. With that said, it’s possible for your teeth-straightening journey to be shorter or longer than that. For instance, if you have a relatively minor gap between your two front teeth, then we may be able to achieve the results you desire in just 4-8 months!
