Explore how Invisalign in Jackson, MS, can realize your orthodontic goals.
Benefits of Invisalign
Is Removable
Your aligners are removed during meals, so there are no dietary restrictions as there are with braces.
Is Discreet
Patients love the fact that Invisalign uses clear, discreet aligners. No one will know you are wearing them.
Improves Oral Health
Orthodontic treatment can help prevent tooth decay, as crooked teeth can make it difficult to thoroughly brush and floss. Correcting misalignment can also help treat bruxism and TMJ disorder.
Enhances Your Appearance
By straightening your smile, this cosmetic dentistry treatment can enhance the overall appearance of your grin.

Maintain Oral Hygiene
Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth. It is also a good idea to clean your aligners or at least rinse them before putting them back on your teeth.

Clean Aligners
Clean your clear aligners with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap or nonabrasive toothpaste. Rinse with cool or warm water; do not use hot water, as it can warp the trays.
Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign in Jackson, MS
Q. How long does clear aligner treatment take?
A. This will depend on the severity of your concerns. Mild concerns can take as little as six to 12 months to resolve. More severe issues can take about 18 to 24 months. Your dentist will be able to provide an accurate timeline during your initial consultation.
Q. What happens if I lose or damage one of my clear aligners?
A. If you lose or damage one of your aligner trays, contact our Jackson practice as soon as possible. In some cases, you may be able to begin the next set in the series, and in some cases, you may need a new aligner.
Q. Is there an age minimum for Invisalign treatment?
A. Invisalign treatment is best for patients who are responsible enough to wear and maintain the aligners. Many children and teens are not ready for this responsibility. During your consultation, you and your dentist can determine if Invisalign is appropriate for your child. If your child cannot commit to wearing the aligners for the required time, traditional braces may be a better treatment option.
