What Is Invisalign Treatment?
Are you looking for a more comfortable and less visible way to straighten your teeth? At UMG Family Dentistry in Columbia, MD, we offer Invisalign treatment to help you achieve a beautiful, confident smile. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults who want to improve their smile without the hassle of metal braces. Invisalign orthodontic treatment is a modern orthodontic solution designed to straighten your teeth using custom-made, clear plastic trays called Invisalign trays, which allow you to straighten your teeth discreetly. UMG Family Dentistry offers Invisalign orthodontics for teens and adults, providing a comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Schedule a consultation at our Columbia, MD practice to discover how this treatment option can help give you the smile you've always wanted.
How Do Invisalign Aligners Work?
Invisalign treatment begins with a 3D scan or impression of your teeth. Using these imprints, our team will create a personalized treatment plan, detailing how your teeth will move throughout the course of the treatment, which will outline how long Invisalign treatment will last. Invisalign aligners feature a series of clear, custom-made trays, ensuring a comfortable fit. The aligners will gently shift your teeth into their ideal position. You'll be given a set to wear for 20 – 22 hours a day. You can remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, but for the best results, you should wear them as much as possible. Every 1 – 2 weeks, you'll switch to a new set of aligners, gradually moving your teeth closer to their desired position. Invisalign treatment time varies, depending on each patient's needs, but on average, most treatments take about 12 – 18 months. Our team will monitor your progress at periodic checkups and make necessary adjustments.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign Orthodontics?

- No dietary restrictions like with conventional braces
- Helps with many oral concerns, including bite, gaps, and overcrowding issues
