Invisalign Austin: Your Trusted Experts at Luv Braces
Looking for a modern, flexible way to straighten your smile in Austin? Invisalign at Luv Braces is your go-to option. Our board-certified orthodontists provide Invisalign from our North Austin office on W. Parmer Lane, and we offer orthodontic care across Austin, Bee Cave, Pflugerville and nearby areas.
What Does Invisalign Treatment Involve?
Invisalign treatment offers a clear path to a straighter smile through a series of transparent, removable aligners. It treats many of the same problems as traditional braces, including crowding, gaps and many common bite issues, which makes it a top choice for teens and adults.
At your initial consultation, we'll use advanced digital imaging to create a 3D model of your teeth. This allows us to design aligners that are a perfect fit for you. You'll switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, guiding your teeth into their ideal positions.
Benefits of Invisalign
The near-invisibility of Invisalign aligners is just the tip of the iceberg.
- Nearly Invisible: The clear aligners are hard to spot, offering a discreet treatment option.
- Removable Design: You can easily remove the aligners for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing, making daily life more convenient.
- No Food Restrictions: Because you take your aligners out to eat, there are no limits on what you can enjoy. Just brush before you put them back in.
- Easy Oral Hygiene: The removable nature of the aligners makes brushing and flossing a breeze, helping you maintain excellent oral health throughout your treatment.
- Comfort: Without wires or brackets to irritate your mouth, Invisalign offers a more comfortable experience.
- Fewer Office Visits: With no need for wire adjustments, you'll have fewer appointments, saving you time and effort. You'll still have regular 6-8 week check-ups to monitor progress.
- Predictable Results: Advanced 3D imaging and planning mean you'll know what to expect from your treatment.
How Does Invisalign in Austin Work?
The process is simple: wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, removing them only for meals and oral care. As you progress through the series, your teeth will gradually move into their new positions.
During your check-ups, our team will monitor your progress to make sure everything is going as planned. Consistency is key, since not wearing your aligners as directed can delay your treatment. Between visits, these tips for keeping your Invisalign clean help your aligners stay clear and comfortable.
Treatment Time and Patient Compliance
Treatment duration varies from person to person, but generally ranges from 6 to 18 months. The key to a successful Invisalign treatment in Austin is adhering to the recommended 20-22 hours of daily wear.

Can teens get Invisalign?

How many hours a day do I wear my aligners?
Plan on 20 to 22 hours a day. Take them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush and floss.
