How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses a series of clear, plastic aligners to slowly shift your teeth into better alignment. Each set is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next one in the series. To achieve the best results, you’ll need to wear them for 20–22 hours per day, even while you sleep.
Periodic check-ins at our Grantsville dental office ensure your progress stays on track. Most patients complete treatment in about 12 to 18 months, depending on their case. The process is simple, subtle, and fits easily into any daily routine!
Indications for Invisalign
Invisalign is a great option for treating mild to moderate alignment issues. Here are some of the bite concerns our clear aligner treatment can help:
Crowded Teeth
Crowding can detract from your smile’s appearance and make it more difficult to brush or floss. Invisalign gently guides teeth into place, creating space where it’s needed.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps between your teeth can make it more difficult to chew your food and may cause speech impediments. Invisalign can bring your teeth back together to give you confidence in your smile.
Bite Alignment
Underbites, overbites, cross bites, and other alignment issues can cause jaw pain and make it more difficult to eat or speak. Invisalign can often correct these problems, restoring the function of your smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces:
- Discreet Appearance: The trays are nearly invisible, so most people won’t even notice them.
- Comfortable Fit: Smooth plastic aligners won’t irritate your cheeks or gums.
- Removable: Eat your favorite foods and keep up your oral hygiene routine with ease.
- Fewer Office Visits: Check-ins are usually quicker and less frequent than with braces.
At Frandsen Dental of Grantsville, we make the Invisalign process simple, supportive, and customized to your smile goals.

Invisalign FAQs
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer since no two smiles are exactly the same. That said, there is an average: Invisalign usually takes 12-18 months to deliver results. Since traditional braces can take 3+ years, that’s a huge improvement. In fact, that’s one of the many reasons patients who have an important event on the horizon, like their wedding, opt for this innovative orthodontic treatment instead of traditional brackets and wires.
Is There Anything I Can’t Eat with Invisalign?
Although there aren’t any dietary restrictions with Invisalign, there are some foods that increase your risk of tooth decay and dental damage. So, if you want to maintain a healthy smile and stay on-track with your treatment plan, it’s important to cut back on added sugar and avoid extremely crunchy foods. Instead, do your best to fill your plate with foods that will benefit your oral and overall health, like cooked carrots, cottage cheese, and oatmeal.
Does Invisalign Hurt?
If you’re considering Invisalign in Grantsville, but you haven’t signed on the dotted line because you’re worried the teeth-straightening process will be painful, we have good news: it won’t! There are a few reasons for this, starting with the fact that there aren’t any metal components. Plus, your teeth are gradually moved into alignment with a series of clear aligners instead of monthly adjustment appointments. So, if you’re ready to have a straighter, healthier, and even more beautiful smile, don’t let a fear of discomfort stand in your way!
Can I Use Toothpaste to Clean My Invisalign Aligners?
No, you cannot use toothpaste to clean your aligners. Instead, use a damp, soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, mild dishwashing liquid. If stubborn stains or an unpleasant odor are starting to surface, then you can use a cleaning solution designed specifically for clear aligners. You can also bring yours with you to your check-in visits so we can give them a nice clean!
How Often Do I Need to Wear My Aligners?
You need to wear your aligners for a minimum of 20 hours a day to stay on-track with your treatment plan. If you’re not sure whether you’re meeting the mark or not, use the stopwatch on your phone! It’s also important to get in the habit of only taking your trays off when it’s absolutely necessary, like before you have your morning cup of coffee.
Can I Get Invisalign If I Smoke?
There are several reasons we recommend quitting smoking first, but a primary one is that it leaves patients with two not-so-great options. The first is taking their aligners off every time, which makes wearing them for 20+ hours a day basically impossible. The second is keeping their aligners on, which leads to noticeable, yellow discoloration.
If you are interested in straightening your teeth, but you’ve had trouble quitting smoking in the past, don’t hesitate to let us know. Remember, we aren’t here to judge you. Rather, we want to do our part to set you up for success!
