At Shrewsbury Dental Associates, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality, comprehensive dental care services and patient care for Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas. From Invisalign (VIPTop 1% Diamond+ Certified Provider), pediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and tooth replacement procedures, we are here for all things dental care.

Invisalign is suitable for treating all smiles – anyone aged six and older can use it! However, it’s best suited for teens and adults who can commit to wearing it for 22+ hours a day. Invisalign is best used for minor to moderate orthodontic issues such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbite, and underbite. It’s not recommended for people with severe bite issues or complex jaw problems (though in some cases, Invisalign can be combined with other treatments).

• There are many advantages to choosing Invisalign!
• They’re nearly invisible when worn.
• They’re removable, so you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss.
• They’re more comfortable than traditional metal braces (nobrackets or wires).
• Treatment is typically faster than with braces.
• There are fewer doctor visits needed compared to braces.

Every patient – and smile! – is different. So, treatment length varies. However, most people get the smile of their dreams within 6-18 months.

Several factors can affect your treatment timeline, including the severity of your orthodontic issues, your age, how long you wear your aligners, the number of aligners required, and any missed appointments. For optimal results, patients should wear their trays for 22+ hours a day and attend regular check-ins approximately every 12 weeks.

If we’re following the Molis method, patients typically receive around six trays at a time, with each tray worn for about two weeks. This structured approach helps keep your treatment on track and ensures your smile is progressing exactly as planned.
