How Invisalign Works
The Invisalign system involves a series of custom-fitted aligners made from a smooth, BPA-free plastic material. These aligners are designed based on a 3D digital scan of your teeth, ensuring a precise fit and effective movement. Our treatment process for Invisalign follows these steps:
Consultation & Digital Scan
An Invisalign Dentist assesses your teeth using advanced imaging technology to create a custom treatment plan.
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Your aligners are specifically designed to apply controlled pressure on different teeth over time.
Gradual Tooth Movement
Every 1-2 weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
Removability & Comfort
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
Final Refinements
Once the teeth reach their optimal position, retainers help maintain the results.
What Can Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign is a versatile treatment option for various orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowding – When teeth overlap due to lack of space.
- Gaps – Unwanted spaces between teeth.
- Misalignment – Teeth that are crooked or out of place.
- Overbite – Upper front teeth overlap excessively over the lower teeth.
- Underbite – Lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth.
- Crossbite – Some upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth when biting down.
With Invisalign, patients can achieve a straighter smile with minimal disruption to their daily routine.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is an excellent option for many individuals looking to straighten their teeth discreetly. However, it works best for mild to moderate cases of misalignment, spacing issues, and bite concerns. If you have any of the following dental concerns, you may be a good candidate for Invisalign:
- Mild to moderate crowding or gaps
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite that does not require extensive correction
- Teeth that have slightly shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
- A desire for a nearly invisible and removable alternative to braces
At Kraner Family Dentistry, we offer personalized consultation for Invisalign to assess your smile and create a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our team provides comfortable, effective, and discreet orthodontic solutions for both teens and adults.

Frequently Asked Questions
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies based on individual cases. On average, most patients' complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, but some may see results in as little as 6 months, depending on the complexity of their alignment issues. Our team at Kraner Family Dentistry for Invisalign in O’Fallon will assess your smile and provide a customized treatment timeline.
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces, including:
- Virtually invisible – No metal brackets or wires.
- Removable – Eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease.
- Comfortable – Smooth plastic aligners reduce irritation.
- Fewer visits – Requires fewer in-office adjustments compared to braces.
While Invisalign is an excellent option for mild to moderate alignment issues, traditional braces may be recommended for complex orthodontic cases.
For the best results, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing. Consistently wearing your aligners as instructed will help ensure faster and more effective results.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. However, some patients experience mild pressure or discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. This sensation is normal and a sign that your teeth are moving as planned. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few days.
Invisalign is effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
For severe misalignment or complex bite issues, our experienced dentists will evaluate whether Invisalign is the best option or if an alternative treatment is recommended.
