Invisalign® FAQs


The Invisalign System is a Series of Clear Aligners Used to Straighten Teeth.

  • Time for a snack? No problem. Take out your aligners to eat or drink whenever you want.
  • You can remove your Invisalign aligners so you can brush and floss regularly, and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
  • You can occasionally remove your Invisalign aligners to enjoy a special night out.
  • There’s no need to change a thing. Continue your day-to-day activities while still straightening your teeth.
  • Be yourself with Invisalign aligners. Since they are clear, you don’t have to hide your smile while going through treatment.
  • With Invisalign treatment, it’s easy to make your smile picture-perfect for that special occasion.
  • Invisalign treatment appointments work with your schedule. Most visits are in and out, with a quick progress check once every six weeks.

The Invisalign system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Invisalign treatment uses advanced 3D computer imaging technology to depict your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.

Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth — and your teeth only — to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series until the final position of your teeth is achieved.

Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by your doctor based on your specific needs.

Invisalign aligners are clear, which makes Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others. Invisalign aligners are also removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign treatment does not use metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth. In addition, you’ll spend less time in the doctor’s chair and scheduling appointments, and more time out doing the things you love.

Lastly, Invisalign treatment technology allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start your treatment, so you can preview how your straight teeth will look once your treatment is complete.

More than 5,000,000 patients worldwide have been treated with Invisalign aligners. The number of Invisalign smiles grows daily. At your next appointment, we can answer any questions you might have, and get you started on the smile you’ve always wanted.

What Our Patients are Saying

I cannot recommend Cranston Orthodontics enough! After a two-year journey, I finally have the perfect smile I’ve always wanted. The team’s attention to detail and clinical expertise throughout the entire process was incredible. They didn't just focus on straightening my teeth; they made sure my bite and overall alignment were flawless. It was a long commitment, but the results speak for themselves. If you're looking for a team that truly cares about the end result, this is the place to go! Highly recommended!

I visited Cranston Orthodontics today with my son for a second opinion. The office is clean and organized. The staff is kind and courteous. Dr Cosmo and his staff evaluated my son and told me that he did not need any of the services suggested at our first orthodontic visit elsewhere. Dr Cosmo answered all my questions and shared valuable information with me about what my son might need in the future. Dr Cosmo also has a wonderful personality! I highly recommend Cranston Orthodontics!!!!

Wow, I have dentist hopped for years and never really felt "at home" anywhere. With three kids, it's hard to find a place where you feel comfortable because let's be honest, the dentist office isn't necessarily a person's top choice of places to visit. I must say, this place on the other hand handles my children with care and always explains everything to a T. The assistant, Veronica, is so friendly and my daughter loves her! I am so happy with this establishment and I can happily say, I have finally found my home for dentistry!

My experience has always been excellent. From the very beginning, Marlene has been wonderful—she is consistently pleasant, patient, and very friendly with my children. She always makes sure to answer any questions I have and truly goes above and beyond. The rest of the staff is equally kind. They always greet my children and me with a smile, and their welcoming attitude makes every visit enjoyable. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
