Clear aligners can be a great option for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth while maintaining a more natural-looking appearance throughout treatment.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to gently and gradually shift your teeth into a straighter, more comfortable position. As a longtime Invisalign dentist, Dr. Kai Hahn and the team at Timeless Family Dental in Portland have guided many patients through this modern approach to straightening teeth. Each set of Invisalign aligners is custom made for your smile, so your treatment feels personal from the very first visit.

What Can Clear Aligners Correct?

Clear aligners can be used to address a variety of common orthodontic concerns.

Treatment may help improve:

Crowded teeth
Crooked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Certain bite problems
Mild to moderate alignment concerns

During your consultation, Dr. Hahn will evaluate your smile and discuss whether Invisalign is an appropriate option for your specific needs.

Your Clear Aligner Treatment Process

Getting started with clear aligners doesn’t have to be complicated.

Consultation

Your treatment begins with an examination and discussion of your smile goals. Dr. Hahn will determine whether clear aligners are right for you.

Digital Treatment Planning

Your treatment is planned using 3-D computer imaging technology, helping create a detailed plan for how your teeth should move throughout treatment.

Receive Your Aligners

Your custom aligners are provided as a series. Each set is worn according to your treatment instructions before progressing to the next aligner.

Wear Your Aligners

Each set of aligners is typically worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Aligners are removed when you eat, drink, brush, and floss.

Regular Progress Visits

Dr. Hahn generally sees clear aligner patients about every six weeks to monitor progress and make sure treatment is moving forward as planned.

How Long Does Clear Aligner Treatment Take?

Every smile is different, so treatment times vary.

At Timeless Family Dental, the current average Invisalign treatment time is approximately 9 to 15 months, with the average patient using approximately 18 to 30 aligners. Your actual treatment time and number of aligners will depend on your individual needs.

Invisalign Aligners vs. Traditional Braces

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are clear, removable, and comfortable enough to fit into your daily routine with ease. You can eat your favorite foods, brush and floss normally, and enjoy a straighter smile without the look or feel of wires and brackets. Many patients also find clear aligners easier to keep clean, which can support better oral health throughout treatment.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

Treatment length with Invisalign varies from patient to patient, depending on factors like the amount of movement needed and how consistently the aligners are worn. We use the iTero scanner to capture precise digital impressions, which helps us plan a more cohesive and complete treatment from the start. Dr. Hahn will walk you through your personalized timeline during your consultation, so you know what to expect along the way.
