Is there anything that invisible braces can’t treat?

Invisible braces can treat any non-surgical case of malocclusion compared to traditional braces. That said, there are some situations where traditional braces or any other type of orthodontics will need surgery for significant jaw abnormalities. After your consultation and X-rays, our team can let you know if Invisalign is the best option for you. It is important to keep wearing the trays in your mouth for the duration of your treatment at least 22 hours a day. If you don’t think that will be possible or you are forgetful, traditional braces might be the only option. Call Marconi Dental Group in Carmichael, California, today or schedule your appointment using this website. During your consultation, our dedicated providers can let you know if you are an ideal candidate for invisible braces.

How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?

You need to keep your aligners in optimal condition. To do that, prevent the buildup of food and plaque by rinsing them in cool tap water after eating or drinking and also make sure that you rinsed your mouth with a sip of water. Do not use hot water. Before going to bed, brush your invisible braces with a soft toothbrush and soap before you put them back in.

Is treatment with invisible braces painful?

Treatment with Invisalign is not painful at all. You won’t experience tooth ache, cuts in your cheek or sore spots in your mouth like with traditional metal braces. Because the clear aligners are smooth, they don’t irritate your mouth. With the two-week wear protocol for each pair of aligners, you will not experience dental ache or pressure on your teeth.

Invisalign clear aligner treatment for straighter teeth at Marconi Dental Group in Carmichael, CA.

The comfortable path to a straighter smile

If you have been thinking about straightening your teeth but are not sure traditional braces are right for you, Carmichael Invisalign at Marconi Dental Group might be exactly what you are looking for. These custom-made, virtually invisible aligners gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position comfortably, discreetly, and on your timeline.

At Marconi Dental Group, our doctors use Invisalign — the best research-backed clear aligner therapy available — to give patients beautiful, lasting results. From your first consultation to your final retainer fitting, our team guides you through every step of the process with precision technology and genuine care.

Why Carmichael Invisalign is the clear choice

Virtually invisible

Clear, custom-made aligners fit snugly over your teeth, so most people will not even notice you are wearing them.

Removable and convenient

Take your aligners out to eat, brush, and floss — or for special occasions. Just wear them at least 22 hours a day to stay on track.

Comfortable from day one

Smooth, custom-fit trays with no sharp brackets or wires. You may feel mild pressure when switching to a new tray — that is just your smile moving in the right direction.

Designed for results

Invisalign is just as effective as braces for most alignment cases, and our team uses iTero digital scanning technology to map your treatment plan with precision.

Retainers included in your plan

After treatment, we provide Hawley, Vivera, or bonded retainers to keep your results looking great long-term.

How Invisalign works at Marconi Dental Group

Step 1: Consultation and iTero digital scan

We start with a comprehensive consultation and use our iTero scanner to capture precise digital impressions of your teeth — no goopy molds required. We will map out your full treatment plan so you can see your projected results before you even begin.

Step 2: Custom aligners crafted to fit your smile

Based on your scan, a series of custom clear aligners is fabricated specifically for you. Each set is engineered to shift your teeth gradually and predictably.

Step 3: Wear, Switch, Repeat

You will wear each set of aligners for approximately 1–2 weeks, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth. As you progress through your sets, your smile continues to shift into alignment.

Step 4: Check-ins and progress monitoring

We will schedule periodic check-ins at our Carmichael office to monitor your progress, answer questions, and ensure your treatment is moving as planned.

Step 5: Final retainers to lock in your results

Once your final set of aligners has done its job, we will fit you with a retainer — Hawley, Vivera, or bonded — to maintain your new smile for years to come. Our goal is to create alignment and increase the longevity of your teeth.

What to expect in your first week with Invisalign

Starting Invisalign is exciting, but it is normal to have questions about the adjustment period. Here is what the first week typically looks like:

Mild pressure: When you first put in a new tray, you may notice a slight tightness. This means the aligners are doing their job and your teeth are shifting.
Talking adjustments: A slight lisp is common in the first few days. It goes away as you get used to wearing your trays — most patients adapt within a week.
Getting into the routine: Wearing aligners 22 hours a day might feel like a big commitment, but most patients find it becomes second nature quickly.

Stick with it. Marconi Dental Group is here to support you every step of the way.

Everything you need to know about Carmichael Invisalign

Many patients start noticing changes within a few weeks, with full results typically achieved in 6–18 months depending on the complexity of your case and your smile goals.

For many alignment cases, Invisalign is just as effective as traditional braces, and significantly more discreet and comfortable. Our doctors use Invisalign because it is the best research-backed clear aligner therapy available today.

No. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can continue eating and drinking whatever you like, just remove your aligners first and rinse before putting them back in.

You can take them out for meals, brushing, flossing, and special occasions. However, wearing them for at least 22 hours a day is essential to keep your treatment on schedule.

Some patients notice a mild lisp when they first start wearing Invisalign. This is temporary and typically resolves within a few days as your mouth adjusts to the aligners.

We offer three styles of post-treatment retainers — Hawley, Vivera, and bonded retainers — to preserve your results. Your doctor will recommend the best option for your lifestyle and goals. Retainers are always used after completing Invisalign treatment.
