Why Invisalign is a good choice for adults

How does Invisalign for adults work?

Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of clear, computer-designed aligners that are 3D printed from scans of your teeth. Each set makes small adjustments to tooth position, gently and gradually moving them into the desired alignment.

You wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, and there is a new set approximately every two weeks. They can be removed for meals, oral hygiene, or special events, providing convenience and control throughout your treatment.

Your Invisalign treatment is highly personalized at Lynskey Orthodontics. We use advanced digital tools to tailor a plan specifically to your dental needs, whether you are correcting crowding, gaps, or a bite issue. These tools also let you visualize the transformation of your smile before starting any treatment.

At Lynskey Orthodontics, we appreciate the unique requirements of our adult patients. Invisalign for adults is a convenient and effective way to achieve a healthy, attractive smile that complements your busy personal and professional lifestyle.

With expert guidance and ongoing support from our experienced team, you will benefit from your customized Invisalign treatment plan, regular progress evaluations, and a clear path toward a lifetime of confident, radiant smiles.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Invisalign for adults take?

Most adults finish Invisalign in 12-18 months, depending on the complexity of the orthodontic issue. At your complimentary exam, Dr. Lynskey will let you know when to expect treatment to be completed and what your new smile will look like. If you wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day, then half of the battle is won.
Invisalign patients typically need to see their orthodontist every six to eight weeks. However, our Invisalign patients are enrolled in remote monitoring, which allows us to see your progression in a 30-second scan from home using your smartphone. From your scans, we can monitor treatment and schedule your in-office visits at just the right time. This eliminates unnecessary visits and reduces your overall time in aligners.

Almost all the time: Invisalign for adults should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. You can remove them for meals, brushing, or activities like playing wind or brass instruments, but otherwise, they should be in your mouth.

Maintaining the recommended wear times ensures fast, consistent progress, and skipping wear times can delay results and prolong your treatment.

Mild discomfort is common when switching to a new aligner, but this means they are effectively shifting your teeth and creating your beautiful smile! The discomfort usually fades after a day. You can use an over-the-counter pain reliever if needed, but most people manage without it.
Cleaning your Invisalign aligners is simple: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush with clear, unscented soap to keep them clean. You should clean your aligners daily, ideally every time you brush your teeth. But do not use toothpaste – it’s abrasive and can scratch or cloud the Invisalign material. And avoid using hot water, as it can warp the aligner’s shape, which has been customized to your teeth and gums.
If an aligner is lost or damaged, contact us immediately. We may recommend wearing the previous aligner or moving to the next one, depending on your current progress. Your aligners should always be kept in their protective case when not wearing them.
Choosing Invisalign instead of braces usually comes down to treatment scope, lifestyle, and aesthetics:
With Invisalign for adults, we use remote monitoring to evaluate when it’s the right time for you to come in for a checkup. These virtual check-up scans take two minutes using your smartphone and can be performed from home or anywhere on the go. They result in more accurate treatment timing and shorter overall treatment time, meaning fewer visits to our office and less disruption to your life.

Our case costs run from $3,300 to $7,400 depending upon the complexity of the case. We offer free exams, financing, and insurance support – see the next question for more information or visit our Insurance and Financing page for details.

Yes. At Lynskey Orthodontics, we offer our Santa Rosa and Sonoma County patients flexible monthly payment plans, 0% interest financing, and extended payment options.

Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign for adults. Our team will assist you by verifying your benefits, submitting the claims, and accepting assignment of benefits to help reduce your overall out-of-pocket expenses.

Orthodontic care is also an eligible medical expense for HSA or FSA plans, and many families use these funds toward treatment costs.

You can learn more by visiting our Insurance and Financing page, or schedule a complimentary consultation and we’ll be happy to answer any questions.

No referral is needed – you can schedule a complimentary consultation directly with our Santa Rosa office.
