Invisalign® clear aligners in Campbell, California, offer a sophisticated alternative to traditional braces for patients who want to straighten their teeth without the visibility and discomfort of metal brackets and wires. This treatment uses a series of custom-designed, transparent plastic aligners to guide your teeth into better alignment. These aligners are computer-generated and fabricated to fit your unique dental structure. Each aligner set is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next in the series, allowing your teeth to move gradually and comfortably. Throughout your treatment, you will visit Brite Dental periodically to ensure your smile is progressing as planned.
What Invisalign Aligners Can Treat
Invisalign clear aligners in Campbell, CA, are ideal for a variety of orthodontic concerns. If you have crowded or crooked teeth, excessive spacing, or mild to moderate bite issues, Invisalign may be a suitable treatment. It can address:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
- Crossbite, underbite, overbite, and open bite
- Mild misalignment following previous orthodontic work
Invisalign treatment in Campbell, CA, is especially popular among adult patients who seek a more discreet solution to orthodontic care. Teens and older adolescents may also benefit, depending on their specific needs and level of responsibility with aligner wear.
Comfort & Convenience
The Invisalign aligner system is designed for comfort. Unlike braces, which can irritate your cheeks and gums, Invisalign aligners in Campbell, CA, are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic that feels natural in your mouth. They are also removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite meals without restrictions and maintain proper oral hygiene. You can remove them when brushing and flossing, which helps prevent plaque buildup and keeps your teeth healthier during treatment.
Treatment duration varies depending on the severity of your alignment issues, but most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months. Because the aligners are nearly invisible, you can smile with confidence throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Clear Aligners
How long do I need to wear Invisalign aligners each day?
For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. This ensures consistent pressure on your teeth, helping them shift efficiently. You should only remove them for eating, brushing and flossing. Skipping wear time can delay your progress and extend the overall treatment timeline.
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
Invisalign aligners are not considered painful, but you may feel mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set. This sensation is a sign that your teeth are adjusting. Most patients find the experience manageable and report significantly less irritation compared to traditional metal braces.
Can I drink beverages while wearing my aligners?
You should only drink water while wearing your Invisalign aligners. Beverages such as coffee, soda or wine can stain or warp the plastic and may lead to plaque buildup. Always remove your aligners before consuming anything other than water, then rinse your mouth before putting them back in.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
If you lose an aligner, contact your dental provider as soon as possible. Depending on your situation, you may be advised to wear a previous set or move to the next one early. Prompt action helps minimize disruption and keeps your treatment on track without unnecessary delays.
