Invisalign is a modern, discreet way to straighten your teeth without the wires and brackets required by traditional braces. Using a series of clear, removable aligners, this treatment gently shifts your teeth into alignment, giving you a confident smile and a healthier bite.

The Benefits of Invisalign
Practically Invisible
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are clear and low-profile, so most people won’t even know you’re wearing them. You can smile with confidence throughout your treatment, no metal mouth required.
Comfort and Convenience
Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are designed for comfort and custom-fit your smile. Plus, they’re removable so you can eat your favorite foods, brush and floss like normal, and keep up with your routine hassle-free.
Improved Oral Health
Straighter teeth are easier to keep clean, reducing your risk of cavities, gum disease, and abnormal wear. Invisalign doesn’t just enhance your smile, it supports the long-term health of your teeth and gums, too.
What to Expect From Invisalign
Your Initial Consultation
Your Invisalign journey starts with a warm welcome at Mundelein Family Dental. Dr. Sadia Ahmed will take digital impressions and assess your bite using modern scanning technology, no goopy molds required. She’ll listen closely to your goals and design a customized treatment plan right for your smile. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your next steps and feel confident knowing you're in expert hands from start to finish.
Wearing Your Aligners
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll begin wearing each set for about 1-2 weeks, usually for 20-22 hours each day. They’re easy to pop in and out for meals and brushing, making them ideal for busy lifestyles. You’ll visit us every 6–8 weeks so Dr. Ahmed can monitor your progress and make any adjustments needed. Patients love being able to achieve great results without the daily inconveniences of metal braces.
Smile Maintenance and Retention
After your final set of aligners, it's time to protect your new smile. Dr. Ahmed will provide custom retainers to help maintain your alignment and walk you through simple tips to keep your teeth looking great long-term. You'll continue receiving support and care from our friendly team whenever you need it, because we believe your smile is a lifelong investment. Let us help you preserve it with ease.
