Straighten Your Smile Discreetly with Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® offers a nearly invisible way to achieve a beautiful smile. This custom-made solution is perfect for adults and teenagers looking to enhance their smile without the noticeable appearance of metal braces.
Treatment Overview
Invisalign® uses clear, removable aligners to progressively move your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, and gentle pressure is applied to push your teeth closer to their desired alignment. This FDA-approved treatment can address various dental issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites
, and crossbites. At Viva Medspa & Wellness in Cranston, RI, we tailor the Invisalign® treatment to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring comfortable and effective results. Most people begin to see improvements within a few weeks, with full treatment typically lasting 6 to 18 months, depending on the case’s complexity.

How does Invisalign® work to straighten teeth?
By using a series of clear, personalized aligners, Invisalign® gently straightens your teeth. The aligners are worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. You may feel slight pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners, but this is typically mild and subsides quickly.
How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
Your treatment duration will vary according to your condition. Most treatments last between 6 to 18 months, but your provider at Viva Medspa & Wellness will give you a more detailed timeline based on your individual needs.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign® aligners?
Ideally, you should wear aligners for 20-22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

Your food and drink choices are up to you. If you eat or drink anything other than water, take your aligners out first and brush your teeth afterward.
