Invisalign
Your smile is the most important part of the way you present yourself, both professionally and personally. A crooked smile can mean being too self conscious to smile in pictures or to laugh out loud with your loved ones, to speak up in an important meeting or be assertive in an interview. It can mean missing out on some of life’s most important moments, or being unable to truly enjoy them without being haunted by self consciousness. But while the confidence that a beautiful, healthy smile can bring may be invaluable, it can also be difficult to undergo the process of getting braces as an adult. Invisalign® can help solve that problem by restoring your smile tomorrow, without damaging your confidence today.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the process of straightening your teeth with clear, removable aligners. Invisalign clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack® — created exclusively for Invisalign. Invisalign clear aligners are FDA-approved and contain no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten. They are thin, clear, and fit snugly over your teeth, making them virtually invisible.
If you’re looking for a discreet way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, Invisalign at Salvatore Dental in Saratoga Springs may be right for you. We specialize in Invisalign treatment and can help you achieve the beautiful, straight smile you’ve always wanted.

The Invisalign Process
At Eagle falls dentistry, we make the Invisalign process simple, precise, and rewarding. Our team will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Then, we will design your clear aligners to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time, based on your plan. Your custom-made aligners will gradually straighten your teeth, and because the aligners are practically invisible, you can keep smiling throughout treatment. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week— until they have straightened to their final position. The best part about Invisalign is that nearly no one can tell you’re even wearing them!Invisalign is also removable, so you can eat whatever you want and brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth.
How Long Do You Wear Invisalign?
We get this question a lot, and the answer depends on the severity of your misalignment. For minor issues, you may only need to wear the aligners for a few months. However, more complex cases may require up to a year of treatment.
Eagle Falls Dentistry typically recommends that patients wear their Invisalign aligners for at least 20 hours per day. This allows the aligners to work effectively and ensures that your treatment progress is not compromised. Of course, we understand that there may be times when it is not possible to wear the aligners for the full 20 hours (e.g., eating or playing sports). However, we encourage patients to be as consistent as possible to achieve the best possible results.
