What Are Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Invisalign is an orthodontic solution that uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners to progressively move your teeth. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and crafted to fit comfortably over your teeth.
At Bartley Family Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign for adults in Windsor, CT—bringing you a modern, discreet way to get the straight, healthy smile you’ve always wanted, without the look or feel of traditional braces.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign treatment involves a carefully sequenced process. Here’s how it works:
- Consultation & Digital Scan — We evaluate your mouth, bite, and alignment needs, then use 3D digital imaging to map a treatment plan.
- Custom Aligners — Based on that plan, a series of aligners is fabricated. Each aligner set is worn for about 1 to 2 weeks.
- Follow‑Up Visits — You’ll come in periodically (every 6–8 weeks) so we can monitor progress and provide your next sets of aligners.
- Retention Phase — After you’ve completed the series, you’ll wear a retainer to maintain your new alignment.
You’re expected to wear the aligners about 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (other than water), and oral hygiene. This flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of Invisalign over conventional braces.

During your initial appointment, we’ll give you a personalized cost estimate so you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees or surprises.
Benefits of Getting Orthodontic Treatment As an Adult
Many adults delay orthodontic care due to concerns about appearance, comfort, or timeline—but the benefits are significant:
- Improved oral health — Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing gum disease and decay risk
- Corrected bite issues — Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other alignment problems cause wear, TMJ pain, and uneven stress
- Enhanced confidence — A straighter, more attractive smile boosts self-esteem professionally and personally
- Long-term savings — Addressing alignment now may prevent costly restorative procedures later
- Better jaw function & comfort — Proper alignment can reduce strain on joints and muscles
Life with Invisalign
Living with Invisalign is easier than most people expect. While each person’s experience can differ, here’s what you can generally expect:
- Eating & Drinking — You remove the aligners while eating, so no food restrictions and easy cleaning
- Oral Hygiene — Brush and floss normally after removing the aligner; clean the aligners as directed
- Minor Discomfort — Slight pressure or sensitivity is normal in the first day or two after switching trays
- Adjusting to Speech — Most people adapt quickly; minor changes in speech typically resolve in a few days
- Consistency is Key — The success of Invisalign depends on wearing aligners as directed—20–22 hours daily is ideal
With good compliance, the process is smooth, discreet, and integrated into your everyday life.
