Learn more about Invisalign treatment by reading the helpful guide below, or by calling our Allegheny County dental practice at (412) 221-9440.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary
alternative to traditional metal braces. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. The advanced clear aligner system is custom-made for your unique smile. They are nearly invisible when worn, making Invisalign a popular choice for adults and teens in Bridgeville who are looking to improve their oral health and appearance. While not everyone qualifies for this orthodontic treatment, it has revolutionized the field of dentistry.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign isn’t just about achieving a beautiful smile; it’s about improving your overall oral health and boosting your self-esteem. Invisalign offers a wide array of benefits which have made it the preferred choice over metal braces for years. Here’s why patients are choosing Invisalign treatment at DiBartola Dental:
- Virtually Invisible: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners are nearly undetectable, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment.
- Comfortable and Removable: Say goodbye to the discomfort of wires and brackets. Invisalign clear aligners are smooth and can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
- Customized Treatment: Dr. DiBartola uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create a personalized Invisalign treatment plan tailored to your unique dental structure.
- Faster Results: Many patients see noticeable improvements in as little as a few months, with average Invisalign treatment times ranging from 12 to 18 months.
- Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most patients complete their Invisalign treatment within 12 to 18 months. However, treatment time can vary depending on the severity of your orthodontic issues.
Are Invisalign clear aligners uncomfortable to wear?
When you first start wearing a new set of Invisalign clear aligners, they may feel slightly uncomfortable or tight. This is completely normal as the clear aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth to gradually shift them into their proper position. However, any discomfort typically subsides within a few days of wearing the new clear aligners.
How often do I need to visit the dentist during Invisalign treatment?
You’ll need to visit your dentist or orthodontist every six to eight weeks during your Invisalign treatment plan. These visits are important for monitoring your progress and making any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. At each visit, you’ll receive your next set of aligners to continue the progression of your custom treatment plan.
