Do you want straight teeth without the discomfort of traditional braces? With Invisalign in Alkmaar, we offer a virtually invisible, comfortable and removable solution to improve your smile. Thanks to custom-made clear aligners, your teeth are gradually moved into the right position, without metal brackets or wires.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth in a discreet and comfortable way. Instead of traditional metal brackets and wires, Invisalign offers an aesthetically pleasing solution that is virtually invisible. The aligners are custom-made from a special, flexible plastic material and are designed to gradually move the teeth into the desired position.
The treatment
The process begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which is then used to create a treatment plan. The aligners are worn in stages, with each set of aligners being worn for a few weeks before being replaced with a new set that further corrects your teeth. Because the aligners are removable, you can easily remove them while eating and brushing, which provides added convenience and hygiene.
How the process works
1. Consultation
During the first appointment we will assess your teeth and discuss your wishes so that we can determine whether Invisalign is the right solution for you.
2. Custom scan
We make a digital 3D scan of your teeth to draw up a personal treatment plan and give you a preview of the expected end result.
3. Receive your aligners
You will receive your custom-made, clear aligners, which will gradually move your teeth into the correct position.
4. Wear and replace your aligners
Wear the aligners for at least 20-22 hours daily and replace them with a new set every 1-2 weeks for best results.
5. Regular checks
Come by regularly for check-ups so we can monitor progress and make adjustments if necessary.
6. Enjoy your new smile
After the last aligner, your treatment is complete and you can shine with a perfectly aligned smile!

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment usually takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the dental correction. Mild corrections are quicker, while more complex cases require more time. We determine the estimated treatment time based on your specific situation.
How often should I wear my aligners?
Ideally, you should wear your aligners for 22 hours a day for best results. Only remove them when eating, drinking (other than water), and brushing and flossing. Wearing them for less than 20-22 hours a day may delay your treatment or affect your final results.
Are Invisalign aligners painful?
Invisalign may cause some discomfort or pain, especially in the first few days of a new set of aligners. This is because the aligners gradually shift your teeth, which can cause temporary sensitivity.
The pain is usually mild and will go away within a few days as your teeth adjust. Many people experience it as a slight pressure or tightness rather than actual pain. If necessary, you can take a pain reliever such as ibuprofen. In general, Invisalign is less painful than traditional braces because there are no sharp edges to irritate your mouth.
How often should I come for a check-up?
During Invisalign treatment, you will typically have a check-up with your dentist or orthodontist every 6 to 8 weeks. During these appointments, your progress will be assessed and you will usually receive a new set of aligners for the next phase.
Depending on your treatment and wearing discipline, the check-ups may be shorter or longer apart. It is important to attend your appointments on time, so that your progress can be monitored and any adjustments can be made in time.
Can I eat and drink anything with Invisalign aligners?
With Invisalign, you can eat and drink anything as long as you remove your aligners when eating or drinking (except water). Food particles can cause tooth decay, and beverages can discolor or distort your aligners. Brush your teeth after eating before putting your aligners back in.
Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?
Invisalign is ideal for minor dental corrections, such as crooked teeth and an overbite. For more complex dental problems, traditional braces are often more effective. We are happy to help you make the right choice.
