Invisalign in Redmond Ridge, WA

Invisalign is a clear aligner system used to move teeth through a series of custom trays. At Redmond Ridge Orthodontics, Dr. Wei Tian evaluates your bite and smile goals, plans tooth movement digitally, and explains whether Invisalign is appropriate for your case.

How Invisalign Works

Each set of aligners is worn for a planned period before moving to the next set. The aligners apply controlled pressure to guide teeth into position. Patients are monitored through in-person visits and may use remote progress checks when appropriate.

Attachments and Aligner Fit

Some patients need small tooth-colored attachments to help aligners grip and move specific teeth. Aligners are designed to fit closely over the teeth. Contact the office if an aligner does not seat, feels sharp, or is lost.

Invisalign for Teens and Adults

Invisalign can be an option for many teens and adults, depending on the complexity of tooth movement, growth stage, and patient cooperation. A complete orthodontic evaluation is required before treatment is recommended.

Daily Aligner Care

Remove aligners for meals and oral hygiene. Clean them gently and avoid hot water. Keep them in a case when not in use. Wear time is essential to achieving the planned result.

Is Invisalign as effective as braces?

Both treatments can move teeth effectively when used for appropriate cases. The best option depends on the bite, treatment complexity, and patient needs.

Can I eat with Invisalign?

Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.

How often do I change aligners?

The change schedule is personalized. Follow the schedule provided by Dr. Tian and do not move ahead without guidance.

What if I lose an aligner?

Contact Redmond Ridge Orthodontics promptly. Do not start the next aligner unless the office tells you to do so.
