Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Ogden, Utah
Invisalign is a modern, discreet orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually correct tooth alignment and spacing. At Haslam Dental, your Invisalign journey begins with digital models of your teeth, which are used to design aligners tailored to your smile goals. Each set of aligners is worn comfortably over your teeth and switched out about every two weeks, with each stage gently shifting your teeth closer to their ideal position. Treatment time varies by case, but most patients achieve their desired results in roughly 12 to 24 months, all while enjoying a nearly invisible and removable alternative to braces.

How does the Invisalign process work?
To begin treatment, we take photos, impressions, and X-rays of your teeth and face. This information, along with your treatment goals, is sent to Invisalign, where a detailed 3D model of your teeth is created in collaboration with your dentist to ensure accuracy. Once the plan is finalized, your custom aligner trays are made and sent to Haslam Dental. Each set is worn for about two weeks, with the process continuing for roughly two years—or as recommended by your dentist—until your smile reaches its ideal alignment.

What are the differences between Invisalign and braces?
The main difference between Invisalign and braces is appearance and convenience. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are nearly invisible and allow you to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions. Braces, on the other hand, use metal or ceramic brackets and wires fixed to your teeth, which are highly effective for complex cases but more noticeable and harder to clean. Both options straighten teeth and improve alignment, but Invisalign offers a more discreet and flexible treatment experience, while braces may be better for severe orthodontic issues.

Who can use Invisalign?
Invisalign is a great option for most teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic needs, such as crooked teeth, gaps, or minor bite issues. While many patients see excellent results with Invisalign, more complex cases may require additional or alternative treatments to achieve the best outcome.
-
Can you chew gum with Invisalign?
No, you shouldn’t chew gum while wearing your Invisalign aligners. If you want to chew gum, remove the aligners first, but remember they must be worn 20–22 hours a day to stay on track with your treatment.

How do you clean Invisalign aligners?
Keeping your Invisalign aligners clean is essential to prevent bacteria buildup that could affect your oral health. The best methods include soaking them in Invisalign cleaning crystals or gently brushing them with mild soapy water.
