Invisalign
Crooked, crowded, twisted, or gapped teeth can have a negative impact on your appearance, bite, and oral health.
However, many people who need orthodontics may avoid treatment because they don't want to wear metal braces.
At our Rockville, MD, practice, we use Invisalign® and SureSmile® to correct misaligned smiles without the need for conventional orthodontics.
Clear Aligners: No More Brackets and Wires
Invisalign treatment can correct a misaligned smile without the hassle of uncomfortable brackets and wires. Invisalign treatment involves using a succession of clear aligners that are exchanged every week or two to move your teeth into place gradually. Dr. Victor Siegel also offers attachments and buttons to exert extra pressure on your teeth to move stubborn ones into the correct position.
What Are the Benefits
of Using Invisalign?
Many patients at our Rockville, MD, dental office have chosen Invisalign to beautify and straighten their smiles. Clear aligners offer a number of advantages over traditional braces.
Invisalign is a great way to straighten teeth without advertising that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. The clear Invisalign aligners are virtually unnoticeable in your smile.
Traditional metal braces are difficult to clean and can trap food particles, which can cause plaque buildup. Invisalign trays can be removed when you brush, floss, and eat, making oral hygiene a breeze.
The brackets, bands, and wires of traditional braces can irritate the lips, tongue, cheeks, and other oral soft tissues. Aligners are made from smooth thermoplastic, so they fit snugly and much more comfortably.
When wearing braces, patients must avoid certain foods. Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can take them out when you eat. That way, you can still enjoy all of your favorite foods during treatment.
Invisalign Can Address Many Concerns
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Crowded Teeth
- Crooked Teeth
- Gapped Teeth
- Open Bites
Invisalign can treat many of the same orthodontic issues that traditional braces can fix. Patients with severe or complex malocclusion may benefit from a different treatment. If so, the dentists at our Rockville, MD, office offer a range of orthodontic procedures that can enhance your smile.

Found! Dr. Siegel and his staff were welcoming, willing to work with me and wonderful! It is a lovely, convenient office and I appreciated that Dr Siegel wanted to try a repair on my bridge rather than just replace it. New to the area, after experiencing some mediocre practices, I finally found a top-notch dentist and staff—they were worth the wait! —Christina Tavani

How Does Invisalign Work?
Created by Align Technology, Inc., Invisalign utilizes a series of clear aligners to gently and effectively straighten teeth. Whether your teeth are crooked, twisted, crowded, or spaced too far apart, Invisalign can help, leaving you with the beautiful smile you've always wanted. We use Invisalign clear aligners to correct crossbites, overbites, underbites, and other common orthodontic issues. In fact, Invisalign aligners can address most of the same issues as braces.
Dr. Siegel discusses the power of aligners over traditional braces. On average, Invisalign can help children, teens, and adults achieve a straighter smile in 12 to 18 months. Whether this is your first orthodontic treatment or you've had braces before, but your teeth have shifted as an adult, we can revitalize your smile with a treatment plan designed to meet your needs.

See the Difference Between Invisalign and Traditional Braces
Traditional orthodontic treatment involves metal wires and brackets to guide your teeth into alignment. Invisalign uses a series of smooth, clear aligner trays to refine your teeth and bite. They are a discreet, removable method for correcting a variety of orthodontic concerns.

Maintaining Your Invisalign Aligners
Caring for your aligner trays and teeth during Invisalign treatment is easy.
Remove the Trays to Eat
If you're getting ready to enjoy a meal or snack, first remove your trays. Place them in a protective case to prevent loss or damage. Be sure to rinse your trays before putting them back in your mouth. Do not use hot water on your Invisalign aligners, as it could warp them.
Clean Aligners with a Mild Soap
To clean your trays, brush them with a soft-bristle brush and a mild soap. Toothpaste can scratch the material or leave deposits. Rinse with cool or warm water.
Brush and Floss
Brush and floss your teeth as you normally would before you put your aligners back in. Maintaining good oral hygiene during your orthodontic treatment is important.
We Also Offer SureSmile Clear Aligner Treatment
/
In addition to Invisalign, Dr. Siegel also offers SureSmile®. SureSmile is another clear aligner system that provides many of the same benefits as Invisalign. However, SureSmile may be able to treat complicated cases of malocclusion that Invisalign cannot address. We can compare treatment options and which one would be right for you during your consultation.

View on GoogleThe Perks of a Straighter Smile Aren't Just Cosmetic
No matter what orthodontic option you choose to achieve a straighter smile, the results and benefits will astound you. Fixing a misaligned smile does more than just improve the look of your teeth. The perks of achieving a straighter smile include the following benefits:
Boosted Confidence
Your smile factors heavily when making a first impression. A straighter smile with no gaps can make you feel more self-confident at work, in social situations, and in other aspects of your life.
Easier to Clean
Crowded and crooked teeth can be difficult to brush and floss effectively. Straight teeth that are evenly spaced are easier to clean, reducing serious health risks like tooth decay and gum disease.
Improved Oral Health
Misaligned teeth can affect the alignment of your jaw, which can cause joint pain, headaches, and teeth grinding (bruxism). Straighter teeth and a properly aligned jaw can reduce these pains and prevent TMJ disorders.
Better Function
Straighter teeth can improve your enunciation, allowing you to speak more clearly. Your biting and chewing abilities will also improve, allowing you to eat a wider variety of foods.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Aligners
When considering aligner treatment, you'll likely have many questions about the process. Our dentist can thoroughly answer all of your questions during a consultation at our Rockville office. A few of the most common questions we're asked include:
How long do I have to wear my Invisalign trays each day and how long until I can see my results?
For the best results possible, you must be committed to wearing your Invisalign aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day. If you cannot responsibly wear your aligners, other orthodontic treatments may be a better option for you. On average, Invisalign treatment takes about 18 months depending on the severity of your concerns.
Can my child undergo Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign treatment requires a level of responsibility that traditional braces do not. During your consultation at our Rockville dental office, your dentist will discuss these requirements and help you determine if your child is responsible enough to wear and maintain the clear aligner trays. If the child cannot be trusted to wear, clean, and not lose the trays, other options can be discussed at that time.
Is there an age limit for Invisalign?
It is never too late to straighten your smile. If you are healthy enough and can properly wear and maintain the trays, you are not too old for Invisalign treatment.
Is Invisalign covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans partially cover Invisalign treatment. Our financial experts are happy to check your benefits and file claims on your behalf, and we will verify coverage before treatment starts. This will allow you to properly plan and budget.
Do I have to visit an orthodontist for an Invisalign consultation?
People may think an orthodontist is necessary when it comes to evaluating your candidacy for Invisalign. However, general dentists can train in Invisalign treatment, just like orthodontists.
Dr. Siegel has spent nearly four decades practicing cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry. He has completed training in complex aspects of dentistry, including Invisalign, and can improve any patient's smile.
Should I choose veneers over clear aligners?
Veneers are often called instant orthodontics as they can give your smile a straighter appearance immediately. However, it conceals the issue. It doesn't correct it. Porcelain veneers may be a good option for you if you have a gap between your teeth or mild misalignment. Veneers are not a good option for those with severe orthodontic issues, and they will not help those with bite concerns like an overbite, overbite, or crossbite.
