A beautiful, straight smile is possible without the hassle of traditional braces. Invisalign® clear aligners in New Baden, Illinois, offer a discreet, comfortable and convenient way to correct misaligned teeth. At First Arrow Dental, we provide customized Invisalign treatment to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted. Our dentist and team design personalized treatment plans using advanced digital technology to gradually and effectively straighten your teeth.
How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gently shift your teeth into their ideal position. Each set of aligners is custom-made based on precise digital scans, ensuring a comfortable and accurate fit. Patients wear each aligner for about two weeks before progressing to the next set, gradually moving their teeth into alignment. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who want a more discreet orthodontic option.
The Advantages of Invisalign Aligners
Choosing Invisalign treatment offers several benefits compared to traditional braces, including:
- Nearly Invisible Appearance – Clear aligners allow you to straighten your teeth discreetly.
- Comfortable and Custom Fit – Smooth plastic trays eliminate the discomfort of metal brackets and wires.
- Removable for Convenience – Eat, brush and floss without any restrictions.
- Faster and More Predictable Results – Digital planning ensures precise, efficient tooth movement.
- Improved Oral Hygiene – Being able to remove aligners allows for easier cleaning and better dental health during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Clear Aligners
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners should be cleaned daily with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic.
Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech?
Some patients may experience a slight adjustment period, but most adapt within a few days and speak normally with their aligners in place.
Can I eat with my Invisalign aligners on?
No, aligners should be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage.
How long do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners each day?
For the best results, aligners should be worn at least 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking and oral hygiene.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
If you lose an aligner, contact us right away. You may need a replacement or be advised to move to the next set slightly early.
