Invisalign: Understanding the Basics
Many adults would like straighter teeth without traditional metal braces.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually moves teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays.
Lewis Medix does not provide medical care or perform procedures. We connect you with carefully vetted, accredited medical providers who offer Invisalign clear aligner treatment. Lewis Medix will support you with the coordination surrounding your care, including consultations, travel, accommodations, 24/7 onsite support, and recovery planning.
Our role is to help make your journey feel clear, organized, and supported from your first questions through your return home.
What Is Invisalign?
After a digital scan of your teeth, a series of aligners is made to your treatment plan. Each set is worn for a period of time before moving to the next.
Aligners are removed for eating and cleaning, and are usually worn for most of the day.
Treatment is planned and monitored by a dentist or orthodontist trained in the system.
Who This May Be Right For
Invisalign may be considered by teenagers and adults with crowding, spacing, and some bite concerns.
More complex cases may need other orthodontic approaches. An assessment will determine whether clear aligners are suitable.
Understanding the Procedure
Treatment begins with an examination, X-rays if needed, and a digital scan. Your provider plans the tooth movements and shows you the expected progression.
Small tooth-coloured attachments may be added to help the aligners move teeth. Because treatment continues over months, your provider will explain how check ups and remote monitoring will work once you are home.

Recovery Overview
There is no recovery period, although teeth can feel tender when starting a new set of aligners.
Retainers are usually needed after treatment to help keep teeth in their new position.
