Do crooked teeth keep you from living life to the fullest? Does your bite feel off? Are you continually holding back or hiding your smile from the world?
Having a beautiful smile is essential for your confidence and overall self-esteem, but the importance of pretty teeth goes far beyond cosmetics. Teeth alignment also impacts your oral health and plays a role in how well your jaw can do its job.
Treatment with Invisalign can return your teeth to proper alignment for optimum oral health. Plus, you get the added benefit of a straight and beautiful smile that you can be proud to show off! Invisalign can also be helpful for patients suffering from issues like bruxism (teeth grinding) or TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). Aligning your teeth will protect them from the damage caused from a bad bite and help reduce the painful symptoms of TMD.

Why does it matter if I have straight teeth?
In almost every case, straight teeth are healthier than crooked teeth. If you have straight teeth, you’re less likely to develop additional dental health problems than if your teeth are facing a bunch of different directions. That means that you'll likely need less fillings, crowns and other dental work over time!
Crooked teeth are more difficult to brush and floss properly. Why? Because misalignment leaves more crevices, nooks, and crannies for food particles and bacteria to hide in. The more angles and directions you have to account for among your teeth, the harder it is to clean them.
When you can’t keep your teeth clean, your risk for developing issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and cavities increases. Misaligned teeth also affect the efficiency of your bite, which can cause problems like chipped or worn teeth, facial pain, tenderness when chewing, and jaw joint deterioration.
So, while straight teeth do benefit your looks and your confidence, the more important reason to keep your smile in line is so you can manage your oral health. If you’re struggling to keep a crooked smile healthy, treatment with Invisalign in Northwest Austin, TX can help you get your teeth into proper alignment.
How does clear aligner therapy work?
When you think of straightening your teeth, you’re probably envisioning having to wear unsightly metal brackets and wires. While a mouth full of metal is indeed the standard for traditional braces, clear aligners offer a more modern spin on classic orthodontics.
Our Austin Invisalign treatment utilizes a series of clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into their best position. Each tray moves the teeth just a little bit. Because they are clear, the aligners are virtually invisible when worn.
These thin, plastic alternative to braces work the same way standard braces do: gradually pushing and pulling your teeth into alignment to create a straighter, healthier smile. The difference is that the trays cover your whole tooth allowing for precise positioning of your teeth, often in half the time of braces. You get to go through your orthodontic treatment without drawing unwanted attention to your teeth. Comfortable, flexible plastic trays take the place of bulky, cumbersome wires.
What are the advantages of Invisalign?
When compared to traditional metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners have many advantages. With Invisalign trays, you can:
- Enjoy all your favorite foods, even the ones that are sticky, chewy, or crunchy
- Remove your aligners for a significant life event or special occasion
- Take photos without worrying about brackets and wires
- Brush your teeth without worrying about missing spots or having stains from where the brackets were
- Floss without needing an army of supplies
- Receive thorough cleanings and dental exams from your Northwest Austin dentist without us having to work around braces
- Have other dental work done during your treatment

Do clear braces hurt?
While you wear your Invisalign trays, you can expect to feel mild discomfort for the first few days of treatment while movement starts. The discomfort is easily handled with over the counter pain medicine, if needed. Many patients never feel the need to take anything for the discomfort!
It’s normal to experience temporary sensations of:
- Soreness
- Tenderness
- Pressure
- Tightness
These sensations will be most potent during the first few days after you progress to the next Invisalign aligner. The discomfort is typically much less than how it feels when you first have traditional braces tightened.
Your discomfort with Invisalign should only ever be mild, and we encourage you to manage your symptoms with over-the-counter pain meds like Tylenol. For most patients, Invisalign is more comfortable than traditional braces because there are no brackets or sharp wires with clear aligners.
Our Austin dentist, Sheila Farahani, is here to help make your Invisalign treatment go as smoothly as possible. If you ever have questions or concerns about pain or other symptoms from Invisalign, we encourage you to call Harmony Dental Wellness to speak with a clinical team member.
How often do I have to wear my Invisalign trays?
For effective treatment, dentists recommend wearing your Invisalign trays for at least 23 hours each day! That means you work, play, eat and sleep in them. The only reason your trays should come out of your mouth is to clean your teeth after eating or drinking. The more compliant you are as a patient, the more successful your orthodontic treatment will be.
Dr. Farahani's advanced training and expert techniques allow her to see you less frequently than other dentists. If you would like to come in more often during your visit, we are happy to see you, but most patients enjoy less frequent visits.
If you’re worried about having to avoid your favorite foods or don’t know how orthodontics can fit into your busy lifestyle, talk to our dentist, Sheila Farahani, about Invisalign in Austin, TX by calling (512) 346-1212.
Is Invisalign Right for Me?
Invisalign is an excellent choice for many patients, but not the best fit for everyone. To ensure that you’re a strong candidate for Invisalign, you’ll have an initial dental appointment with us before starting treatment.
As a new patient, you will find that Dr. Farahani spends extra time discussing your concerns and desires for your smile and your oral health with you. We also address lifestyle factors and habits that could be a consideration in achieving optimum wellness. We may recommend a FREE Invisalign video consultation if you are thinking about Invisalign to fix your bite, create a more beautiful smile or to optimize your health!
Dr. Farahani is excited to bring Invisalign to Harmony Dental Wellness. As a certified provider, AACA Fellow and national speaker for Align Technologies, she can help determine if this innovative treatment is right for your needs through an examination that includes a 3D scan, photos and x-rays of your teeth.
If you are moving forward with Invisalign, Dr. Farahani will use 3-D printing technology to create your treatment plan, and fabricate each set of your aligners. You will have the opportunity to preview your final smile with a video simulation!
