Invisalign® in Sharon, MA
Straighten teeth gradually with custom clear aligners designed for a comfortable orthodontic experience.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of custom made, clear plastic aligners instead of traditional metal brackets and wires. These aligners are designed using advanced digital imaging technology to map out the precise movement of your teeth from start to finish. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series, gradually shifting the teeth into proper alignment.
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, which means patients can take them out when eating, brushing, and flossing. This allows for easier oral hygiene and fewer dietary restrictions compared to traditional orthodontic treatment. Because the aligners are clear and custom fitted, Invisalign offers a more discreet and comfortable option for teens and adults who want to improve their smile without the appearance of metal braces.

Discreet Appearance
Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without noticeable brackets or wires.
Removable Convenience
Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene.
3D Treatment Planning
Advanced 3D treatment planning maps each stage of tooth movement for controlled alignment.
Who Needs Invisalign®?
Invisalign is often recommended for teens and adults who want to correct mild to moderate alignment issues without the visibility of traditional braces. It can effectively address concerns such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and other bite irregularities that affect both the appearance of the smile and overall oral health. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, this option is best suited for patients who are committed to wearing them consistently for 20 to 22 hours per day and following treatment instructions carefully.
A comprehensive orthodontic evaluation is necessary to determine whether Invisalign is appropriate based on the complexity of tooth movement and the patient’s long term treatment goals.

Technology Used for Invisalign® Treatment

Invisalign treatment relies on advanced 3D digital scanning and computer guided treatment planning to design a customized series of clear aligners. Instead of traditional impressions, digital scanners capture highly detailed images of the teeth to create precise virtual models. These models are used with specialized software to map out the exact movement of each tooth from the beginning to the end of treatment. This digital planning process allows for controlled, incremental tooth movement and helps improve accuracy, comfort, and predictability throughout Invisalign treatment.
By visualizing the full alignment process in advance, orthodontists can design aligners that guide teeth efficiently while minimizing unnecessary adjustments.
What to Expect During Your Visit
During your Invisalign appointment at Sharon Orthodontics in Sharon, MA, Dr. Sahar Mostafavi will perform a detailed orthodontic evaluation to assess tooth alignment and bite relationships. Digital scans are taken to create a precise 3D model of your teeth, allowing her to design a customized series of clear aligners. She will review your digital treatment plan, explain how each aligner stage moves your teeth gradually, and answer any questions about the process.
If you are beginning treatment, attachments may be placed on specific teeth to help guide movement and ensure optimal results.
Before Your Appointment
- Write down any concerns about crowding, spacing, or bite alignment.
- If you have had previous orthodontic treatment, bring any retainers or records to help evaluate past tooth movement.
- Brush and floss before your visit so digital scans can capture clear and accurate images of your teeth.
After Your Appointment
- Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day as instructed to keep your treatment progressing on schedule.
- Remove aligners only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing to prevent staining and buildup.
- Switch to your next set of aligners according to the timeline provided by Dr. Sahar and attend scheduled progress checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign® treatment usually take?
The length of Invisalign® treatment depends on the complexity of the alignment issues being corrected. Mild cases may take several months, while more comprehensive orthodontic corrections can take 12 to 18 months or longer. Treatment timelines are determined using digital treatment planning, which maps the gradual movement of teeth from start to finish. Consistently wearing aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day plays a major role in staying on schedule.
How many hours per day should Invisalign® aligners be worn?
Invisalign aligners should typically be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day to ensure effective tooth movement. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Wearing aligners for fewer hours than recommended may delay progress and extend overall treatment time.
Can Invisalign® correct bite problems like overbite or underbite?
Invisalign can address many common bite concerns, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Advanced digital planning allows orthodontists to design precise tooth movements and, in some cases, use small attachments or elastics to enhance correction. The effectiveness of Invisalign for bite correction depends on the severity of the case and proper aligner wear.
Does Invisalign® hurt?
Patients may experience mild pressure or temporary discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners. This sensation is a sign that the aligners are actively moving the teeth. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few days as the teeth adjust. Compared to traditional braces, many patients find Invisalign to be more comfortable due to the absence of metal brackets and wires.
Can Invisalign® aligners stain or discolor?
Aligners can stain if exposed to beverages such as coffee, tea, soda, or red wine while worn. To maintain clarity, aligners should be removed before consuming anything other than water. Smoking while wearing aligners can also cause discoloration. Maintaining good oral hygiene and proper cleaning helps keep aligners clear throughout treatment.
