A straight smile boosts confidence and supports long-term oral health. Many people avoid traditional braces because of their appearance and discomfort. Invisalign provides a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Kangaroo Smiles offers Invisalign treatment in Lowell, MA, with a focus on comfort and results.
Clear aligners are designed to fit snugly over teeth and gradually shift them into position. The process is guided by advanced digital imaging to create a customized plan for each patient. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing for easier eating and oral hygiene.
Each set of aligners is designed for the patient’s teeth. Digital scans ensure a precise fit, helping teeth shift into the right position.
Aligners apply gentle pressure, guiding teeth into alignment. Every two weeks, patients switch to a new set to continue progress.
Invisalign aligners are clear and discreet. Most people will not notice them, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.
Aligners can be taken out when eating or brushing. No food restrictions or special cleaning tools are needed.
Traditional braces require frequent adjustments. Invisalign patients visit the office every six to eight weeks to check progress.
Advanced 3D imaging creates a treatment plan from start to finish. Patients see how their teeth will move before treatment even begins.
Traditional braces have been the go-to solution for misaligned teeth for decades. Many patients, especially adults and teens, prefer Invisalign for several reasons:
Many people find that Invisalign fits better with their lifestyle. Treatment is often faster than traditional braces for mild to moderate alignment issues.
Invisalign works for a wide range of alignment concerns. Some of the most common problems it addresses include:
Every patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their needs. Some cases require additional aligners or minor adjustments to achieve the best results.
The first step is a consultation at Kangaroo Smiles. Our team examines the teeth and gums to determine if Invisalign is the right option. If so, digital scans create a 3D image of the patient’s teeth. This model allows us to plan the exact movements needed for alignment.
Once the aligners are ready, patients receive their first set along with instructions on how to wear them. Aligners must be worn all day and night except for meals and brushing. Every two weeks, patients switch to a new set that continues the shifting process.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled every six to eight weeks to monitor progress. These visits allow for any necessary adjustments and ensure everything is moving as planned.
Most treatments take 12 to 18 months, depending on the severity of the alignment issue. Some cases finish sooner, while others require a longer period for the best outcome.
After completing Invisalign treatment, retainers help maintain results. Teeth naturally shift over time, and wearing a retainer prevents them from moving back. Patients receive a custom retainer to wear at night to keep their new smile in place.
Regular dental checkups remain important to monitor oral health. Good hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing, keep teeth strong and healthy after treatment.

The time frame varies, but most patients receive their first set of aligners within two to four weeks after the initial consultation. This includes the time needed to take digital scans, create a custom treatment plan, and manufacture the aligners.
Yes, in some cases. Patients wearing traditional braces may be able to switch to Invisalign, but it depends on the stage of their treatment and the complexity of their case. A consultation is needed to determine eligibility.
Patients may experience slight pressure or discomfort for a few days when switching to a new set of aligners. This is normal and shows that the aligners are working to move the teeth. The discomfort is usually milder than what is experienced with braces.
No, chewing gum while wearing aligners is not recommended. Gum can stick to the aligners and may cause damage. It is best to remove the aligners before chewing gum or eating anything sticky.
Most patients adjust to speaking with aligners within a few days. Some may notice a slight lisp at first, but this usually goes away as they get used to wearing them. Talking more frequently can help speed up the adjustment process.
Yes, but patients who grind their teeth heavily may need stronger aligners or additional protective measures. The aligners act as a barrier between teeth, which can sometimes reduce wear caused by grinding. A dentist will evaluate each case individually.
