Invisalign in Paris 19: a discreet approach to teeth alignment
Invisalign orthodontic treatment uses clear, removable aligners to correct misaligned teeth. Custom-made for each patient, these aligners are almost invisible, offering an aesthetic alternative to traditional braces.
Why choose Invisalign aligners?
- Aesthetics: the aligners are almost invisible, so teeth can be straightened discreetly.
- Comfort: made of smooth, metal-free plastic, they limit irritation inside the mouth.
- Hygiene: being removable, they make brushing and flossing easier, which helps limit the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Practicality: they can be taken out to eat or for special occasions, offering more flexibility.
The process
- Initial consultation: the dentist or orthodontist assesses the case and discusses the goals with the patient.
- Personalised treatment plan: digital impressions of the teeth are taken to create a 3D treatment plan showing how the teeth will gradually move.
- Making the aligners: A series of custom-made aligners is produced. Each aligner is worn for about 10 days before moving on to the next one.
- Regular follow-up: follow-up visits every 6 to 8 weeks are used to check progress and adjust the treatment if needed.
- Retention phase: Once the treatment is complete, the retention of the result is maintained by a retainer (to wear at night) or a thin fixed wire behind the teeth.

Which alignment problems can be treated?
Invisible aligners can address many situations, once an examination has confirmed they are suitable:
- crowded teeth;
- gaps between teeth (diastemas);
- teeth that have shifted over time or after previous orthodontic treatment;
- some jaw discrepancies: protruding upper teeth, deep bite, crossbite.
Every case is different: the orthodontic assessment determines whether Invisalign is suitable, or whether fixed braces are more appropriate.
Invisalign for children, teenagers and adults
In children, early orthodontic follow-up helps monitor jaw growth and the arrival of permanent teeth. For teenagers, aligners fit easily into school and sports routines, since they come out for meals and brushing. For adults, they offer invisible teeth alignment that suits professional life. In every case, wearing the aligners consistently, as instructed by your dentist, is essential for the treatment to progress as planned.
Invisible aligners or braces: how to choose?
Invisible aligners are clear and removable; braces stay fixed to the teeth throughout treatment. The choice between the two is not only about appearance: it depends on the type of tooth movement required, age, lifestyle and the ability to wear aligners every day. These points are reviewed and explained during the consultation, so that you can make an informed choice.
Daily life with your aligners
- Wear your aligners for the number of hours per day your dentist recommends.
- Take them out to eat and to drink anything other than water.
- Brush your teeth before putting them back in.
- Clean your aligners regularly and keep them in their case when you are not wearing them.
- Attend your follow-up appointments so progress can be checked.
