Invisalign® in Sumter, SC

A beautiful smile is one of your most valuable assets. At Wesmark Family Dentistry, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners, a system that uses custom-made trays to gradually shift your teeth.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign in Sumter, SC, is virtually invisible and made from smooth, comfortable plastic. Each set is worn for two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into place. Since they’re removable, you can easily take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss.


Which Issues Can Invisalign Correct?

Invisalign is an effective treatment for a wide range of dental issues. It can be used to correct minor alignment problems, including:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite (upper teeth overlap lower teeth)
  • Underbite (lower teeth overlap upper teeth)
  • Crossbite (misaligned teeth on both sides)
  • Open bite (front teeth don’t meet when biting down)
  • Overcrowding (teeth are too close together)

If you're unsure whether Invisalign can address your specific dental concerns, we'll assess your situation and determine the best course of action for your smile.

Invisalign FAQs

How long do I need to wear clear aligners each day?
You should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours each day for optimal results. The only times you should remove them are when eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing.

Consistent wear ensures that your teeth continue moving as planned, helping you achieve the best results quickly.
Are clear aligners painful?
While Invisalign aligners may cause some initial discomfort, this is normal as your teeth begin to shift into new positions. Most patients report feeling pressure rather than pain, which usually subsides within a few days.

Over time, as you get used to wearing the aligners, any discomfort will lessen.
How do I clean my clear aligners?
To keep your Invisalign aligners clean, rinse them with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.

You can also use special cleaning crystals or Invisalign cleaning systems to ensure your aligners remain free of buildup and odors. Regular cleaning keeps both your aligners and your teeth healthy during treatment.
