What Is Invisalign

Your InvisalignⓇ clear aligners are custom-made for you. The aligners are virtually invisible and fit snugly over your teeth. Invisalign is one type, and the most well known, of clear aligners that are now available.

Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly, moving them horizontally and vertically and even rotating them when needed. Your aligners are engineered to use the right amount of force in the right place at the right time.

When you change to the next set of aligners your teeth gradually move into position, following a custom treatment plan mapped out by Dr. Gilbert.

WHY INVISALIGN AND CLEAR ALIGNER TREATMENT

Clear aligner systems are one of the latest innovations in orthodontics. With 20+ years of clinical research and more than 700 patents, it is a proven technology that works!

With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster.

With a long record of successful treatment, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. There have been over 5 million people treated with clear aligners!

Aligners are more comfortable so there are no pokey wires or your other braces emergencies!
Clear aligner treatment is effective for complex cases. With constant innovation, Dr Gilbert can confidently use clear aligners for a wide variety of treatment complexities.

Intraoral Scanners

We are proud to offer intraoral scanning at our office. Digital intraoral scanning eliminates the uncomfortable process of getting impressions! iTero and Medit scanners digitally capture the contours of the teeth and gums with high precision while still maximizing comfort.

A full mouth scan can be done in less than 5 minutes and provides Dr. Gilbert with all the necessary information to make appliances, clear aligners like Invisalign, and retainers.

With our scanners we can also leverage the technology of the outcome simulator. This will give you a visual representation of what your teeth could look like after completing orthodontic treatment.

I had an excellent experience with my son’s dentist and couldn’t be more grateful for the care he provided. My son’s teeth were previously quite prominent, but thanks to the dentist’s exceptional skill and expertise, they are now beautifully aligned with no complications at all. What truly stood out was his professionalism, precision, and the confidence he brought to every step of the process. He clearly knows what he’s doing and takes great care in delivering the best possible results. I’m incredibly happy that we found such a talented and trustworthy dentist for my son. Highly recommend to anyone looking for outstanding dental care!

I had an incredible experience at Gilbert Orthodontics! The office is very clean, beautiful, and warm. The staff are extremely kind, respectful, and professional, and Dr. Gilbert truly goes above and beyond to ensure you're comfortable and cared for. I just finished my treatment, and I loved both the process and the results. Everything was explained clearly, appointments went smoothly, and I felt supported throughout the process. I couldn’t be happier with my results and highly recommend them to anyone seeking excellent orthodontic care.

Dr. Gilbert & his team are the most knowledgeable, patient, & kind professionals out there. We have 1 braces “graduate” (with beautiful teeth to date) & 1 currently in braces. Both required some significant orthodontics. Everyone in the office is attentive & responsive. Dr. Gilbert even went out of his way to see our child after hours the day before overnight camp for an emergency service. As an added bonus, Dr. Gilbert is more than generous in our community, supporting & sponsoring school & park district programs. Truly the best & highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The average treatment time is 12 to 18 months, though some cases finish in as little as 6 months. During your consultation at our Highland Park office, Dr. Gilbert will use 3D scanning technology to provide a precise timeline based on your smile goals.

Yes! You can remove your aligners to eat and drink anything. There are no food restrictions during Invisalign treatment

Most patients find Invisalign to be more comfortable because there are no metal wires or brackets to cause irritation. You may feel slight pressure when starting a new set of trays, which is a sign your teeth are moving toward their new positions.

Invisalign is virtually invisible. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, making it a favorite for busy professionals and social teens in the North Shore area.

For the best results, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss.
