You don’t need to give up your favorite foods, hide your smile, or worry about major lifestyle changes. With Invisalign, you can go about your day, attend meetings, take photos, and enjoy meals-all while your aligners work quietly and efficiently in the background.
Your journey toward a straighter, healthier, and more confident smile doesn’t have to be complicated. At Dental Park, we combine advanced Invisalign technology with the trusted care of Dr. Lee, a Platinum PLUS Invisalign Provider, to make your experience simple, personalized, and effective from start to finish.
Invisalign Teen treatment tips with Dr. Yaerin Lee
What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
Invisalign® is a modern, comfortable solution for straightening teeth-without the need for brackets, wires, or metal. Instead of traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of custom-designed, clear aligner trays to guide your teeth into their ideal positions over time.
At Dental Park, the Invisalign journey starts with a precise 3D digital scan of your mouth. This advanced imaging creates a detailed model of your current smile and allows Dr. Lee to map out a step-by-step treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Every movement is calculated, and each aligner is designed to make small, targeted adjustments to your teeth.
These clear trays are made from a smooth, medical-grade plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. As you wear each set, the aligners apply gentle, controlled pressure to specific areas of your smile. You’ll switch to a new set approximately every week or as instructed- each one continuing the movement from where the last left off.
Throughout treatment, you’ll notice steady progress as your teeth gradually shift into a straighter, more balanced alignment. The best part? Most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them. Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a discreet option for patients of all ages who want a better smile without drawing attention to the process.
And because the aligners are removable, you can still enjoy your favorite foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene. It's dental treatment that fits into your life- not the other way around.

Why Removability Matters
One of the most practical and patient-friendly features of Invisalign® is that the aligners are completely removable. Unlike fixed metal braces that are bonded to your teeth until treatment ends, Invisalign gives you the flexibility to take the aligners out whenever needed-especially for brushing, flossing, and cleaning.
This removability plays a major role in protecting your oral health during treatment. When you remove your aligners to brush and floss effectively, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy without navigating around brackets or wires. That means a lower risk of plaque buildup, cavities, gum disease, and even bone loss over time.
Another major benefit? You have the freedom to enjoy your meals without strict limitations. Sticky, crunchy, or chewy foods that are often off-limits with braces can still be part of your diet with Invisalign. While it’s common practice to remove your aligners before meals, you also have the option to eat with them in place-as long as you follow up with a proper rinse or brushing session afterward.
For patients who live busy lives, this convenience makes Invisalign incredibly easy to manage. Whether you’re eating on the go, packing school lunches, or attending events, you won’t feel restricted by your dental treatment. The key is consistency: wear your aligners most of the day, but enjoy the freedom to care for your teeth and enjoy meals without hassle.
In short, the ability to remove your aligners when needed doesn’t just make Invisalign more comfortable-it also helps you maintain better hygiene, better habits, and a better experience overall.

Who’s a Good Candidate?
Invisalign is suitable for almost everyone, including:
- Kids
- Teens
- Adults
- Seniors
It works well for people who do not require surgical dentals, making it an ideal choice for most mild to moderate alignment cases. From crooked teeth to small gaps and bite issues, Invisalign can handle a wide range of dental concerns.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
The average Invisalign treatment at Dental Park lasts between 3 to 10 months. Of course, treatment time may vary depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients begin to notice visible changes in just a few weeks.
When Will You See Results?
Because Invisalign aligners begin working from day one, you can expect to see gradual changes in your smile within the 3–10 month timeframe. Many patients report feeling more confident by the halfway mark-and thrilled by the time their treatment is complete.
Eating and Drinking With Invisalign
With Invisalign, there’s no need to say goodbye to your favorite meals. You can eat with your aligners in. Just make sure to clean them properly afterward to prevent staining or plaque buildup. If you’d rather remove them during meals, that’s fine too-just don’t forget to put them back in.
Water is always safe to drink while wearing your aligners, but it’s best to avoid hot drinks or sugary beverages unless the trays are out.
