What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays instead of metal brackets and wires. Each set of SmartTrack aligners gently shifts your teeth into place in small, comfortable stages. You wear each set for about one to two weeks, then move to the next tray in the series based on a customized treatment plan mapped out by our doctors at Farnsworth Family Orthodontics.
Here's what makes Invisalign different:
- Removable trays. Take them out to eat, brush, and floss.
- 20 to 22 hours of daily wear. Consistency is what delivers your dazzling smile.
- Tooth-colored attachments. Small, subtle bumps that help aligners grip and guide certain teeth.
- Refinements when needed. Extra trays fine-tune your final result.
Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing and gaps, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. During your free consult, one of our doctors will walk you through what Invisalign can (and can't) do for your specific bite.
Benefits of Choosing Invisalign in Lubbock
West Texas life is busy. Between work, sports, church, and family, you need orthodontic treatment that fits into your schedule, not the other way around. Invisalign delivers.
- Nearly invisible. Coworkers, classmates, and clients rarely notice you're straightening your teeth.
- Removable for real life. Take a family photo, enjoy a steak dinner, or brush normally, no restrictions.
- Comfortable. Smooth plastic instead of brackets and wires against your cheeks.
- Fewer office visits. Check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks work well for busy Lubbock schedules.
- See your future smile. Preview your results digitally before you ever start treatment.
Smiles do matter here, and Invisalign is one of the most flexible ways to get one.
Our Invisalign Treatment Process
We've made the Invisalign experience simple, digital, and completely goop-free. Most patients complete treatment in about 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of their case.
Free Consultation & 3D iTero Scan
Your first visit is a complimentary smile assessment with one of our doctors. Using our 3D iTero scanner, we capture a detailed digital model of your teeth in minutes. No trays. No putty. Then, we'll show you a ClinCheck simulation of what your smile could look like after treatment. You'll leave knowing whether you're a candidate, what treatment might cost, and how long it should take.
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Once you're ready to start, our doctors send your digital treatment plan to the Invisalign lab. Your aligners are manufactured from SmartTrack material and shipped to our Lubbock office. At your fitting appointment, we place any tooth-colored attachments needed and walk you through wear-and-care instructions so you feel confident from day one.
Progress Check-Ups
You'll see us every 6 to 8 weeks so our team can check tooth movement, aligner fit, and overall progress. If refinements are needed, we'll order them at no surprise cost. Once your teeth reach their final position, we transition you to Vivera retainers to keep your new smile in place for the long haul.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Both options work. The right choice depends on your lifestyle, your bite, and your preferences. Here's a side-by-side look:
| Feature | Invisalign | Metal Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Clear, nearly invisible | Visible metal brackets and wires |
| Comfort | Smooth plastic trays | Brackets may rub cheeks at first |
| Hygiene | Remove to brush and floss normally | Requires special flossing tools |
| Diet | No food restrictions | Avoid sticky and hard foods |
| Office visits | Every 6 to 8 weeks | Every 4 to 8 weeks |
| Best for | Mild to moderate cases, teens and adults | All ages and case complexities |
Braces are better than ever, too. If Invisalign isn't the right fit, we'll recommend metal braces, clear braces, or Empower self-ligating metal braces.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
Most teens and adults with all their permanent teeth are candidates for Invisalign. It's a strong match for:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Gaps and spacing
- Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
The biggest requirement is compliance. You'll need to wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day for your teeth to move on schedule. Very complex bite issues or cases involving significant jaw growth may be better served by braces or surgical orthodontics.
The only way to know for sure? A free consult with one of our doctors.
