Invisalign clear aligners offer a modern, discreet approach to orthodontic treatment for patients who want to straighten their teeth without traditional braces. At Green-Barr Orthodontics, Dr. Patrick Barr and Dr. Bryan Green provide Invisalign treatment for children, teens, and adults in Spartanburg and Inman, SC. This advanced teeth straightening option allows patients to improve their smiles comfortably while maintaining their daily routines.
Invisalign has been clinically proven to be just as effective as braces for many orthodontic concerns. With fewer food restrictions, easier oral hygiene, and greater flexibility, Invisalign is a popular choice for patients seeking an efficient and lifestyle-friendly orthodontic solution.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Each aligner is digitally designed using advanced 3D imaging technology to ensure precision, comfort, and predictable results.
Invisalign aligners are:
Virtually invisible, making them a discreet alternative to braces
Smooth and comfortable, reducing irritation to the gums and cheeks
Customized to fit your teeth and treatment goals
Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
Effective for correcting crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and other alignment concerns
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, patients can maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment, which supports long-term dental health.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign offers several advantages that make it an appealing option for teens and adults looking for teeth straightening options that fit their lifestyle.
Key benefits of Invisalign include:
No metal brackets or wires
No dietary restrictions during treatment
Easier brushing and flossing compared to braces
Fewer emergency visits related to broken brackets or wires
A more comfortable orthodontic experience overall
Invisalign is especially popular with busy professionals, students, athletes, and patients who prefer a low-profile orthodontic solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing Invisalign is an important decision, and it’s normal to have questions beyond the basics. Below are answers to common Invisalign questions that help patients better understand daily wear, expectations, and long-term results.
How Often Do Invisalign Aligners Need To Be Worn Each Day?
For best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. Consistent wear ensures steady tooth movement and helps keep treatment on schedule.
Can Invisalign Correct Bite Problems Or Just Straighten Teeth?
Invisalign can treat many bite issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and spacing concerns. Your orthodontist will determine whether Invisalign is appropriate based on the complexity of your case.
What Happens If I Forget To Wear My Aligners?
Inconsistent wear can slow progress and affect results. If aligners are not worn as directed, treatment time may increase, or refinements may be needed to achieve proper alignment.
Will I Need Refinements After My Initial Invisalign Series?
Some patients require additional aligners, called refinements, to fine-tune results. This is a normal part of treatment and helps ensure your final smile meets your orthodontic goals.
Do I Need To Wear Retainers After Invisalign Treatment?
Yes. Retainers are essential after Invisalign to maintain your results. Wearing retainers as instructed helps prevent teeth from shifting and protects your long-term investment in your smile.
