At Mann Family Dental in Manchester, NH, we’ve seen countless patients transform their smiles using clear aligners instead of metal wires. If you’ve been Googling “invisalign dental braces” or wondering how Invisalign stacks up, you’re in the right place!
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Instead of brackets and wires, you slip in custom trays that gently shift each tooth into place.
Why choose Invisalign over traditional braces?
Almost invisible – so you can keep smiling while you’re being treated.
Removable – eat what you want, brush & floss like normal.
Fewer emergencies – no broken wires or poking brackets.
Adult-friendly – it suits busy schedules and professional lives.
Shorter check-ups – less time in the chair.
How the treatment generally works
We capture digital scans of your teeth to plan your full smile journey.
Your custom aligner series is created using 3D mapping.
You wear each tray for ~1-2 weeks, then move to the next.
Check-ups every ~4-6 weeks to monitor progress.
Treatment time typically runs from 6 to 18 months, depending on the case. (At our Manchester office, we average 12~18 months.)
Who uses Invisalign at Mann Family Dental in Manchester, NH?
You’ll find teens, professionals, and parents all choosing Invisalign in our West-Side/Pinardville-area office. Whether you’re navigating downtown Manchester, commuting, or running kids to local games, the convenience of clear aligners fits modern life.
Real transformation stories
Though we respect patient privacy and cannot publish specific photos here, many Manchester-area patients have walked in feeling self-conscious about crowded or gapped teeth – and walked out proud of their straighter smile. These are the kinds of changes we talk about:
Crowded lower front teeth become easier to clean.
Gaps between teeth close so your smile looks complete.
Mild overbites or underbites are reduced, improving comfort.
Adults ditch hidden wires and still get great alignment.
Each transformation happens when the aligners are worn 22 hours/day, and the plan is followed consistently.
How much does Invisalign cost?
One of the most asked questions is: “How much does Invisalign cost?” The short answer: it depends. Factors include how many aligners you need, treatment length, and how complex the case is. At Mann Family Dental, we provide a detailed cost estimate after your first consultation.
How to maintain your smile after Invisalign
- You’ve finished your aligner series – now what? Here’s how to keep your smile sharp:
- Wear your retainers as directed (usually nightly).
- Brush twice, floss once daily – aligners make cleanup easier, but you still need the habit.
- Regular check-ups every 6 months at our Manchester office.
- Avoid habits that shift teeth: don’t chew ice, bite nails, or use teeth as tools.
- Use a mouthguard when playing sports – especially if you were an aligner user.
- Be mindful of teeth-staining foods/drinks (like coffee, red wine) – clear aligners don’t mean stain-proof.
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), proper retention and regular professional check-ups are key to maintaining alignment results.
When should a child see an orthodontist or Invisalign dentist?
Around age 7, the permanent front teeth and first molars have erupted, and early check-ins are recommended.
If your child has crowded or crooked teeth, open gaps, prolonged thumb-sucking, or early loss of baby teeth, call us.

“Dr. Mann and his team are nothing short of incredible! I have really bad anxiety and have had a couple of bad experiences with dental work.
