That’s where Invisalign® clear alignersThis link leads to the Invisalign page come in. At Schur OrthodonticsThis link leads to Home page in Bellevue, WA, Dr. Jeff SchurThis link leads to Dr. Schur’s page offers Invisalign® as a modern, subtle alternative to traditional braces.
Let’s explore how Invisalign® can fit into your life and help you achieve a straighter smile without the hassle of metal brackets and wires.
What are Invisalign® clear aligners?
Invisalign® clear aligners are transparent, custom-made trays that fit snugly over your teeth.
They’re crafted from a flexible material that gently shifts your teeth over time. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are nearly invisible, making them an excellent choice for adults and teens who want a more subtle look.
Dr. Jeff Schur has helped countless patients straighten their teeth using this advanced orthodontic system at Schur Orthodontics in Bellevue, WA.
With Invisalign®, you’ll receive a series of aligners designed to fit your unique needs. Each set is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next.
These aligners work best if worn consistently, about 20 to 22 hours daily.
Since they’re removable, you can still enjoy your favorite foods and brush your teeth without the usual challenges of braces.
How do Invisalign® clear aligners work?
Invisalign® uses a series of carefully calculated adjustments to nudge each tooth into its desired position gently.
Dr. Jeff Schur and his team at Schur Orthodontics will design your treatment plan using 3D imaging technology, which maps out every small movement required to get the results you want.
Each new aligner is slightly different from the last, applying gentle pressure to specific teeth. Over time, these changes add up, moving your teeth into alignment.
This method is highly effective and often much more comfortable than traditional braces.
Plus, you can see the gradual changes in your smile as you switch to each new aligner set.
What are the benefits of Invisalign® clear aligners?
Invisalign® offers several unique advantages that make it popular among our patients at Schur Orthodontics in Bellevue, WA:
- Nearly invisible: Invisalign® aligners are clear, so most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.
- Removable: Unlike braces, you can take Invisalign® out for eating, drinking, and brushing. This keeps your teeth and gums healthier during treatment.
- Comfortable: With smooth plastic aligners, there’s no risk of cuts or discomfort from metal brackets or wires.
- Predictable results: Thanks to 3D imaging, Dr. Jeff Schur can give you a clear picture of your treatment timeline and expected results.
These benefits make Invisalign® an excellent choice for anyone seeking a convenient, flexible way to straighten their teeth without the look and feel of metal braces.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign® clear aligners?
While Invisalign® can address many orthodontic issues, it may not be suitable for everyone.
Generally, Invisalign® works well for mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, and bite issues.
If you have complex orthodontic needs, Dr. Jeff Schur at Schur Orthodontics may recommend an alternative treatment to achieve the best results.
Good candidates for Invisalign® include:
- Adults and teens looking for a discreet orthodontic option
- People with mild to moderate alignment issues
- Patients who can commit to wearing aligners for 20-22 hours a day
If you’re unsure whether Invisalign® is right for you, Dr. Schur can evaluate your needs and help you decide.

What to expect during Invisalign® treatment

Once your aligners arrive, you’ll wear each set for about two weeks.
Dr. Schur will check your progress every few months to ensure everything is on track. Most patients complete treatment in about 12 to 18 months, but this can vary based on individual needs.
