Invisalign Clear Aligners in Cibolo, TX
Invisalign is a modern, nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without traditional braces. At Embrace Orthodontics, Dr. Dima Kalakech provides customized Invisalign treatment for teens and adults looking for a comfortable, discreet solution that fits their lifestyle.
What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?

Many patients begin seeing noticeable improvements within the first few months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign is a popular treatment option, and many patients have questions before getting started.
Do I Need to Wear Invisalign All Day?
For Invisalign to work properly, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. Only remove them for eating, drinking (anything besides water), brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is what keeps your treatment on track and prevents delays.
Can I Eat While Wearing Invisalign?
No. Aligners should always be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining, damage, and buildup inside the trays. The benefit is that you can continue enjoying all your favorite foods without restrictions.
Is Invisalign Effective for All Cases?
Invisalign is highly effective for many mild to moderate alignment issues, including crowding and spacing. For more complex bite or jaw concerns, braces may be recommended to achieve the best long-term results. A consultation will determine the right option for you.
Will Invisalign Affect My Speech?
Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first few days as they adjust to wearing aligners. This is temporary, and most people adapt quickly as their tongue gets used to the trays.
How Often Are Follow-Up Visits Needed?
Follow-up visits are typically scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor progress and provide new aligners if needed. These appointments are usually quick and help ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
