How Do Invisalign Clear Braces Work?
Invisalign treatment begins with digital impressions and a personalized plan designed by Dr. Ronen Rotem, a Certified Invisalign Provider. You’ll receive a series of custom-made, BPA-free plastic aligners that gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions.
Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks, at least 20 hours per day. You can remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss—or for special occasions. Every 6–8 weeks, you’ll visit our Toms River office to check progress and receive your next aligner sets.
Most patients complete their Invisalign journey in 9 to 15 months, with visible results in just a few weeks.

Why Choose a Dentist Over At-Home Aligners?
At-home aligner kits like Smile Direct Club and Candid Co might sound convenient, but they often skip the most important part of orthodontic care: professional oversight. At Rotem Dental Care, we give your smile the expert attention it deserves.
- Customized Care: Every Invisalign plan is crafted and monitored by Dr. Rotem — not a computer algorithm.
- Advanced Digital Scanning: We use precise iTero™ technology instead of mail-in molds that can easily be rejected or distorted.
- In-Person Support: You’ll always know who to call if you have questions, concerns, or need an adjustment.
- Better Results: With expert guidance, we can treat more complex cases, monitor progress, and ensure your bite stays healthy long-term.
- Avoid Costly Mistakes: Many patients come to us after disappointing results from at-home kits — don’t let that be your story.
When it comes to your smile, there’s no substitute for personalized, professional care.
Understanding the CLAWS Approach: How Invisalign Can Improve Your Oral Health
When most people think of Invisalign, they picture straighter teeth and a more beautiful smile. But did you know that Invisalign can also play a crucial role in your overall oral health? At our practice, we use a helpful tool called the CLAWS approach to identify signs that your teeth may need more than just cosmetic improvement.
What is CLAWS?
CLAWS is an easy-to-remember acronym that helps us spot common oral health issues related to misaligned teeth (malocclusion). Each letter stands for a specific symptom that can affect your teeth and gums:
- Clefting (C): Also known as gum recession, clefting occurs when your gums pull away from the teeth, exposing the roots. Misaligned teeth are a major cause of this problem. Correcting alignment with Invisalign can sometimes allow the gums to repair themselves naturally.
- Lingual Inclination (L): This refers to teeth that tilt inward toward the tongue. Such misalignment can make cleaning difficult and increase your risk of dental problems.
- Abfractions (A): These are small, wedge-shaped notches at the gumline, often caused by excessive force from an improper bite. Aligning your teeth can help reduce these forces and prevent further damage.
- Wear (W): When teeth don’t fit together properly, they can grind or collide, leading to abnormal wear. This can make teeth look flat or chipped and may even cause sensitivity.
- Shifting (S): Ongoing crowding or movement of teeth can worsen over time, making cleaning harder and increasing your risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
Why Does This Matter to You?
Misaligned teeth are more than a cosmetic concern – they can lead to gum recession, tooth wear, and even bone loss if left untreated. By identifying these CLAWS signs during your exam, we can show you exactly how your bite is affecting your oral health. Using advanced tools like the iTero™ digital scanner, we can visually track changes in your teeth over time and explain what we see in an easy-to-understand way.
How Invisalign Can Help
Invisalign clear aligners are designed to gently move your teeth into their ideal positions, addressing the root causes behind many CLAWS symptoms. By improving your alignment, Invisalign can:
- Reduce gum recession and help your gums recover
- Prevent further wear and damage to your teeth
- Make it easier to keep your teeth clean and healthy
- Lower your risk of gum disease and tooth decay
