How Invisalign Works
Orthodontic treatment works by applying consistent pressure to the teeth in order to move them into their proper positions. Traditional braces do so with brackets and wires. In contrast, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligner trays that are made for your unique mouth. All you have to do is wear each set of aligners for 20 – 22 hours every day, for about two weeks. As you work your way through your series, your teeth will gradually progress toward their proper places. You should visit us periodically throughout your time with Invisalign so we can monitor your progress and provide necessary support.
Indications for Invisalign
Invisalign is an effective means of addressing a range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including the following:
Crowded Teeth
Crooked, crowded teeth can trap food between them and increase your risk of decay. Invisalign may be able to shift your teeth so each one has the space it needs to function optimally.
Gaps Between Teeth
Not only do gaps between the teeth look odd, but they can also leave your gums vulnerable to harm. Invisalign may be able to move your teeth closer together.
Bite Alignment
Invisalign is an effective way to correct some cases of overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. It often does so with the help of special accessories.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Some of the most remarkable benefits of Invisalign include:
- The average treatment time is just 12 – 18 months (that is faster than traditional braces).
- Since the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods and enjoy easy oral hygiene.
- Invisalign check-in appointments tend to be quite fast and easy.
- The smooth plastic of the aligners is designed to minimize irritation on your sensitive soft oral tissues.
- Invisalign aligners have a discreet appearance; onlookers might not even notice them!
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The cost of Invisalign depends on the extent of your treatment. If your case is relatively simple, you will likely pay less than someone who needs more aligners, more appointments, and a longer overall treatment timeline. During your consultation, we can share a price estimate and help you understand your payment options. For example, we can file claims with your insurance. You may also be eligible for an affordable low-interest payment plan. We do not want you to be overly stressed about paying for your care, so do not hesitate to ask us how we can help you navigate our financial policies.
