What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth in a discreet manner. Using clear plastic aligners to gently shift the teeth into the proper position, Invisalign is essentially invisible. This alternative to braces treatment is a more recent invention, but numerous studies and satisfied patients have proven its effectiveness when used correctly.

Treatment includes a series of clear plastic retainer-like trays that fit over the teeth. You will be instructed to wear each aligner for 1-2 weeks, switching to the next aligner in order until you have worn the entire set. Then your treatment is complete and your teeth will be in the desired position.

Are You a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment is effective for many patients, from children to adults, but not necessarily everyone. Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic cases and can correct common issues such as crowding, gaps between the teeth, mild overbite, and more. If you’re interested in Invisalign treatment, a brief evaluation can determine whether or not this treatment option would be right for you.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is becoming increasingly popular due to the following benefits:

Discreet. The clear aligners are essentially invisible on your teeth. As long as you keep them clean, they remain unnoticeable by most people.

Comfortable. The smooth, flexible plastic shifts the teeth gently and won’t irritate the soft tissues of your mouth for a more comfortable treatment experience.

Hygienic. The aligners are removable for eating and dental hygiene. It is easier to keep your teeth clean, and there are no food restrictions.

Effective. Invisalign treatment is only as effective as a patient is compliant. If worn as instructed (usually around 22hrs/day), this treatment can be extremely effective in satisfying your orthodontic needs and desires.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

Does Invisalign cost more than braces?

Usually Invisalign will cost slightly more than traditional braces treatment as the lab fee for the office is higher than regular braces. Each Invisalign case requires an extensive workup as every tooth movement in each tray is custom designed for you to achieve the best possible result.

Does insurance cover Invisalign?

If your dental insurance includes partial coverage for orthodontic treatment, Invisalign typically qualifies. We would be happy to assess your insurance benefits, or you can contact your insurance provider for more information about your plan.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The average Invisalign treatment ranges from 1-2 years. The exact length of your treatment will depend on your individual needs, including the extent of the corrections necessary to help you achieve your desired results.

How many hours do I need to wear my aligners each day?

We recommend wearing your aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat and clean your teeth. The more you wear your aligners, the more effective and faster your treatment will be.

Can you eat or drink while wearing your aligners?

It is recommended that you remove your aligners to eat and drink anything other than water. Food particles and liquids can get trapped under your aligners, putting you at a higher risk of tooth decay. After eating, brush your teeth, or at least rinse with water, prior to putting the trays back in your mouth.
