How Invisalign Works
Technically, Invisalign can accomplish the same tasks as traditional metal braces; the aligners facilitate tooth movement over time through a series of gradual, undetectable micromovements. The aligners need to be worn for around 22 hours every day, 7 days a week – they should only be removed whenever it’s time to eat meals or perform oral hygiene. Eating or drinking anything (aside from clear water) can harm the aligners, impacting their performance. You’ll continue to advance through each set of trays, swapping to a new set every few weeks to match your tooth movement.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Invisalign is capable of correcting a very wide range of problems, including but not limited to:
Crowded Teeth
Overcrowding can impact your smile’s appearance and functionality. What’s worse is that it also makes your teeth simply harder to care for! However, it’s also an issue that Invisalign is very well-suited to treat.
Gaps Between Teeth
Invisalign is more than capable of closing gaps between teeth, whether they’re affecting the front teeth or the back teeth. These gaps can also easily trap cavity-causing bacteria, so it’s in your best interest to have them corrected.
Bite Alignment
Invisalign doesn’t just straighten and move teeth – it can also correct the jaw’s positioning! Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites are some of the most common bite issues that Invisalign is capable of correcting.
The Benefits of Invisalign
When you begin Invisalign treatment, you aren’t just kicking off your journey to a straighter smile – you’re gaining access to numerous benefits! These include:
- The aligners are completely removable, meaning that you can eat all of your favorite foods with ease. Better yet, this also means that brushing and flossing your teeth is more or less unchanged.
- Thanks to their clear plastic material, the aligners are virtually undetectable while being worn, which is drastically different from gleaming metal brackets and wires.
- On average, Invisalign timelines tend to be shorter than those of traditional metal braces.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Remember, no two smiles are truly the same, and Invisalign isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment. The aligners are custom-made for your smile and unique circumstances, and what works for one patient might not work for another patient. This means that there is no “set cost” for this treatment. During your consultation, our team will carefully review your dental history, examine your teeth, gums, and jaw, and come up with a custom treatment plan that accomplishes your goals. Once we’ve gone over everything, we’ll be able to let you know what you can expect to pay, as well as how insurance and financing will fit into the picture.
