How Invisalign® Works
Invisalign® accomplishes the same task as metal braces, but rather than relying on brackets bonded to the teeth and wires running through your mouth, it utilizes a series of smooth, clear plastic trays that are designed to fit over your teeth. They apply gradual pressure to create a series of micromovements, which you can’t feel or see, but over time, shift your teeth into their ideal, straighter and healthier positions.
Who Invisalign® Can Help
For more complex orthodontic problems, traditional braces are often the best way to treat them. That said, Invisalign® can be incredibly helpful for a wide range of common and moderate situations, including the following:
Crowded Teeth
Those who have overlapping or bunched-up teeth can often find it difficult to keep their smile clean. Having tight spaces between teeth can also raise the risk of cavities, decay, and gum disease. With Invisalign®, you can space your smile more evenly for greater comfort and better oral health.
Gaps Between Teeth
If you have too much space between your teeth, your smile can end up more vulnerable to damage or wear and tear. Debris and particles can also collect in the gaps and increase the chances of decay. Invisalign® aligners can help close these spaces, creating a more uniform appearance and encouraging better support for your teeth.
Bite Alignment
Do you have an overbite, underbite, or even an open bite? You can still get these issues fixed with Invisalign® trays. Your clear aligners will need to be designed to address your specific bite misalignment, and you might have to use elastics and other attachments to successfully treat your smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign®
When you opt for Invisalign® clear aligners, you unlock several unique benefits that traditional metal braces simply cannot match, including:
- Since the aligners are made from a special plastic material, they are completely transparent and hardly noticeable while being worn.
- The aligners are fully removable, meaning that they don’t include the same dietary restrictions as metal braces, and oral hygiene remains unchanged.
- Patients who wear Invisalign® often require fewer check-in appointments, and in many cases enjoy shorter treatment timelines.
How Much Does Invisalign® Cost?
Every patient’s smile will be different, so you typically won’t find a flat fee for Invisalign® treatment. The best way to know how much your treatment will cost is by undergoing an initial consultation with our team. We’ll examine your smile and develop a personalized plan so that you know what to expect, including the price. Our team will happily work with your dental insurance provider to see if they can help cover some of the treatment cost. We also offer financing through various third-party financiers so that you can work within your budget.
