How Invisalign Works
Invisalign aligners are custom-made in an off-site lab, where technicians build each set according to the specifications and treatment plan created by our team. Each pair of aligners is worn for 1-2 weeks, allowing your teeth to shift so that they eventually take the shape of the existing trays. After this time, you must replace your aligners with a new set to continue the process. Within 12-28 months, on average, you should see a noticeable difference in your smile.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Are you a candidate for Invisalign? The only way to find out is to schedule a consultation with your Invisalign dentist. She will evaluate the severity of your dental issues and determine whether clear aligners can achieve the desired results. Fortunately, these trays can now address even complex issues, including crowded and gapped teeth and all types of bite misalignment.
Crowded Teeth
If your teeth are crowded, not only will you likely struggle with poor self-esteem, but you may also find brushing and flossing increasingly difficult. This can raise your risk of cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease over time. With Invisalign, we can realign these teeth to create enough space for a healthier smile.
Gaps Between Teeth
Having too much space between teeth can be equally harmful, especially since food and bacteria can easily become trapped in these spaces. This can increase your risk of cavities and gum disease if left untreated. Fortunately, Invisalign can bring your teeth closer together, eliminating unnecessary space so you not only like your appearance but also appreciate a healthier smile.
Bite Alignment
No matter what kind of bite misalignment you have – overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite – your customized Invisalign treatment plan will be successful. We can be sure everything moves into place properly so that you enjoy greater comfort through the years.
The Benefits of Invisalign
When comparing Invisalign to other orthodontic solutions, such as traditional braces, you will discover there are a multitude of benefits that cannot be overlooked. From their discreet appearance and flexibility to fewer follow-up appointments and increased confidence, you can see why millions of people are choosing these clear aligners to achieve a straighter, healthier smile. To discover additional benefits of Invisalign, keep reading.
Unparalleled Comfort
Invisalign aligners are sleek and smooth, which means they are unlikely to rub against your soft oral tissues and cause irritation. This is markedly different from traditional braces, which feature protruding brackets and wires. Their roughness can cause sores and discomfort. With Invisalign, you can expect unparalleled comfort from beginning to end.
Faster Check-Ins
Each Invisalign dentist sets a timeframe for follow-up appointments; however, they typically occur every 6-8 weeks. Instead of seeing your dentist or orthodontist every month to have a wire tightened, these visits only require a quick drop-in so Dr. Chandy can evaluate your smile and ensure everything is shifting as expected.
Conservative Treatment
Traditional braces require brackets to be bonded to the surfaces of your teeth before a metal archwire is threaded in place. Invisalign aligners slip on and off your teeth with ease, making it a flexible, conservative orthodontic treatment option. There is nothing attached to your teeth, so you don’t need to worry about possible discoloration left behind by metal brackets.
Superior Discreetness
Bulky, shiny metal can be a turn-off, especially if you are a working professional. Instead of hiding your smile during treatment, stay confident while wearing your clear Invisalign aligners. Made with SmartTrack technology, these braces are discreet, allowing you to move through daily life without being unduly noticeable. Most people will never know you are undergoing treatment.
Easy At-Home Maintenance
If you wear traditional metal braces, you must use specialized dental brushes and instruments to clean your teeth properly and around your brackets and wires. Invisalign doesn’t require this additional investment. Instead, you can freely remove your trays and brush your teeth like normal. Flossing is also easy since there is nothing in your way. Taking care of your smile between appointments is a breeze, and the same is true for your aligners, which can be cleaned with lukewarm water, clear soap, and a soft-bristle toothbrush.
Much-Deserved Confidence
Before starting treatment with Invisalign, you likely felt self-conscious about your smile. However, with these clear aligners, you can remain confident in the present and future state of your smile. You never need to worry about others noticing your braces, and once you are finished with your aligners, you’ll have every reason to smile because of how straight, healthy, and beautiful your teeth will look.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Determining the cost of Invisalign requires a scheduled consultation with Dr. Chandy. Your treatment plan is likely to be different from another patient’s, so the price you pay will not be the same as someone else's. Instead, we will evaluate your smile and determine the best course of action. If Invisalign is a suitable solution, we will review your dental insurance to determine how much coverage is available before discussing alternative payment options to help lower your out-of-pocket costs.
