How Invisalign Works
Although the teeth-straightening process looks a bit different for everyone, the very first step is the same: a consultation with our highly experienced and caring dentist, Dr. Kevin Labosky. After getting to know you a bit better and learning about your smile goals, he’ll take a look at your teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy. Then, he will assess the complexity of your case and determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If you are, then he will take impressions of your teeth so a series of custom aligners can be made. Each one will guide your teeth incrementally closer to their ideal positions and be worn for 7-14 days.
Who Invisalign Can Help
To date, more than 12 million patients have chosen Invisalign. So, as you can imagine, clear aligner treatment is quite versatile! Below, you’ll find a little more information on some common orthodontic problems that this discreet orthodontic treatment can address.
Crowded Teeth
If there isn’t enough space in your mouth, your teeth will start to crowd together. Not only does this negatively impact the look of your smile, but it also negatively impacts the health of your smile. After all, it’s much harder for your toothbrush and floss to remove food particles, plaque, and other debris from between your teeth when they aren’t aligned properly. In short, for the sake of the look, health, and function of your smile, you should find out if you’re a candidate for Invisalign.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gapped teeth are another common orthodontic problem that can take a toll on your oral health and self-esteem. Fortunately, Invisalign is often a solution. If you’re a candidate for this orthodontic treatment, then we will gently guide your teeth into their perfectly aligned positions with completely clear, custom-made trays that are metal-free. As a result, your journey to a straighter smile will be both comfortable and discreet!
Bite Alignment
There’s a common misconception that braces only straighten your teeth; they can align your bite too! So, if you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, it’s worth setting aside time to come in for a consultation and find out if you’re a candidate for Invisalign.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Below are a few of the many reasons so many patients have chosen Invisalign:
- The aligners are removable, which makes brushing and flossing a breeze
- The average treatment timeline is 12-18 months
- There are fewer follow-up appointments
- The trays are completely see-through
- There aren’t any dietary restrictions
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The price of Invisalign isn’t the same from patient to patient. That’s because there are several factors that impact the cost, including how many aligners are needed and the type of retainer you choose. Rest assured, we won’t leave you in the dark about anything related to your treatment, including the price. Instead, we will provide you with an estimate upfront and help you find a way for it to fit into your budget.
