Invisalign is a modern teeth-straightening system that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners. These aligners are designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired position.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on individual needs. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months, but you may start seeing results in a matter of weeks.
Invisalign aligners are generally comfortable to wear. Some people may experience temporary discomfort for a few days at the beginning of each new stage of treatment, as the teeth begin to move.
For optimal results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss.
Invisalign is effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. However, severe cases may require traditional braces.
The cost of Invisalign treatment varies based on individual needs. We provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation and discuss available financing options.
Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment similarly to traditional braces. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
Aligners should be cleaned regularly using Invisalign cleaning crystals or by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water. Avoid hot water as it can warp the aligners.
After completing Invisalign treatment, you will likely need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. We'll discuss the best retainer option for you.
