How Invisalign Works
With traditional braces, metal brackets and wires guide the teeth into their ideal places. With Invisalign, a custom series of clear aligners is used. You’ll wear each set for 20-22 hours a day and for 7-14 days. Then, you’ll progress to the next pair. Throughout the process, you’ll come to our office every 6-8 weeks so Dr. Chanelle Sy can monitor the movement of your teeth and make sure that you’re on track with your treatment plan. Once we’ve achieved the desired results, we will begin the process of having a custom retainer made.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Invisalign can address several common orthodontic problems, including:
Crowded Teeth
Previously, patients who were struggling with overcrowding had one choice: traditional braces. Now, Invisalign is usually an option for patients who have mild to moderate cases. If you are interested in clear aligners, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us!
Gaps Between Teeth
Whether there is a large gap between your two front teeth or several smaller spaces throughout your mouth, you may be a candidate for Invisalign. The best way to find out is by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Sy so she can complete a comprehensive oral exam.
Bite Alignment
In addition to correcting overcrowding and spacing issues, Invisalign clear aligners can address overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites that aren’t too severe. So, you shouldn’t assume that traditional braces are your only option!
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign continues to be one of the most sought-after orthodontic treatments because:
- The aligners are clear, making them virtually undetectable
- There aren’t any dietary restrictions
- Maintaining a healthy smile is easy
- It requires less time in the treatment chair
- The average treatment timeline is shorter
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Although there are price estimates available online, they can be misleading. After all, there are several factors that need to be considered, including how severe your misalignment is and if orthodontic accessories are needed, like rubber bands. For this reason, we recommend scheduling a consultation at our office if you’re interested in learning more about the cost. In addition to providing you with an estimate, we can discuss the different financial solutions that are available, such as dental insurance.
