How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses clear plastic trays built from impressions of your smile. When you wear them 20-22 hours a day, the trays apply gentle pressure that shifts your teeth. Within a few weeks, they will be in the right position, so you can trade your current aligners for a new set. You will follow the same process until you’ve completed the entire series.
Once finished, you’ll receive a custom retainer to wear to keep your teeth from reverting to their original position.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Some cases may still require traditional braces, but Invisalign can treat most orthodontic issues. You might not need metal brackets and wires to straighten your teeth, but you'll know for sure during your consultation. When you meet with Dr. Horton, she will look at your mouth and determine whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign.
In the meantime, here are some of the most common problems Invisalign can solve.
Crowded Teeth
Overcrowding makes it hard to maintain good oral health. Removing built-up plaque and tartar with brushing and flossing can be difficult. But Invisalign can fix the problem by aligning your teeth. Instead of being pushed against one another, they’ll have enough space for you to clean your teeth properly.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gapped teeth can be just as troublesome as overcrowding, but instead of dealing with teeth that are too close together, enlarged spaces can make it easy for bacteria to accumulate. With Invisalign, our team can help close these gaps so you can better care for your smile. You’ll enjoy greater confidence too!
Bite Alignment
When your bite is misaligned, your teeth, jaw, and self-esteem may suffer. An overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite can lead to eroded enamel, jaw pain, and a loss of confidence. If you choose Invisalign to fix these problems, you’ll see how these clear aligners shift your teeth and bite into place correctly. In the end, you’ll appreciate a more comfortable and beautiful smile.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign has been around for decades now. In that time, millions of patients have achieved the straight, confident smiles that they desire with clear aligners. If you are considering this innovative orthodontic treatment for yourself, then keep reading to learn a few exceptional benefits that you’ll enjoy in the teeth-straightening process!
Shorter Average Treatment Time
Traditional braces can take several years to produce results. Invisalign, on the other hand, usually takes 12-18 months. Plus, most patients notice improvements in the alignment of their teeth after only a handful of trays. All that to say, if you start the process now, there’s a good chance that you’ll have a considerably straighter smile by this time next year!
Discreet Appearance
It’s no secret that traditional braces are a bit of an eyesore. Fortunately, Invisalign uses clear, virtually transparent aligners that fit snugly against your teeth. As a result, no unwanted attention will be drawn to your smile during the teeth-straightening process (as long as you take good care of your aligners, of course).
Easy Maintenance
Brushing and flossing around metal braces is often difficult, which increases the chances of bacteria getting left behind. With Invisalign, you won’t have to adopt a cumbersome oral hygiene regimen to keep your smile healthy. All you need to do is remove your trays. Then, you can brush, floss, and rinse as normal. Just be sure to rinse your aligners when you take them out and to clean them thoroughly before putting them back on!
No Dietary Restrictions
If you had metal braces in the past, then you know how difficult it can be to pick food out from between your brackets and wires. This, in turn, can limit your food options. With Invisalign, there aren’t any dietary restrictions. In fact, as long as you remove your Invisalign aligners before eating, you don’t need to completely eliminate any foods from your diet.
Improved Comfort
Invisalign aligners are more discreet and more comfortable. That’s because they are crafted from smooth plastic and are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth perfectly. As a result, many patients don’t experience any soft tissue irritation during their teeth-straightening journey.
Tip: If one of your trays does have a rough edge, cover it with dental wax to protect your tongue, lips, and the insides of your cheeks.
Less Time in the Treatment Chair
Patients with traditional braces need to commit to monthly adjustment appointments. For this reason, busy parents, students, and professionals often don’t get the orthodontic care that they need. If this sounds all too familiar, then you’ll be happy to hear that progress visits with Invisalign usually occur every 6-8 weeks instead. Plus, since we won’t have any wires to tighten or replace, these visits take less time!
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Invisalign is a tailored orthodontic treatment, so there is no set price for these aligners. Don’t let this worry you, as Dr. Horton and our team must meet with you first. Your consultation will include a detailed explanation of what your treatment will include. We’ll also explain how our personalized plan will move you closer to your dream smile. To make this a reality, we’ll also discuss the cost and review the payment options we offer.
