Invisalign is one of the most commonly requested orthodontic options for adults, and it’s not hard to see why. As a busy working adult, a “metal mouth” is usually the last thing you want when trying to straighten your teeth. If you have crooked teeth but hate the thought of wearing braces, please reach out to our team to find out if Invisalign is right for you!
Not Your Standard Orthodontic Treatment
The Invisalign system is an alternative approach to straightening your teeth with conventional metal braces. It lets you achieve an aligned, beautiful smile without the usual inconveniences associated with metal braces through a sequence of clear plastic aligners that are customized to reposition your teeth gradually. These trays are tailored to your needs and fit comfortably over your teeth so you can speak and eat as you normally would.
Address Your Smile Concerns With Invisalign
- Eliminate crowding for a perfectly aligned smile
- Remove unwanted spacing between your teeth
- Correct rotation issues to dramatically enhance your smile’s appearance
- Recapture straightness in your smile if you’ve had an orthodontic relapse
Is This Treatment Right For You?
You Want To Be More Confident In Your Smile
If you’re looking to correct crooked teeth, close noticeable gaps, or address bite issues like overbite, underbite, or crossbite, Invisalign is an effective way to do so discreetly—helping you maintain confidence while you straighten your teeth.
You Are a Teen or Adult Looking to Straighten Their Teeth
Once your adult teeth are in and your jaw has mostly finished growing, Invisalign can be used to achieve a straighter smile, no matter your age!
You’re Committed to Improving Your Dental Well-Being
Because clear aligners are removable, your dedication to wearing them is the only way to ensure a successful outcome.
You Want a Discreet Orthodontic Treatment
If your profession involves being in the spotlight or you value a subtler approach to orthodontics, Invisalign’s virtually invisible aligners are discreet enough to fix your smile without disrupting your day-to-day.
The Benefits of Invisalign
- Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, made from a clear, medical-grade plastic that offers a subtler alternative to traditional metal braces.
- Each set of Invisalign aligners is made to fit your dental structure which enhances effectivity and gives you a more comfortable fit.
- Your aligners can be easily removed during meals, when brushing, flossing, or on special occasions, giving you freedom to enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about damage.
- Invisalign leverages 3D technology to map out your treatment plan which gives you the opportunity to visualize your treatment progress and final results—all before you’ve started!
See The Result First
We’re proud to offer our patients the ability to see a 3D rendering of their Invisalign results before they start treatment! This is achieved through a 3D prediction of your results, generated using a scan of your teeth and mouth.
This scan is created in minutes without any messy goop or putty. All we need is our small, handheld wand to capture the scans of your mouth and, before you know it, images of your smile will be displayed on a monitor for our team to review and discuss with you. Using this technology helps us order trays with a very precise fit. It also allows you to see a prediction of what your results will be, allowing you to decide if you and the dentist are in agreement about the end goal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Invisalign cost?
No two mouths are alike, and therefore, creating a customized Invisalign® treatment plan is a completely individual experience. With that in mind, the cost of Invisalign varies from one patient to another. There may be insurance and payment plan options available to you, which will be thoroughly evaluated during the cost estimate and dental care financing portion of your consultation. We are also proud to offer several financing choices to our patients, including LendingClub® Patient Solutions and ALPHAEON™ CREDIT Patient Financing, as well as our featured option – Cherry Payment Plans.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Thanks to its flexible plastic design, our patients usually don’t experience any excessive discomfort when using their clear aligners, unlike traditional braces that require routine tightening and adjustments. However, during the first few days of wearing the initial set of aligners, there may be slight pressure or soreness as your teeth become accustomed to them. Over-the-counter pain medication can be used to temporarily ease these side effects.
How long does Invisalign take?
On average, Invisalign can take between nine to fifteen months to achieve the desired outcome. However, your treatment timeline will vary depending on the complexity of your orthodontic needs and your commitment to wearing your aligners.
How do I clean my Invisalign trays?
Cleaning your Invisalign aligners is as simple as brushing your teeth! Rinse the trays in warm water (avoid hot water to maintain the personalized shape) and then gently scrub them with a toothbrush. For a deeper clean, you may also use antibacterial soap—just be sure to thoroughly rinse them before placing them back in your mouth for treatment.
How noticeable is Invisalign?
The beauty of using Invisalign is the discreet nature of the aligners. Even at a close distance, aligners are virtually unnoticeable.
