How Invisalign Works
Invisalign accomplishes the exact same task as braces – the system uses precise pressure to gently move teeth into their correct, healthier positions. But rather than relying on metal brackets and wires, Invisalign consists of series of clear aligners that are worn over the teeth. These trays are custom-made for each patient, and they require a pretty serious commitment; patients must wear them for 22 hours each day in order for them to move their teeth as intended. Every two weeks or so, patients must also advance to a new set of trays to keep up with the movement of their teeth. Assuming things go as planned, the aligners will gradually shift their teeth over the course of several months.
Who Invisalign Can Help
You should know that severe orthodontic issues might require traditional treatment options like braces, but for most mild to moderate problems, Invisalign can help!
Crowded Teeth
One of the most common orthodontic issues that patients experience is crowding, meaning that the teeth simply do not have enough room to remain properly aligned. This is something Invisalign can easily address; the aligners will glide your teeth into the correct alignment.
Gaps Between Teeth
Having gaps between your teeth won’t just affect your self-esteem – it can increase the likelihood of suffering from cavities or gum disease, as there’s more space for food particles and bacteria to become trapped. Invisalign can help you close these gaps, protecting your future dental health.
Bite alignment
Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and even open bites are all common concerns that can cause harm to teeth if left unaddressed, as well as impact your oral functionality. Luckily, minor bite issues can easily be corrected with the help of Invisalign.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign has helped countless patients over the years achieve their orthodontic goals. It’s a highly sought-after solution due to the many benefits it offers, including:
- On average, Invisalign treatment timelines tend to be shorter than those of traditional braces, and require fewer check-ins.
- The aligners are virtually invisible while being worn due to their special clear plastic material.
- Since the aligners are fully removable, oral hygiene is hardly impacted, and there are also no dietary restrictions.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Every patient’s smile and orthodontic needs are different, meaning that there technically isn’t a “set price” when it comes to Invisalign treatment. It will depend on a few different factors, such as the total number of aligners that are needed, whether both arches are being straightened, and of course, overall patient compliance – if a patient doesn’t wear their aligners for the required 22 hours each day, they will suffer setbacks that could be costly. In some cases, Invisalign might also involve elastics or other accessories to help your teeth move more predictably. In any case, during your consultation, we’ll closely review your treatment plan with you and all associated cost estimates.
