TEETH STRAIGHTENING AND BITE CORRECTION
Invisalign has quickly become one of the most popular dental appliances in the world. Invisalign is a proven product that can straighten your teeth faster, more comfortably, and without the look of unsightly metal braces in your mouth. There's never been a better time to get the smile you've always wanted. Great for teenagers and adults alike, Invisalign is a world-class orthodontic system that can change your smile and life for the better.
INVISALIGN TIMELINE
In some cases, traditional metal braces can take up to four years to produce the kind of results patients seek. The average amount of time a patient needs to wear their Invisalign braces is two years. In some cases, patients don’t even need to wear them that long.
CANDIDATES FOR INVISALIGN
Invisalign clear braces systems are designed for both teenagers and adults. Depending on the condition of a patient's teeth, Invisalign can be used to treat a variety of issues.
COMFORTABLE AND CLEAR!
One of the best features of Invisalign is that they are much more comfortable than traditional braces. There’s no “tightening” required because the system works using clear plastic trays that are specifically designed to fit a patient’s teeth. As time passes, more trays are used to maintain constant pressure on the teeth. There may be some mild pain or discomfort associated with new trays. Not only is Invisalign more comfortable than traditional braces, but they are also far less noticeable. Invisalign braces are clear, and people would hardly notice them if they didn’t know they were in your mouth. The aligner trays, which are made of a special plastic, mold to your teeth and are designed to give you the results you want, without the discomfort and look of traditional braces. Patients appreciate that the trays are hardly noticeable, especially adults who might have put off having treatment with traditional metal braces.
NOT JUST FOR STRAIGHTENING TEETH!
Invisalign is an effective treatment for a variety of patients. Not only can it help to straighten crooked teeth, but it can help correct an overbite as well. Patients who have gaps in their teeth and want to bring their teeth closer together are also good candidates for using the Invisalign system. Adults who experience crowded teeth also benefit from wearing Invisalign braces to correct the alignment and position of those teeth. Invisalign is great for teenagers and adults alike. The technology behind Invisalign braces makes it easy to treat a wide range of complex dental issues.
TRACKING FEATURES
A unique feature that is available with Invisalign treatment is a compliance indicator that changes color as people wear their aligners over time. This helps to determine how much time is needed with the aligner trays, and when it is time to switch to a new aligner tray. This makes it easier for people to follow their treatment plan, especially teenagers. Forgetting to put your aligner trays back in after a meal or not wearing them at night means treatment won’t be as effective.
INVISALIGN DENTAL INSURANCE COVERAGE
Just like traditional metal braces, you can pay for your Invisalign clear braces using your dental insurance benefits plan. While not all plans will cover 100% of the cost, most plans will cover a portion of the cost related to getting braces, similar to Invisalign. If you aren’t sure what your benefits plan covers, it only takes a few minutes to find out from your plan administrator. Our dental office is always happy to determine your coverage as well using our billing system if you are already a patient here.
WHAT'S INVOLVED?
Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign does not use metal wires or brackets. There's no need to undergo uncomfortable attachment procedures. During your consultation, our dentist will obtain impressions of your mouth and teeth, and input that information into a specialized computer, which will determine the treatment plan for your teeth. Depending on whether your teeth need to be straightened or adjusted for the bite, Invisalign moves teeth horizontally, vertically, and can rotate them if necessary. You'll be amazed at how well Invisalign can correct your issues. Once the images are put into the computer and the aligner trays have been made, your treatment can begin. Wearing Invisalign aligner trays for up to 22 hours a day, you'll start to see results in as little as a few weeks. The better patients follow their treatment plan, wear their aligner trays on a regular basis, the better the results will be.
