How Does Invisalign Work?
Step one is to create a digital treatment plan that determines the movements that the teeth will need to make in order to reach their ideal alignment. Then, using this plan, we can create a number of aligners that will put a gentle amount of pressure on the teeth. Each aligner is meant to move your teeth closer to where they need to be.
We will give you instructions on how long you need to wear your aligners, but you should definitely plan on keeping them in your mouth for a minimum of 20 to 22 hours each day. Generally speaking, you should only plan on taking them out during meals or when you’re brushing your teeth. Every one to two weeks, you will switch to the next set of aligners in your plan. It’s important for us to keep an eye on your smile to make sure that everything is going as expected; to that end, we will ask you to visit our office at regular intervals so that we can examine your mouth and make sure that there aren’t any issues.
Benefits of Invisalign
Why do so many of our patients choose Invisalign over other orthodontic options? One key advantage, of course, is that clear aligners are significantly more image-friendly than metal braces. Being able to smile with confidence is important for your career as well as your social life; since Invisalign is less noticeable than braces, it can make it easier to show the world your grin when it truly counts. On top of that, Invisalign doesn’t come with any diet limitations. You can continue to enjoy all of your favorite foods just so long as you make sure that your aligners are safely stored away in their case first.

Indications for Invisalign
There are many situations where we may suggest Invisalign for correcting orthodontic issues. Here are some key examples:
Crowded Teeth
Even if you brush and floss every day, it may be difficult for you to clean your teeth as thoroughly as you need to if they’re too close together. With Invisalign, we can create the necessary space between your teeth so that you can practice proper oral hygiene.
Spaces Between Teeth
Are your teeth a little too far apart? These spaces tend to attract bits of food as well as harmful bacteria. You may be putting yourself at risk for various oral health problems if you ignore these spaces, so instead we suggest that you use Invisalign to correct the positioning of your teeth.
Bite Alignment
Bite issues such as overbite or crossbite could increase your risk for chronic jaw pain, and they could also cause your teeth to wear down faster than normal. Fortunately, many bite problems can be corrected with a customized Invisalign treatment.
Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
Factors like the length of your treatment and the severity of your orthodontic issues can affect how much you end up paying for Invisalign. After examining your mouth, we will be able to put together an estimate for you based on your situation. Then we’ll go over your payment options. Dental insurance and financing can both potentially make Invisalign more affordable for a variety of patients.
