How Invisalign® Works
Invisalign uses a progressive series of clear plastic aligner trays to gently bring the teeth into their new positions. You’ll be fitted for your trays at an initial consultation, and they’ll be designed using digital impressions. Once they are ready, you’ll wear each set for 20-22 hours a day for two weeks before switching them out for the next. After you have gone through your entire series, you should see a perfectly straight set of teeth in the mirror!
Indications for Invisalign®
Dr. Casañas mainly recommends Invisalign for teen and adult patients who have mild to moderate orthodontic issues. He’ll give you or your child an exam and let you know if this treatment would be the right choice. For more advanced problems, metal braces might be necessary. Fortunately, the vast majority of the people who come to see us are good candidates for Invisalign, and we can use it to fix…
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth not only look unattractive, but they also make it more difficult to clean the mouth effectively with brushing and flossing, plus they can throw off the alignment of the bite. Fortunately, Invisalign is an excellent solution to make crowding disappear.
Spaces Between Teeth
Unwanted spaces can mess with your confidence, make eating feel awkward or uncomfortable, and even lead to speech impediments. These gaps can be closed with Invisalign so that every time you smile, take a bite, or speak your mind, you can do so with complete confidence.
Bite Alignment
An overbite, underbite, or crossbite can affect someone’s appearance and cause chronic jaw pain due to excess strain placed on the temporomandibular joint (the joint that controls the lower jaw). By properly aligning the bite, Invisalign can improve someone’s appearance and provide long-term relief at the same time.
Benefits of Invisalign®
- Practically Invisible: With metal braces, everyone knows you have them, but Invisalign aligners practically disappear once you put them on, meaning you don’t have to worry about friends or coworkers noticing your treatment.
- Custom Fit: Thanks to the quality of our digital impressions, each tray fits perfectly, and the smooth plastic feels comfortable against the teeth and gums.
- Easily Removable: Is it time to eat or clean your teeth? Just take your trays off until you’re done!
The Cost of Invisalign® Treatment
The primary factor that determines the cost of Invisalign is the number of trays needed to make the necessary adjustments. This can vary greatly from patient to patient depending on the nature of their issues as well as the starting position of the teeth. When you come to see us, we’ll discuss all of the cost information so that you know everything you need to make a confident decision about your care. We can also go over our flexible financing options.
