FAQ
What are Invisalign clear aligners, and how do they work?
Invisalign clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed when eating or brushing. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into their desired position. Over time, as you progress through the aligner sets, your teeth become straighter until they reach the optimal alignment.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign clear aligners are a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of dental issues, from minor teeth crowding to more complex cases of malocclusion. Ideal candidates are those who want a discreet orthodontic option and are committed to wearing their aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day. Teens and adults with fully developed teeth and gums are typically suitable for Invisalign treatment, though a consultation with our dentist is necessary to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, most patients complete their treatment within 12 to 18 months. However, some minor cases may be resolved in as little as six months, while more complex issues might require up to two years. Our dentist will provide a personalized treatment plan that outlines the expected timeline based on your specific dental needs.
How should I care for my Invisalign aligners?
Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is crucial to ensure effective treatment and maintain oral hygiene. You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage. Clean your aligners daily by brushing them gently with a toothbrush and lukewarm water or using the Invisalign cleaning system. Additionally, keep your aligners in their protective case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
What can I expect during my Invisalign treatment?
During your Invisalign treatment, you can expect to visit our dentist every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next sets of aligners. You may experience mild discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, which is normal as your teeth adjust to the new trays. It is important to wear your aligners as instructed to stay on track with your treatment plan and achieve the best results.
How much does Invisalign treatment cost, and does insurance cover it?
The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your treatment and your location. On average, Invisalign aligners can range from $3,000 to $8,000. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign, but coverage varies by provider. It is recommended to check with your insurance company to understand your benefits.
