Invisalign (wireless braces)

Ever wanted to get your teeth straightened but were afraid it might hurt or cost too much?

Our office now offers Invisalign® - the exciting new way to straighten your teeth without braces

Invisalign® is an exciting new technology that straightens your teeth with a series of clear, customized, removable aligners. The aligner is a thin piece of medical grade plastic that fits over the teeth like a glove would fit on a hand. Hardly anyone can tell you're going through treatment and because the aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you want during treatment. For the many patients interested in straightening their teeth, but not willing to wear metal braces, Invisalign can be an ideal treatment. Invisalign is an excellent alternative to traditional braces because it is comfortable, removable, and virtually undetectable. In addition, Invisalign allows you to view a virtual treatment plan before you get started so you can see how straight your teeth will become.

How does Invisalign work?
Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign translates your doctor's instructions into a series of nearly undetectable aligners. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth gradually week by week, millimeter by millimeter until you've achieved the desired result.

Top

Is Invisalign effective?
Thousands of doctors are treating patients with Invisalign. It works for a wide range of people whose teeth are too crowded or have spaces between them, as well as for those whose teeth may have shifted after having worn braces in their youth.

How often will I have to wear my aligners?
Invisalign only works while you are wearing the aligners. It's recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush and floss your teeth - or as directed by your doctor.

How long does Invisalign take? The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, which determines the number of aligners you need. However, the average is about 12 months, but only your doctor can determine the length of your treatment.

How much does Invisalign cost?
As with traditional braces, the cost will be based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. Many doctors charge the same for Invisalign as they do for traditional braces. Also, if your dental insurance plan covers traditional braces, it will typically cover Invisalign to the same extent.
