Smile Straighter With Invisalign®

Every person can appreciate a straight, beautiful smile. And while that's a desire we all share, it can be hard to achieve for some. Innovation in today's dentistry world, however, makes achieving the smile of your dreams quicker and easier than ever. Invisalign boasts a variety of benefits to people seeking a straighter, healthier smile. But what is Invisalign and is it the right treatment option for you?

Invisalign is a recently-developed treatment option in the dental world that has helped more than 6 million smiles already. It is a data- and science-based system that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. Invisalign aligners work like traditional braces to straighten teeth, but with the use of comfortable and clear aligners instead of uncomfortable and expensive orthodontic gear. They slowly and gradually shape your mouth to your ideal smile through, customized to suit you perfectly.

This breakthrough straightening technique comes with none of the restriction of your traditional braces. Invisible and painless, they can treat a variety of cases . Smiles characterized with the following issues may be helped by Invisalign treatment:

• Gap teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Crookedness
• Open-bite
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Gap teeth
• Mix of baby/permanent teeth

Invisalign can treat smiles of most sizes. Adults and teens, as well as tweens, can benefit from these specialized aligners. However, a person's eligibility for Invisalign is based on an individual assessment performed by your dental team. Invisalign can be started by some kids ages 6-10 but can be used by most teens and adults.

It's easy to see why millions are starting the Invisalign treatment of their dreams. It's invisible, comfortable, less invasive, and even less expensive than braces. Getting started with your Invisalign is even easy, with a routine exam by your dentist. If you're eligible, your dentist will use images of your mouth to formulate a plan to customize your smile. This plan is then sent off to be made into your aligners. After a few weeks, you should receive your Invisalign treatment.

You will change your Invisalign aligner every 1-2 weeks, depending on your plan. Each new set is designed to gradually move your teeth to the perfect position. Each person's plan is different, but people seeking a slightly straighter smile can see their results in as little as 6 months. For bigger issues, most people see their results with 12-24 months. Your dentist will ensure your progress is monitored during this time.

Just like most dental procedures and treatments, the cost of Invisalign varies by person, on an individual basis. Depending on your insurance coverage, the severity of the issue, and length of use, Invisalign treatments can cost anywhere between $1,500-$6,000. This may not include additional costs incurred by visits or other dental work.
