How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is a system of clear, plastic aligners that are delivered in a series. Each set is designed to be worn 20-22 hours a day so that teeth will continue to move with the help of gentle pressure that is applied. Invisalign only works if you wear the trays accordingly, so it’s pivotal that you only take them out to eat, drink, or clean your aligners. After 1-2 weeks of wear, you will change out your current Invisalign aligners for new ones so that your smile will enter a new stage, putting you one step closer to achieving your results in 12-18 months on average.

Indications for Invisalign

Each person’s case is different; however, Invisalign is recommended if you are suffering from mild or moderate malocclusion. These trays can address:

Crowded Teeth

Overcrowding not only negatively affects your appearance but also makes it harder to clean between teeth. The risk of tooth decay and gum disease increases as well as the potential for enamel erosion. Invisalign trays can gently move your teeth so that necessary space is created, and overlapping teeth no longer appear crowded.

Gaps Between Teeth

Gapped teeth can form as a result of genetics or non-nutritive habits, like thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting. When this happens, a lack of self-confidence and an increased risk of gum disease are likely to occur. However, Invisalign can be used to bring your teeth together so that the extra space no longer exists, making it harder for teeth to trap harmful bacteria.

Bite Alignment

Bite misalignment of any kind (i.e., overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite) can negatively impact your aesthetics, tooth enamel, jaw joints, and ability to eat, speak, and even breathe correctly. With the help of Invisalign, these aligners can reposition your smile accordingly so that your bite works more smoothly and without causing pain.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Millions of people have forgone the use of metal brackets and wires in exchange for a clearer, more comfortable form of orthodontic treatment. The benefits of Invisalign cannot be overlooked, as they:

  • Often produce shorter treatment times (i.e., 12-18 months) on average
  • Are designed for greater comfort because they do not have protruding brackets that can rub against the soft tissues inside your mouth (i.e., gums, lips, cheeks, tongue)
  • Require no dietary restrictions, so you can eat the foods you love
  • Allow for a more flexible form of treatment since they can be removed before eating, drinking, and cleaning
  • Easy to maintain, only requiring a soft-bristled toothbrush, clear soap, and lukewarm water
  • Allow for fewer follow-up appointments that are often 15 minutes or less

Understanding the Cost of Invisalign

Invisalign clear aligners are not a one-size-fits-all form of treatment. They are customized according to your dental needs, ensuring you achieve the kind of results that produce a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile. When calculating the cost of Invisalign, our team must consider various factors before delivering a thorough cost estimate. These might include the severity of your misalignment as well as how long we expect it to take for teeth to move over time.

We understand that orthodontic treatment of any kind is a financial investment, which is why we encourage you to contact our office to go over our available payment options. Not only do we welcome many PPO dental insurance plans, but we also offer flexible financing through CareCredit.
