How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign treatment begins with a quick and precise scan of your teeth, either using an impression technique or advanced 3D technology. From this, a custom-crafted treatment plan is created.
How Long Will It Take?
Treatment duration varies from person to person. On average, Invisalign treatment lasts between 12-14 months. However, depending on the complexity of your case, it could be as short as six months or as long as two years.
Is Invisalign Treatment Painful?
No, this orthodontic treatment is not considered painful. Most people experience only a slight pressure or minor discomfort at the beginning of each new phase, which just means that the aligners are working.
What Are the Aligners Made Of?
Invisalign aligners are made from medical-grade, non-toxic plastic. They are smooth, comfortable, and practically invisible, making them a discreet option for teeth straightening.
Will My Speech Be Affected by Wearing the Aligners?
It’s common to experience a slight lisp for a day or two as your tongue gets used to the aligners. However, this adjustment period is brief, and your speech should return to normal quickly.
How Often Do I Have to See the Dentist During Treatment?
Regular dental visits are essential during Invisalign treatment. Typically, you’ll need to see your dentist every 6-8 weeks to ensure your treatment progresses as planned. Maintaining routine exams and hygiene appointments is also important for oral health.
How Old Does a Person Have to Be to Get Invisalign Treatment?
This clear aligner system is suitable for most teens aged 14 and older, provided their 2nd molars have fully erupted.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of Invisalign is comparable to traditional braces. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed estimate based on your specific treatment plan, considering factors such as treatment time, case complexity, and goals.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost?
If your insurance policy covers orthodontics, it likely includes Invisalign. We recommend reviewing your policy and consulting with your provider for specific coverage details.
