How does Invisalign work?

Your clear aligners (that other people cannot see) are worn about 23 hours a day. You are able to take them out to eat and clean your teeth. Each two weeks you switch to another set of aligners. Each set of aligners is moving your teeth a predetermined amount, so that by the end of your treatment you are acquiring a smile that is more functional and esthetic!

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The average Invisalign treatment is less than a year. Invisalign treatment is customized to your own mouth so every person's treatment time is different. Science enables us to move teeth a predesignated amount each two weeks to be effective in a positive way. How much your teeth need to be moved (up, down, and sideways) determines the amount of time you will be in Invisalign.

How much does Invisalign cost?

Cost usually is dependent upon the amount of time that your treatment takes. It will also vary depending upon the cost of living in your area and the expertise of the dentist that is treating you. Costs range from $3500-$8500. There are usually monthly payment plans available which can bring your monthly payments down as low as $200 per month.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear appliance system to move your teeth to a new functional and esthetic smile. Treatment consists of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. Since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and your dentist you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?

The benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces are several. The aligners are clear (no metal brackets or wires) and they are removable. Every day oral hygiene is much easier with this system since there are no wires to clean around. You can continue to eat and drink the foods that you like throughout treatment.
