How does Invisalign Work?

The virtually invisible aligners, which are made of a thermoplastic material uniquely developed for the Invisalign treatment plan, look similar to teeth-whitening trays. A series of clear aligners are custom-made for you, to move your teeth in the sequence determined by us. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving onto the next set of aligners in your treatment plan.

What is the advantage in choosing Invisalign?

Besides the obvious aesthetic advantage of not having all that metal glued to your teeth for a few years, there many other benefits to going with Invisalign over traditional braces. With metal braces, hard and sticky foods can damage the orthodontic wires and brackets. The custom aligners are removable and do not force you to change your diet. The fact that you can remove them also allows you to take much better care of your teeth during the treatment. All those wires and brackets can be very difficult to brush around properly, and often people have cavities on their teeth after traditional orthodontics.

How often do I need to wear my aligners?

It is recommended that you wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day and only remove them for eating or drinking, brushing and flossing. In doing so you will maximize your benefit and minimize your treatment time.

Does insurance cover Invisalign?

Because medical benefits differ from policy to policy, you should review your personal coverage plan and check with your insurance provider. You can also call us or stop in for a FREE consultation and we would be happy to go over the finances with you. In general, if a patient has orthodontic coverage, Invisalign should be covered to the same extent as conventional braces.

Does Invisalign really work?

Yes. Over 1.5 million patients with a wide variety of dental challenges have been treated with Invisalign. Invisalign was developed with orthodontists and is used in dental practices worldwide.
