How Invisalign Works

With Invisalign, there aren’t any metal brackets or wires. This might leave you wondering, “How does it work, then?” Essentially, a series of clear, custom aligners are made. Each set is designed for specific tooth movements and should be worn for 20-22 hours a day. After one or two weeks, you’ll move onto the next pair, and your teeth will continue to move closer to their ideal positions. This process repeats until you achieve the desired results!

Who Invisalign Can Help

At your initial appointment, you’ll meet with Dr. Garland so he can determine if you’re a candidate. The good news is that Invisalign has proven to be effective at correcting overbites, overcrowding, and several other common orthodontic problems. So, there’s a good chance that clear aligners are right for you!

Crowded Teeth

Unfortunately, teeth that overlap can negatively impact your self-esteem as well as your oral health. After all, food particles and plaque are difficult to remove from the unique crevices, which increases your risk of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and bad breath. So, schedule a consultation with us sooner rather than later to explore your treatment options, like Invisalign!

Gaps Between Teeth

Similarly, gapped teeth can increase your risk of oral health problems and make it difficult to smile confidently. There is some good news: Invisalign clear aligners can be used in mild and moderate cases to guide your teeth into their properly aligned positions without metal brackets and noticeable wires.

Bite Alignment

We don’t just want your teeth to be straight; we want your bite to be aligned! Fortunately, clear aligner treatment can fix common bite problems, like overbites. Sometimes, this requires attachments, rubber bands, and other orthodontic accessories.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Over two decades after its debut, Invisalign continues to be so popular because:

  • You don’t have to change your diet or oral hygiene regimen
  • The average treatment timeline is 12-18 months
  • There are fewer check-in visits
  • The aligners are virtually invisible
  • The trays are custom-made for comfort

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

There are general price ranges online, but those aren’t necessarily accurate. After all, there are a lot of factors that impact your treatment plan, including the severity of your misalignment, if orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands, are needed, and how well you follow the guidelines provided. Rest assured, we will provide you with an estimate of the cost at your consultation. We will also review the financial solutions available and answer any questions you have so you aren’t left in the dark.
