Invisalign FAQs

Here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions.

Invisalign are custom-fitted, transparent aligners designed to straighten teeth without using metal wires or brackets. Using 3D computer imaging, we create a personalized treatment plan to improve your smile. These aligners are tailored to fit your teeth at each stage of the treatment process.

The Invisalign process involves wearing clear plastic aligners that gradually move your teeth. You switch to a new aligner approximately every two weeks until your teeth reach their intended positions. The duration of treatment varies based on individual needs.

The treatment duration is determined by your dentist based on factors like your bite, teeth alignment, and required movement. Individual requirements affect the treatment length.

Invisalign are crafted from medical-grade, BPA-free polyurethane resins, ensuring safety and comfort during use.

Check-up appointments are scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks to monitor progress, address concerns, and adjust treatment if necessary, as Invisalign don't need frequent adjustments.

Invisalign aligners are clear, which makes Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others. Invisalign aligners are also removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign treatment does not use metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth. In addition, you’ll spend less time in the doctor’s chair and scheduling appointments, and more time out doing the things you love.

Lastly, Invisalign treatment technology allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start your treatment, so you can preview how your straight teeth will look once your treatment is complete.

Cost depends on the severity and duration of treatment. Similar to traditional braces, more complex cases may require more aligners, impacting overall costs.

While we don’t offer financing, we do facilitate direct billing with insurance companies. For detailed information, consult your dentist or visit our website.
