  4. What is Invisalign Teeth Straightening Treatment? Invisalign teeth straightening treatment is a type of orthodontic procedure meant to straighten teeth without the use of traditional orthodontic devices, such as braces. Instead of metal brackets, patients can opt for custom-made clear aligners or trays. These aligners help slowly shift teeth into proper position. Invisalign are available for adults, teens, as well as children.

  5. What is Invisalign Teeth Straightening Treatment? The length of treatment depends on the state of a patient’s teeth; however, many see results in as little as six months. Some patients have even reported positive changes during the first few weeks of treatment. Aligners or trays need to be worn for a minimum of 22 hours per day, but can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing purposes.

  6. Types of Cases Treated • Overbite - In an overbite, the patient’s teeth are too close in front of the lower teeth. • Under bite– In an under bite, the patient’s teeth protrude past the upper front teeth. • Cross bite– In a cross bite, the patient’s upper and lower jaws do not line up completely. • Open Bite – In an open bite, the patient’s top and bottom teeth do not meet. • Gap Teeth – Patients with gap teeth have extra spaces in between their teeth. • Crowded Teeth – Patients with crowded teeth often do not have enough room in their jaw for their teeth to fit comfortably. • Generally Straight Teeth – For patients with generally straight teeth, Invisalign can help further perfect their smile.

  7. Benefits of Invisalign Teeth Straightening Treatment • Invisalign teeth straightening treatment has many benefits. For example, patients are able to remove the aligners when eating, as well as brushing teeth, which leads to less discomfort, less mess, and cleaner teeth. This also allows patients to eat all types of foods. The trays are also quite low maintenance, and can be cleaned with a toothbrush and toothpaste every other day. The removable nature of the trays allows patients to brush and floss their teeth quickly and easily as well, which is great for oral and gum health. • Invisalign are much more aesthetically attractive than unsightly metal braces. In many cases, they are barely noticeable and discreet. • Invisalign are also much safer than traditional braces. In braces, protruding pieces of metal and wire can injure the mouth and lips. They can also decay teeth as well.

  8. Benefits of Invisalign Teeth Straightening Treatment • Fourthly, the duration of the Invisalign teeth straightening treatment is much shorter than traditional braces. For instance, while braces may be kept on for up to five years, in many cases, patients with Invisalign complete treatment within a year and a half. • Finally, there are no surprises with Invisalign teeth straightening, in comparison with metal braces. This is because the treatment plan is fully computerized before it begins. Patients will know exactly what they should expect, as well as how long they will be wearing their appliance. Metal braces are often trial and error, with periodic adjustments.

  9. Costs of Invisalign Teeth Straightening Treatment The costs of Invisalign teeth straightening treatment varies, often depending on geographical area, experience of orthodontist, and condition of teeth. In general, Invisalign treatment costs slightly more than traditional metal braces. For example, while regular braces often cost as average of $2,500 to $8,000 USD, Invisalign often cost approximately $3,500 to $8,000 USD.

  10. Costs of Invisalign Teeth Straightening Treatment The costs can be further broken down to understand the process. For example, many consultations cost approximately $100 to $200 USD, unless otherwise specified. Many orthodontists offer free consultations as well. X-rays will cost approximately $25 to $250 USD, while continued aftercare treatment after initial treatment may cost $1,000 USD and includes a nighttime retainer. Many orthodontists offer a variety of payment plans, so be sure to discuss options before committing. Some Invisalign treatments may also be covered by insurance plans.

  11. Choosing the Right Invisalign Orthodontist Choosing the right Invisalign orthodontist is now easier than ever. Consider asking friends, family, and coworkers for recommendations. In addition, browsing Google reviews and other review sites, such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is another option as well. Browsing business websites and client testimonials can also help one choose the perfect practitioner. The reputation of the practitioner is one of the most important aspects when choosing an orthodontist. Do not rush this step. Once the practitioner has been chosen, ensure that you ask about education, experience, and qualifications. In addition, consider convenience. IS this office close to your home or office? Can you easily come in for regular appointments? Attempt to visit the office at least once. Make a note of the office environment. How is the atmosphere? Does it look clean? Are the staff courteous and professional? Do you feel comfortable?

  12. Choosing the Right Invisalign Orthodontist For patients with children, ensure that the orthodontist’s practice is family friendly. Will the orthodontist explain the process to your child or teen? Will your children know what to expect throughout the process? Finally, the cost of treatment must also be considered. Ensure that you are made aware of the costs upfront. Inquire if the office offers treatment plans or takes insurance. For patient’s struggling financially, this may require shopping around until you find an orthodontist willing to work within your budget. Some offices may offer discounts and deals as well.
