Benefits of Invisalign™
- Nearly Invisible - Invisalign is more
esthetically pleasing.
- Better Oral Hygiene -
Patients can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy teeth and
gums.
- Comfortable - There are not metal wires or
brackets to cause mouth irritations.
- Removable - Patients can still eat and
drink what they want
How does
Invisalign work?
- An Invisalign™ practitioner
takes records of the patient, including PVS impressions, intra and
extra-oral photos and x-rays. The records are sent to the Align
Technology with the desired treatment goals.
- Plaster models are poured and then
scanned to create a highly accurate digital image.
- A virtual treatment is created
with the teeth moving gradually from initial to final position. Each
stage corresponds to the movement built into a set of aligners.
- This virtual treatment is presented
in the form of a movie.
- Upon approval of the treatment,
align Technology manufactures the customizes aligners, and sends them
to the treating practitioner, along with any instructions and
attachment of templates required. Sets of aligners are then
distributed to the patient at each appointment.

Invisalign™ is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a
series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it's been
proven effective in both clinical research and in practices
nationwide. So whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have

RETURN
- How often do I have to wear my
aligners?
-
Invisalign™ only works while you are wearing the aligners. It is recommended
that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat,
brush and floss your teeth - or as directed by your doctor.
RETURN
- How long does Invisalign™ take?
-
The duration of your treatment depends on the severity of your
case, which determines the number of aligners you need. However, the
average is about 12 months, but only your doctor can determine the
length of your treatment.
RETURN
- How much does Invisalign™ Cost
-
As with traditional braces, the cost will be based on the
complexity of your case and the length of treatment. Many doctors
charge the same for Invisalign™ as they do for traditional braces.
Also, if your dental insurance plan covers traditional braces, it will
typically covers Invisalign™ to the same extent.
