Invisalign® can be used to treat a variety of dental alignment issues, such as overcrowding, gaps in teeth, overbites, and underbites. By gradually shifting teeth into the desired position, Invisalign® can give you a straighter, more beautiful smile. However, in order for this shift to be possible, patients must wear their aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day, except when eating, drinking, brush, or flossing.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign®?

Invisalign® offers a number of advantages over traditional braces, including being virtually invisible, more comfortable and easier to maintain. With Invisalign®, you can even remove the aligner trays to eat and brush your teeth, making it easier to keep your mouth clean and healthy. The treatment is typically shorter than with traditional braces, reducing the amount of time you have to wear them and resulting in fewer visits to the dentist. Additionally, Invisalign® is highly customizable and can be tailored to fit your individual needs and lifestyle.  In short, the benefits of Invisalign® include:

Signs You May be Candidate for Invisalign®

If you're looking for a more aesthetically-pleasing smile, you may be wondering whether Invisalign® is the right treatment for you. There are a number of signs that you may need Invisalign®, including: 

How Long Does Invisalign® Take To Work? 

The Invisalign® process typically takes between 12 and 18 months. However, the amount of time it will take to straighten your teeth will depend on the severity of your dental alignment issues. More complex cases, like severe crowding or bites, may take longer to treat. 

Does Invisalign® Hurt? 

Invisalign® is generally a comfortable treatment. You may experience some discomfort when you first start wearing the aligners, as your teeth are adjusting to the pressure. However, this discomfort is typically mild and goes away after a few days. 

Does Insurance Cover Invisalign®? 

Most dental insurance plans do not cover orthodontic treatment, however there are a few exceptions. If the insurance does offer coverage for orthodontics or Invisalign®, the coverage is usually limited to a certain percentage of the total cost. It is important to contact your insurance provider to inquire about the specific terms of your coverage. In some cases, it may be possible to negotiate with your provider for additional coverage or a reduced rate. Additionally, some dental offices offer payment plans, as well as discounts for cash payments.
