What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic option that utilizes clear aligners to help you get the smile of your dreams. Invisalign is completely customized to your smile and offers numerous benefits to orthodontic patients, including:
Completely invisible – The aligners are completely invisible, so you don’t have to worry about having a mouth full of metal during your treatment time. The smooth, plastic aligners will be almost completely invisible to those around you, so they won’t even know you’re in orthodontic treatment!
Comfortable to wear – The aligners are comfortable. With no metal wires or brackets to irritate the inside of your mouth, you’ll have a much more pleasant orthodontic experience.
Customized just for you – Invisalign treatment is customized just for you. Pure Smiles Orthodontics uses advanced 3-D computer imagery to replicate an exact impression of your mouth. Then, your aligners will be custom created to fit specifically to your smile, as they gently work to guide your teeth into their proper positions.
Removable –Invisalign is removable. Other orthodontic treatment options are affixed to your teeth until treatment is finished, making brushing and flossing more difficult and requiring changes to your diet. But Invisalign aligners are removable, making brushing and flossing as easy as ever, and allowing you to eat your favorite foods.
It is important to note that Invisalign may not be the ideal orthodontic option for every patient. At your initial consultation, your orthodontist will discuss treatment options he or she believes will be the best to help you achieve your smile goals.
Why Consider Invisalign
Invisalign is gaining in popularity, and for good reason. Patients everywhere choose Invisalign over standard metal braces because:
Invisalign allows you to get the smile of your dreams in a much more discreet way, without all those brackets and wires.
Invisalign aligners are removable, so you don’t have to change your lifestyle to undergo orthodontic treatment. Eat your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your braces, and brush and floss as easily as ever.
Invisalign is for everyone, no matter your lifestyle. Invisalign treatment can fit seamlessly into any person’s daily life – whether you’re an athlete, student or professional.
Spend less time in your orthodontist’s office because office visits are quick and painless. You’ll also require fewer appointments throughout your treatment time.
How Does Invisalign Work?
After your orthodontist takes 3-D images of your mouth, custom aligner sets will be created for you. Each set is worn for about a week before switching to the next. The individual sets are perfectly calibrated to achieve specific tooth movements during that time, and in just a few months, you’ll begin to notice how your new smile is taking shape.
After your treatment is complete, you’ll be given a retainer to wear in order to protect your new smile. Follow your orthodontist’s recommendations about proper retainer wear to ensure you don’t lose all of the hard work you accomplished during your treatment.
What is Invisalign Teen?
Invisalign Teen works the same as standard Invisalign, but has blue compliance indicators to track the patient’s wear of the aligners. To be effective and keep your treatment on track, the aligners must be worn a minimum of 20-22 hours a day. The blue compliance indicators that are on Invisalign Teen aligners will fade with correct usage, helping ease parent’s minds.
How much does Invisalign cost?
Many factors determine the cost of orthodontic treatment using Invisalign – the extent of your orthodontic issue, the length treatment will take, and any other specific treatment details provided by Dr. Gonzalez. However, the cost of Invisalign treatment today is very similar in cost to that of traditional braces.
