How Invisalign Works
Instead of using metal brackets and wires to move your teeth, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners. You’ll wear each one for 20-22 hours a day, switching to the next set in accordance with your treatment plan. Before you know it, you’ll see a noticeable difference in the position of your teeth, the alignment of your bite, and the look of your smile. Plus, the average treatment timeline is only 12-18 months!
Who Can Invisalign Help?
At your consultation with your dedicated Clute dentist, they will complete a comprehensive oral exam to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. With that said, the clear aligners are typically suitable for patients who are struggling with mild to moderate malocclusion. Here are a few examples:
Crowded Teeth
Whether your teeth are slightly crooked or they overlap considerably, it’s worth scheduling a consultation with us. That way, we can see if you’re a candidate for Invisalign! If you are, then we will use the clear aligners to move your teeth into their properly aligned positions. Since they are basically invisible and completely removable, you won’t have to worry about unwanted attention being drawn to your smile or frustrating dietary restrictions either!
Gaps Between Teeth
Even small gaps between your teeth can harbor plaque and food particles, negatively affecting your oral health in the process. So, if you are struggling with this orthodontic issue, don’t wait – ask us about Invisalign! If we determine that you’re a good candidate, then we will create your custom treatment plan. With each new set of aligners, you’ll see the appearance of your smile and the alignment of your bite improve.
Overbite
Although your upper teeth should sit in front of your lower ones, problems can arise if they protrude significantly. In fact, even mild overbites can make it difficult to enunciate clearly, chew properly, and smile confidently. The good news is that traditional braces are no longer the only option. With Invisalign in Clute, we can align your bite with clear, comfortable, and convenient aligners.
Underbite
Another common bite problem is an underbite, which is when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper ones. Unfortunately, even relatively minor cases can take a serious toll on a patient’s confidence and oral health, which is why we don’t recommend waiting too long to schedule a consultation with us. At your visit, we will explore all of your treatment options, including Invisalign.
Crossbite
To put it simply, crossbites can lead to several unpleasant consequences, like chronic jaw pain, premature wear and tear, and low self-esteem. To prevent that from happening, we recommend exploring your treatment options, like Invisalign. If we decide together that this is the best solution, then we can move your bite into the proper position with clear aligners.
Open Bite
If your upper and lower teeth don’t meet when you bite down, you might have an open bite. The good news is that traditional braces aren’t the only solution. With the help of other orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands, Invisalign clear aligners can correct mild to moderate cases – all without noticeable and uncomfortable brackets and wires.
The Benefits of Invisalign
If you think that their discreet appearance is the only benefit, think again! Invisalign clear aligners are also widely loved because:
- The average treatment timeline is shorter than traditional braces
- The aligners are custom-made, making them more comfortable
- There aren’t any dietary restrictions
- There are fewer check-in appointments
- There aren’t any special oral hygiene products (like interproximal brushes)
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Patients who are in the process of researching Invisalign online are often looking for an estimate of the price prior to scheduling an appointment. However, it’s impossible to give an exact number since your unique dental needs have to be considered. How severe is your case? How many aligners are needed to straighten your teeth? Is single-arch treatment possible? Do rubber bands, buttons, and other orthodontic accessories need to be added to your treatment plan? Once we have the answers to questions like these, we can provide you with an answer and review the financial solutions available.
