What is Invisalign

Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners. Each set of trays is worn for two weeks at a time. The aligners gradually shift your teeth into place.

The aligners are removable, so patients can continue to enjoy their favorite foods and drinks. Invisalign treatment requires fewer visits than traditional braces. Invisalign is perfect for the busy patient.

How does Invisalign work

Before treatment begins, Dr. Behroozan will take photos, X-rays, and impressions of your teeth. You will receive your first set of aligners between one and four weeks later. As you progress through your treatment, you will switch to a new aligner every two weeks. The length of treatment depends on the severity of your case.

Is Invisalign right for me?

Invisalign is a great option for busy people. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is removable. That means you can take them out to brush and floss your teeth as well as eat your favorite foods. You can also remove them for certain occasions, so your smile will look bright and clean in pictures.

How long does Invisalign take?

Many patients find that Invisalign takes a lot less time than traditional braces. Invisalign treatment typically lasts around one year, though this is completely dependent on your case. During your consultation, your dentist will be able to estimate how long your treatment will take.

Invisalign aligners are removable, so patients don’t have to worry about any dietary restrictions or food restrictions. You can simply remove the aligners when it’s time to eat. You also won’t have to worry about brushing or flossing around brackets and wires.

Is Invisalign expensive?

Invisalign is comparable in price to braces. However, Invisalign is usually much less expensive. This is because Invisalign requires fewer appointments and is a more efficient treatment.

To learn how much Invisalign will cost for you, schedule a consultation with a dental care provider in your area.

Is Invisalign covered by insurance?

Invisalign is a cosmetic procedure, so most insurances will not cover it. Some dental insurances may cover a portion of the cost. Some patients use flexible spending accounts (FSAs) or health savings accounts (HSAs) to pay for their treatment.

Many patients use third-party financing to pay for Invisalign treatment. These providers offer fixed, low monthly payment plans.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign is a popular choice for adults who are looking to straighten their teeth. It is a virtually invisible system that uses clear, removable aligners to slowly straighten teeth over time. Since Invisalign aligners are removable, patients can brush and floss their teeth normally and eat whatever they want during treatment.

Invisalign aligners are also very comfortable. They are unlikely to cause irritation to the gums and cheeks. In addition, since the aligners are removable, patients who feel any minor discomfort can simply put a new aligner in temporarily until their treatment is complete.

Does Invisalign work better than braces?

Many patients ask if Invisalign works better than braces. The truth is, both are effective forms of orthodontic treatment. Invisalign works well at correcting many mild to moderate orthodontic issues. However, braces are still better for treating serious dental problems such as misalignment and bite issues.
