Invisalign

1. WHAT IS INVISALIGN?

Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without the restrictions that come with metal braces. Rather than wires and brackets, Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners that have been custom-made for your teeth. You simply wears them over their teeth and changes them out for a new set of aligners every two weeks. Little by little, your teeth gradually shift into place, achieving that confdent smile.

2. IS INVISALIGN AS EFFECTIVE AS TRADITIONAL BRACES?

Yes. When worn according to the recommendations of an experienced Invisalign-trained orthodontist, Invisalign can be as effective as traditional braces for the most common teeth-straightening issues. Invisalign can effectively treat mild to severe cases, including underbite, overbite, overcrowding and gaps between teeth. The chances are very high you will be a great candidate for Invisalign. To fnd out for sure, locate a certifed Invisalign orthodontist in your area at invisalign.com/fnd-a-doctor and go in for a consultation.

3. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PRACTICAL ADVANTAGES OF INVISALIGN OVER TRADITIONAL BRACES?

If you’ve had braces yourself, you already know the issues associated with metal wires and brackets. With Invisalign, the aligners are removable, so you can play sports without the worry of being hit in the mouth by a ball, which can cause real damage in braces. They can also continue playing musical instruments properly, without braces getting in the way. With braces, there is a long list of foods you shouldn’t eat, from popcorn to apples and raw carrots. With Invisalign, there are no such restrictions. The removable aligners make it easy to brush and floss normally to maintain proper oral hygiene.

4. ARE THERE ANY EMOTIONAL CONCERNS TO CONSIDER?

Research¹ shows that moms underestimate the extent to whichs feel self-consciousabout crooked teeth, and using braces as a solution can often make this lack of confidence even worse. But with Invisalign , no one needs to know you’re straightening their teeth, removing a potential source of real anxiety for them and giving them the confdence to be themselves in front of everyone

5. WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR INVISALIGN?

Invisalign can be used for s who have erupting or erupted permanent dentition—this includes most agers.

Invisalign costs about the same as traditional braces. Costs for orthodontic treatment can vary with geography and with the complexity of treatment – see an Invisalign-trained orthodontist for full details.

And many orthodontists can offer flexible and affordable monthly payment plans as well.

8. DO I HAVE TO WEAR INVISALIGN ALL THE TIME?

Invisalign is most effective when worn 20 to 22 hours per day and changed every two weeks. Clinical study data show that wear their aligners on average for just under 21 hours per day, exactly as recommended. Plus, Invisalign has a built-in assurance check; each aligner has blue indicators that fade over time when used as directed, so the orthodontist can track compliance.

Not to worry—Invisalign offers six replacement aligners for free! In the event that an aligner is lost, you should inform your orthodontist right away.
