Clear aligners are almost invisible, unlike standard braces. They can be easily removed for eating, drinking and brushing teeth.
Cost
Invisalign costs less than traditional braces. The cost of Invisalign can vary depending on individual oral health requirements and treatment goals. If you need to fix only a few crooked teeth or if the bite is just slightly misaligned then the process should be quick and simple. A more complex malocclusion can require more aligners or multiple appointments, which will increase the cost.
Some dental and health insurance companies cover at least a portion of the cost for Invisalign. If yours does, it’s a good idea to contact them ahead of time and ask what the exact coverage amounts are. If you’re not sure what your coverage is, you can always book a free consultation with an Invisalign provider to find out more.
Use of money from a health savings or flexible spending account can help you save on Invisalign. These accounts are funded by pre-tax dollars and can save you a lot of money in the long term. In addition, many Invisalign providers offer monthly payment plans that can make the procedure more affordable for you.
Shopping around is the final way to lower the cost of Invisalign. Prices are similar among dentists but can vary by location. This is because of a number factors, such as the cost to live, rent and the expenses of running a dentist’s office. When deciding where to receive your Invisalign, you should also take into account if the doctor is a top Invisalign provider.
Comfortable
The removable trays allow you to enjoy a variety of foods without having to worry about them getting damaged or stuck. This freedom allows you to maintain your oral hygiene, as food particles can easily get stuck between the wires or brackets of a traditional metal brace.
Furthermore, with Invisalign, you don’t need to visit your orthodontist regularly for adjustment appointments, which are often quite painful. Instead, your orthodontist will send you a new set of trays every few weeks that are specially designed to address the next stage of your treatment plan. The trays change is what causes teeth to move gradually rather than suddenly.
If you find it difficult to remove your aligners from your mouth, then you may need to buy special ‘chewies. You can also ask your orthodontist if he will provide you with a hook tool to help pull the trays out of your mouth.
Invisalign aligners have a smooth and softer plastic than metal braces. They are therefore easier to bite. The smooth surface of the plastic aligners reduces the likelihood of gum irritation. The aligners are also made of FDA-approved materials and do not contain BPA or any other harmful chemicals.
Quick
The time it takes to get straight teeth with Invisalign depends on the severity of a patient’s misalignment. The longer it takes, the more serious the issue. There are some things that patients can do to accelerate the process. For example, they can rinse and soak their aligners daily to remove bacteria that may cause them to smell. They should also not remove their aligners for more than 20 to 22 hours per day. They should also brush and floss regularly.
An orthodontist creates a customized plan before a patient starts treatment using 3D digital imaging. This technology allows doctors to view the jaw from various angles and see how the smile of a patient will look after treatment. Once a treatment plan is established, a set of clear aligner trays customized to the patient’s needs will be made.
Once a patient has started the Invisalign treatment, they will need to visit their dentist or orthodontist on a regular basis. This is to monitor their progress. The doctor will replace the current aligners with the next series. This will be done until the desired result is achieved.
A good candidate for Invisalign is someone who has a healthy mouth and doesn’t have gum disease. It is also important to have a full set of teeth that are free of cavities and fillings. Before beginning treatment, it is recommended that X-rays be taken and the candidate undergo a thorough exam. During the examination, the doctor will look for any serious conditions such as bone loss or other serious conditions which would prevent Invisalign from being used.
Invisible
Invisalign is virtually invisible when worn, unlike traditional metal braces. This allows patients to straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious about the appearance of their smile. Invisalign trays are made of clear plastic material that fits snugly over the teeth, and they can be removed for eating and drinking. The trays also are easy to clean as they can be wiped down and rinsed in order to remove any bacteria that may have built up during treatment.
Unlike traditional metal braces, which can have protruding wires and brackets that can scratch the inside of the mouth, Invisalign is comfortable to wear. The trays are smooth and do not rub against the inside of the mouth as they shift the teeth into place. They can be removed for brushing and fl owing, making them a more hygienic alternative to metal braces.
Invisalign offers a shorter treatment time than traditional metal braces. Invisalign treatments can be completed in 12-18 months, giving you a straighter smile and a more confident appearance. This means that you and your doctor will spend less time at the office, and that you’ll need to visit the dentist less often for adjustments or new hardware.
Strangers may not notice your Invisalign tray, but those who are close to them will. You can confidently respond to any questions they may have about your treatment. Invisalign gives you a charismatic smile and a boost of confidence.
Invisalign is safe for the majority of patients as long as they wear their trays for 22 hours per day and remove them only to eat and drink. You should also rinse your trays daily to remove any bacteria that could cause them to smell or discolour. If you do not wear your trays properly, they will not be as effective and your treatment will take longer.
