Why Consider Invisalign now?

Invisalign moves teeth to give patients their most beautiful natural smile. Aside from the obvious cosmetic benefits you will see, Invisalign can also improve your gum health and extend the lifespan of your teeth. Improving your teeth alignment will allows you to more easily clean your teeth, and will help you deter plaque and bacteria from accumulating in the soft tissues of your gums, aiding in prevention of periodontal disease.

Having proper dental alignment will also improve the relationship between your top teeth and bottom teeth, which we call occlusion or bite. When you have an ideal bite, you will decrease your chances of breaking, fracturing, and/or chipping a tooth. A one-time investment in Invisalign treatment can be a great investment compared to having to undergo procedures to correct occlusion and related dental damage.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign straightens your smile by using clear trays to gradually shift your teeth. Every two weeks, you'll switch your aligners. Invisalign progressively moves your teeth with each new tray. On average, treatment can take anywhere between 6 and 15 months.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment involves clear aligners. In some cases, buttons and slenderizing teeth are used to facilitate movement.

Aligners are clear trays made of hard plastic. They provide the forces necessary to shift teeth into position.
Buttons are small, clear plastic pieces applied to the surface of the tooth. They are a more discrete bracket and help move teeth in the correct direction.
Slenderizing involves removing a small amount of tooth surface to make room for movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I wear my trays?

Invisalign is only effective when the trays are worn at least 20 hours a day. They should only be removed when you eat or drink anything aside from water. Not wearing your trays as prescribed could result in a longer treatment, or unsuccessful results.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign does not hurt. It is normal to experience pressure awareness the first three days of each new aligner. This is just your teeth acclimating to the new movement. We recommend changing your trays at night and taking ibuprofen as needed to reduce discomfort.

How should I clean my trays?

It's important to remove your trays whenever you eat or drink anything that's not water. We recommend brushing your trays with toothpaste and water at least twice a day.

How much does Invisalign cost?

The cost of Invisalign depends on the duration of your treatment. It ranges anywhere from 6, 12, or 24 months. Elite Dental offers flexible payment options so you can get the smile you've always wanted.
