How Does Invisalign Work?

Have you always wanted a straight smile, but do not want to further add to your insecurities with brackets and wires? You are not out of options. We have the clear path for straighter teeth: Invisalign in Ormond Beach. Your teeth are moved into their ideal position using a virtually undetectable treatment. As a result, you can discreetly get the healthy, lasting results you want. To learn more, read on or get in touch with our team!

Traditional braces rely on brackets and wires to pull your teeth into position. While the treatment is effective, it is highly noticeable and comes with certain disadvantages, like diet restrictions and irritation. As an alternative, teens and adults have come to prefer Invisalign.

Impressions of your mouth are taken to create a series of clear aligners. They are worn over your teeth to gradually move them. You must wear them for at least 22 hours per day, switching to the next in the series as recommended by our skilled cosmetic dentists. On average, it takes about 12 months to complete your treatment.

Indications for Invisalign

Invisalign is discreet, comfortable, and effective! The clear aligners can help patients address all kinds of orthodontic problems, including:

Crowded Teeth

Do your teeth overlap? Sadly, this can negatively impact both the look and function of your smile. Don’t fret – Invisalign’s clear aligners can exert just the right amount of pressure, gradually guiding your teeth into their properly aligned positions.

Gaps Between Teeth

If your teeth have gaps between them, Invisalign can help. By bringing your teeth together, the clear aligners can benefit the condition and appearance of your smile, providing you with a grin that is as healthy as it is beautiful.

Bite Alignment

A perfectly aligned bite allows you to chew effectively, prevents teeth grinding, and avoids excessive wear and tear on certain teeth. If you’re struggling with a bite problem, like an overbite or underbite, then Invisalign may just be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Understanding the Cost of Invisalign

Many people believe Invisalign is too expensive for the average person, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Although there’s not a flat rate for clear aligners, we offer several solutions to keep the cost of Invisalign affordable for everyone’s budget. Various factors affect the amount you’ll pay, but don’t worry. We’ll provide you with a personalized estimate and review your payment options to get the straight smile you deserve without breaking the bank.

Factors that Affect the Cost of Invisalign

Every smile is unique, so a cookie-cutter treatment plan doesn’t work. Your aligners are customized to meet your exact needs to fix your bite and alignment concerns. Although every case differs, several factors affect the price, such as if you need to treat one arch or both. The complexity of the tooth movements will also affect the final price tag. If you need to make several movements, you’ll require more aligners, so you can expect it to cost more than a person needing minor improvements.

Are Mail-Order Aligners Better Cheaper?

You’ve likely seen several advertisements for mail-order aligners, which allow you to enjoy the benefits of Invisalign without paying for a dentist. They appear to be the affordable, convenient solution; however, they aren’t as safe as you might believe. If you choose mail-order systems, you won’t be under the supervision of a professional, which means they can’t intervene if there’s a problem. There are cases of patients suffering irreversible damage, such as tooth loss.

The cost of Invisalign also includes the peace of mind that comes with choosing a qualified dentist. From start to finish, they will be by your side to achieve the best results without the risks. Your Invisalign dentist will perform a thorough consultation to ensure you’re a candidate and create personalized aligners to move your teeth safely.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?

Every policy is unique, but many plans that include orthodontia can be used to offset the cost of Invisalign. You can also use your FSA account to cover any out-of-pocket expenses. We know dental insurance is confusing, but you don’t have to navigate your policy alone. A member of our team will help you maximize your annual coverage to keep a straight smile within your budget.

Options for Keeping Invisalign Affordable

If you don’t have dental insurance or you’re concerned about any out-of-pocket costs, we offer the financial solutions you need. Besides using your dental insurance, we accept other payment options, including:

  • Traditional Payments: We accept cash, checks, and credit cards.
  • Third-Party Financing: You can pay for Invisalign using monthly installments based on your credit approval.
  • New Patient Special: Ask us about our patient special for new consultations.

You’ll know exactly what you’ll need to pay before committing to Invisalign, so you can spend more time focusing on your smile. If you have any questions about using your insurance or payment options, contact our office today to speak with a member of our team.

Invisalign FAQs

What Does Invisalign Look Like?

If you’ve never seen Invisalign before, they are quite distinct. They are comprised of durable, clear plastic and are shaped to snugly fit against your teeth. Sometimes, additional appliances are required, like buttons or elastics, which can change their appearance a bit. It’s important to note that the aligners can discolor over time, taking on a yellow or dull appearance. That’s why it’s of the utmost importance that you care for them properly, cleaning them daily and taking them out when you eat or drink (water is the only exception).

Does Invisalign Hurt?

Since your teeth are being moved into an entirely new position, orthodontic treatment of any kind comes with some discomfort. The good news is that Invisalign is much more comfortable than traditional braces – there are no metal brackets and wires, after all! Plus, the smooth aligners are custom-made just for you, minimizing irritation to your lips, cheeks, and gums. Any soreness that you do experience can be mitigated with a cold compress or an OTC pain reliever.

What Happens After Invisalign?

Invisalign can effectively straighten your teeth, correcting everything from minor spacing issues to more moderate crowding. Maintaining your new and improved smile throughout the years, however, is on you. To prevent orthodontic relapse, our cosmetic dentist in Ormond Beach will provide you with a retainer. This oral appliance should be worn for 22 hours a day for at least the first six months after completing your series of aligners. From there, you will be able to slowly transition to wearing them solely at night. This is one of the best ways to ensure you don’t experience any unwanted movement in your teeth.

What if My Invisalign Aligner Broke?

Did your aligners crack or break into multiple pieces? If so, do your best not to panic and do NOT use a household item, like superglue, to piece it back together. Instead, get in touch with your dentist. Since they are familiar with where you are in your treatment timeline, they’ll be able to determine the next best steps. For example, if you’re only a day away from transitioning to your next set of trays, they may advise you to begin early. If you’re right in the middle of that set of trays, then they may recommend having a replacement one made and wearing your previous aligners in the meantime.
