Common Questions About Invisalign
How long does Invisalign take?
Treatment time depends on how much your teeth need to move. Your dentist will give you an estimate at your consultation. Wearing your aligners as directed helps you stay on track.
Does Invisalign hurt?
You may feel some pressure for a day or two when you switch to a new set of aligners. That means they’re working. Most patients find Invisalign comfortable.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost depends on your treatment plan. After your consultation, we’ll give you an accurate price and help you check your insurance. CareCredit financing is also available.
Can I get Invisalign without going to the dentist?
Invisalign works best when a dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite first, so we start with an exam and X-rays. Your dentist tells you honestly if aligners are a good fit. Book a consultation to find out.
Is Invisalign safe for teeth?
Invisalign is a common way to straighten teeth when your teeth and gums are healthy. Your dentist checks for decay or gum disease first and watches your progress at regular visits.
Do you have to wear a retainer forever after Invisalign?
When treatment ends, a retainer helps keep your teeth where they are. Your dentist tells you how long to wear it and when, and it's best to follow that advice.
What disqualifies you from Invisalign?
Most people with crowded, gapped or slightly crooked teeth are good candidates, but not everyone. Your dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite at a consultation, and tells you if braces or other care would work better. Decay or gum disease usually needs treatment first.
Does Invisalign count as orthodontics?
Yes. Invisalign is clear aligner treatment that straightens teeth, like braces. Your insurance may help cover part of it, and we check your benefits with you.
Is Invisalign worth the price?
The cost depends on your teeth and how much movement they need. After your consultation you'll know the cost of your treatment before you start, and CareCredit financing can spread it into monthly payments.
Is Invisalign for teens too?
Yes. Adults and teens both straighten their teeth with clear aligners. Your dentist will check if aligners are a good fit for your teeth.
Can I eat with my aligners in?
Take your aligners out to eat. You can eat the foods you love without food getting stuck in wires, then brush and put them back in.
