What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the invisible new way to straighten teeth
without braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable
Aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal
or wires.
Does Invisalign really work?
Yes. In both clinical research and in orthodontic practices
nationwide, Invisalign has been proven effective at straightening
teeth.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict
the complete treatment plan from the initial position
to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made
“Aligners” are produced. Each “Aligner” moves teeth incrementally
and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the
next in the series until the final position is achieved.
What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?
There are four primary benefits of Invisalign:
1. Invisalign is nearly invisible – you can straighten
your teeth without anyone knowing.
2. Invisalign is removable – you can eat and drink what
you want in treatment; you can also brush and floss normally
to maintain good oral hygiene.
3. Invisalign is comfortable – there are no metal brackets
or wires to cause mouth irritation; no metal or wires
also means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting
adjustments.
4. Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment
plan before you start – so you can see how your straight
teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
What are the Aligners made of?
Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic
that is virtually invisible when worn.
What do the Aligners look like?
Aligners are nearly invisible and look similar to clear
tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made for a better
fit to move teeth. Some orthodontists have referred to
them as “contact lenses for teeth.”
Is this a new way to straighten teeth?
For years, orthodontists have used removable appliances
for limited treatment. Today, with the application of
computer technology, Invisalign treats a broader range
of cases with greater precision.
Does insurance cover Invisalign?
Because medical benefits differ significantly from policy
to policy, each patient should review their coverage.
However, if a patient has orthodontic coverage, Invisalign
should be covered to the same extent as conventional braces.
