How Invisalign Works
Invisalign foregoes the need for metal brackets and wires and instead adjusts your teeth in a much more inconspicuous way. The plastic aligners used during the process are transparent and thus practically invisible when worn on your teeth. They need to be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours every day, but you can take them off during meals, meaning your diet won’t be limited during the treatment. Most of the time, Invisalign in Northeast Philadelphia will dramatically improve your smile in about 12 to 18 months.
Who Can Invisalign Help?
In addition to being reliable, convenient, and discreet, Invisalign is versatile. As a result, patients with numerous orthodontic problems – from overcrowded teeth to open bites – can get the smile of their dreams without the metal! To learn more about the uses of clear aligners, keep reading!
Crowded Teeth
Simply put, when your teeth are aligned properly, you’ll have a much easier time brushing them and chewing efficiently. If your teeth are currently overlapped, crooked, or tilted out of position, then we can move them into their proper places with clear aligners, improving multiple aspects of your smile. Plus, you won’t have to wait long – the average treatment timeline is only 12-18 months!
Gaps Between Teeth
Spaced out teeth can also negatively impact multiple aspects of your smile – from how it looks to how it functions. That’s why we recommend using Invisalign to close the gaps. With the clear, virtually undetectable aligners, we’ll gently guide your teeth into their properly aligned positions. Plus, you’ll be able to watch your teeth get straighter and straighter with each tray!
Overbite
An overbite is when the upper teeth jut out beyond the lower ones more than they should. Like the other orthodontic problems on this list, the health, appearance, and function of your smile can suffer as a result, which is why we want to bring your bite into proper alignment sooner rather than later. If you’re a candidate, we can do that with Invisalign!
Underbite
Do your lower teeth sit in front of your upper teeth? This bite problem is known as an underbite and, in addition to the aesthetic drawbacks, it can take a toll on your oral health and your chewing patterns. For all of those reasons, we recommend coming in for an orthodontic consultation. That way, we can assess the severity of your case and determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign.
Crossbite
If your bite isn’t aligned properly because some of your lower teeth sit in front of your upper teeth, then you can experience numerous problems – from chronic jaw pain and digestive issues to difficulty smiling confidently. The good news is that, with the help of rubber bands, buttons, and other orthodontic accessories, Invisalign clear aligners can improve the alignment of your teeth and your bite.
Open Bite
Your upper and lower teeth should come together evenly when you bite down. If they don’t because there is space in the front or back of your mouth, then you might have an open bite. Since this orthodontic problem can take a toll on your smile in more ways than one, we strongly recommend coming to our Philadelphia dental office to find out if you’re a candidate for Invisalign.
The Benefits of Invisalign
To date, more than 12 million patients around the world have chosen Invisalign. Why? Well, here are a few reasons:
- The aligners are see-through, which makes them virtually undetectable.
- There aren’t any dietary restrictions – you can eat whatever you’d like!
- You don’t need to buy any special oral hygiene tools or products.
- The average treatment timeline is only 12 to 18 months.
- There are fewer check-in visits with Invisalign.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
In order to give you an accurate estimate of the price, we need to assess the complexity of your case. From there, we can determine the number of aligners you need, if additional orthodontic accessories need to be added to your treatment plan, and other important information that impacts the cost. Of course, we will also review the financial solutions we offer before the end of your consultation, including dental insurance and flexible financing.
