Invisalign®

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign® treatment uses a series of clear plastic removable orthodontic aligners to gently move your teeth in small increments. For the best results, Invisalign clear aligners are to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. Each aligner is slightly different, you’ll wear a set of aligners for one to two weeks or as prescribed by your dentist, before moving onto the next set.

More About Invisalign

The cost of Invisalign® will vary depending on your teeth and the treatment plan to align them. Typically, the price of Invisalign treatment costs between $2,000-$10,000 depending on the complexity of the case.

Contributing factors can include treatment goals, length of treatment and your current tooth alignment.

Invisalign's clear aligner technology works by gently moving your teeth in small increments. The aligners are custom-made to your teeth and are changed out every couple of weeks depending on your progress.

The length of your Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your case. Your Invisalign provider will talk to you about the options available to you and treatment times can be anywhere from 6 to 24 months.

 

You may experience discomfort of pressure for the few days that follow each aligner change. This is completely normal and is a sign that the clear aligners are moving your teeth into their straighter position. Any pain or discomfort that you experience will be noticeably less than traditional metal braces can cause.

Aligners are most effective when worn at least 20 to 22 hours a day. We recommend only removing for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing and flossing your teeth.
