What is Invisalign®, and How Does It Work?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift teeth into their ideal position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. The aligners are crafted using advanced 3D imaging technology to ensure precision and effectiveness.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign Treatment?
If you have mild to moderate alignment issues, such as crowded teeth, gaps, or bite irregularities, Invisalign dental aligners may be an excellent solution. Dr. Augend will assess your dental health and goals during your consultation to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
What Should I Expect During My Initial Invisalign Consultation?
- Comprehensive dental exam and imaging.
- Discussion of your treatment goals.
- A custom plan detailing the expected duration and cost of your Invisalign journey.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your case and the duration of treatment. At Oxford Dental, we provide clear pricing during your consultation and offer flexible payment plans to make Invisalign clear braces accessible to all patients.
Can Teenagers Benefit from Invisalign Treatment?
Yes! Invisalign Teen includes features like compliance indicators, which help ensure aligners are worn as recommended. It’s a discreet and effective option for teens seeking an alternative to traditional braces.
What Types of Dental Issues Can Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign clear aligners can address:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- General misalignments
How Often Will I Need to Visit the Dentist During Clear Aligner Treatment?
You’ll typically visit Dr. Augend every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligners. These quick check-ins ensure your treatment stays on track.
What Happens After I Complete My Invisalign Treatment?
After completing Invisalign treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your results. Dr. Augend will provide instructions on how often to wear your retainer to keep your smile aligned long-term.
How Often Should I Wear My Invisalign Aligners Each Day?
To achieve the best results, wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
What Should I Do if I Lose or Damage an Aligner?
Contact our office immediately if an aligner is lost or damaged. We’ll guide you on whether to use a previous set or move on to the next aligner while we arrange a replacement.
How Do I Clean and Maintain My Clear Aligners?
- Rinse aligners under lukewarm water after removing them.
- Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean them.
- Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic.
- Store aligners in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
Will Wearing Clear Dental Aligners Affect My Speech?
You may notice a slight adjustment period, but most patients adapt to their aligners quickly, and any lisp typically resolves within a few days.
Are There Any Food or Drink Restrictions with Invisalign?
Unlike traditional braces, you can enjoy all your favorite foods. Simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
