Invisalign is a new ortho treatment which moves the teeth without brackets and wires. The animated picture above shows movement of the upper teeth using this procedure. It consists of wearing a series of clear retainers for several weeks until the desired alignment is completed. Not every patient is a candidate for this kind of ortho treatment. Our dentist can usually determine you are a candidate for Invisalign.

The above animated picture is showing different movements of the lower teeth. Study models and pictures which are sent to Invisalign are studied and determined if the patient is a good candidate for this procedure. The cost is usually less than regular ortho treatment and most of the time It takes less time to move the teeth.

Invisalign is comfortable to wear and it doesn't require you to change your busy lifestyle. You will visit your dentist every month or two to check your progression and get a new retainer. Average treatment time is only about a year. Because retainers are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods while brushing and flossing normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Our dentist can determine the cost for your specific treatment. It depends on the kind of treatment you need, how long it takes, and even where you live. Invisalign treatment is often similar to the cost of traditional orthodontics or less. If you have ortho coverage on your dental insurance, Invisalign is normally covered to the same extent as conventional braces. We offer affordable monthly payment plans. Be sure to inquire about your options with our dentists.
