What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a pioneering clear aligner system that can give you straighter teeth without the traditional metal braces. Custom-made to fit your teeth, these virtually invisible aligners utilize gradual movement to progressively correct your dental alignment.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is designed to exert gentle pressure on your teeth as you wear your aligners. Over time, this pressure changes the position of your teeth, guiding them into their optimal position to remedy bite issues, crooked teeth, and more. Each new set of aligners moves your teeth a little closer to where we want them. As you continue your treatment, you will gradually see your new, perfectly-straight smile begin to take shape!

Invisalign Before and After

One of the most rewarding parts of our work at Blue Line Dental is witnessing our patients’ amazing journeys and remarkable transformations. Every smile that evolves from pre-Invisalign to post-Invisalign highlights this cutting-edge treatment’s unforgettable impact on an individual’s bite function, beaming smile, and confidence.

Why Choose Invisalign?

Invisalign presents a modern alternative to braces, utilizing clear aligners for a virtually invisible treatment. More than just a cosmetic dentistry solution, Invisalign can also improve oral health by aligning your teeth perfectly—adding up to a healthier, more confident you.

The Benefits of Invisalign Treatment: Invisalign vs Braces

Invisalign challenges the old idea of braces being intrusive and uncomfortable. The Invisalign treatment shines through with:

• Cosmetic appeal: Clear aligners offer a discreet alternative promoting confidence and charm.
• Comfort: Each aligner, custom-made to fit your dental structure, ensures comfort throughout your alignment journey. Invisalign is smooth, and the clear aligners won’t cut or rub against your gums and the inside of your cheeks. 
• Flexibility: Easy removal makes eating, brushing, and flossing straightforward, enhancing your day-to-day life.
• Custom care: Your cosmetic dentistry needs are unique, and our team understands that. Through our comprehensive examinations and consultations, we craft an individualized Invisalign treatment plan that suits your needs, ensuring effective and reliable results.
• Speedy treatment time: In most cases, clear aligners will straighten your teeth faster than metal braces. 

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Embarking on the journey to a confident smile means trusting and investing in a process that can improve your daily life and overall well-being. Knowing that it’s a big deal for our patients to go on this journey, we aim for simplicity. Invisalign treatment is complex, but that doesn’t mean you have to have a complex experience! From your initial consultation to your regular check-ins to creating your custom retainers, our personalized approach ensures that your experience is comprehensive and centered on you. 

Every Invisalign treatment is totally custom, so every person’s experience will be a little different, but here’s a closer look at the four main steps you can expect:

• Initial consultation: We evaluate your teeth, listen to your treatment goals, and discuss treatment options.
• Custom treatment plan: We employ leading-edge technology, including an extraordinarily detailed scan, to create your personalized Invisalign treatment plan.
• Begin treatment with aligners: We design your clear aligners with Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack material, and you’ll receive a new set every couple of weeks for incremental adjustments.
• Regular check-ins: We monitor your progress with regular check-ins and timely support, so you’re never alone in your Invisalign journey.

Cost of Invisalign

You’re in! But how much does Invisalign cost? Invisalign’s cost can vary based on a few factors, but investing in your dental health and self-confidence is priceless. Our team is dedicated to providing a detailed cost breakdown and exploring payment options to make the investment a manageable one. Pricing for Invisalign ranges from about $4500 to $8000, depending upon case complexity and necessary treatment time.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

The average treatment time for Invisalign is about a year. However, the time your treatment will take depends entirely on your specific needs. Completing your Invisalign treatment in as little as six months is possible for very minor cases. For more severe orthodontic problems, it may be necessary to wear Invisalign aligners for 12-18 months or even longer. 

There are a few things you can do to help ensure a speedier Invisalign treatment time: 

• Compliance: Be sure to wear your aligners for enough time each day. You must wear your aligners for at least 20 (preferably 22) hours daily for the best possible results. 
• Diligence: Be diligent about switching to a new set of aligners whenever instructed. Changing your aligners as directed ensures that your teeth keep moving on schedule.
• Showing up: Attend all of your check-in appointments. This way, if your teeth aren’t moving as expected, we can initiate a refinement ASAP.
• Use chewies? Ask us if Chewies are a good option for you. They’re small, rubber-like pieces made for Invisalign patients to chew on to accelerate orthodontic movement.
