Do you need to straighten out your crooked teeth, but don't want to use braces? Invisalign is the newest method to aligning teeth in a more inconspicuous, less invasive way. It involves the utilization of clear, plastic aligners that are custom-made to fit the patient's teeth. The patient then receives a new pair of aligners every 1-2 weeks, which they are expected to wear for 22 hours a day until the next pair comes in. Over time, your teeth will begin to shift towards the goal. At Warrenton Dental Center, we have used Invisalign on a number of patients with alignment problems, and continue to see astounding results to this day.

Your Guide To Invisalign

Traditional braces are still one of the most common methods used to align teeth. However, there's a new service in town that can do the same job. Invisalign is a dental intervention that aligns teeth, but does so in a way that's a little different than the traditional braces route. It involves wearing clear aligners 22 hours a day, instead of having to get brackets and wires. While it can only help patients with mild to moderate bite issues, it is a great method for people who do not want their lifestyle or diet to change at all.

Your Invisalign Treatment Plan

Before deciding on a dental intervention, it can be helpful to know and understand the entire process. Invisalign is no exception to this. If you are considering Invisalign, consider the following standard plan first, and make sure that you are comfortable with the overall treatment method:

Invisalign Cost

Invisalign treatment can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000. This cost depends on factors like the condition of your teeth before Invisalign, how long you must be on Invisalign, how many aligners you need, if you get aligners every 1 or every 2 weeks, etc. Fortunately, may dental companies do cover part of the Invisalign cost.

Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners

Despite the fact that a set of aligners are only in your possession for about 1-2 weeks before the next set comes in, care should still be one of your top priorities. If you do not care for your aligners, you can damage them before the next set comes in and elongate the amount of time it takes for the entire process. To care for your aligners, follow the tips below:
