What is Invisalign® and How Does it Work?
Everything You Need to Know About Invisalign in Warrenton, VA
Invisalign is a newer method of straightening out a patient's teeth. It is a method that has grown in popularity and is now widely used across the globe. This is because it uses clear, plastic aligners instead of the traditional braces that have uncomfortable metal wires, brackets, and bands. These clear aligners are custom made to fit a patient's teeth and slowly shift them over the span of a few months or years. At Warrenton Dental Center, we have used Invisalign on a number of happy patients who have achieved great results.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign involves a set of high-grade plastic aligners that patients are advised to wear for about 22 hours out of the day. These aligners are worn during all activities besides eating, and once a patient is done eating, they are expected to brush their teeth and then put the aligners back in. Every 1-2 weeks a patient is given their new set of custom-aligners, which will slowly help the shift of their teeth. This entire process can last a few months or a few years, depending on the patient, their dedication, and the complexity of the case. This means a patient can have anywhere from 20-50 aligners spread out throughout the entire process.
The Advantages Of Invisalign
When discussing Invisalign, there is not just one singular, shining benefit to this service. In fact, Invisalign has a number of great advantages, especially when compared to traditional braces. The most notable advantages to these clear aligners include:
How Does Invisalign Work?
You will receive your new Invisalign aligners every 1-2 weeks. Each time you get a new set of aligners, they will be slightly different from the last set. As you progress further into your treatment plan, these aligners will shift your teeth more and more. The reason for such small adjustments is so that we are continually moving your teeth towards the goal of being straight, but doing it in a way so that it is comfortable for you.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Most Invisalign aligners will cost a patient anywhere from $3,000-$5,000. This number is dependent on how complex your dental issues were before starting Invisalign, how many aligners you will need, etc. Fortunately, some dental insurance carriers will cover some of these costs.
