Invisalign FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Q. How does Invisalign work?
A. Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign translates our instructions into a series of nearly undetectable Aligners. You wear each set of Aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth gradually week by week, millimeter by millimeter until you've achieved the desired result.

Q. Is Invisalign effective?
A. Thousands of doctors are treating patients with Invisalign. It works for a wide range of people whose teeth are too crowded or have spaces between them, as well as for those teeth may have shifted after having worn braces in their youth.

Q. How often will I have to wear my Aligners?
A. Invisalign only works while you're wearing the Aligners. It's recommended that you wear your Aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush and floss your teeth - or as directed by your dentist.

Q. How long does Invisalign take?
A. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, which determines the number of Aligners you need. However, the average is about 12 months. Once we determine whether you are an Invisalign candidate then we can determine the length of your treatment.

Q. How much does Invisalign cost?
A. As with traditional braces, the cost will be based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. You can expect the fee to be between $3500 to $6000 depending on your particular situation. Also, if your dental insurance plan pays a benefit for traditional braces, it will typically provide a benefit for Invisalign to the same extent.

Q. Can anyone use Invisalign?
A. Nearly everyone who needs straighter teeth can be treated with Invisalign alone or as part of a combined treatment plan for adults and mature teens.
