Most people with minor dental imperfections are ideal candidates for Invisalign. Clear aligners can be used to treat a wide variety of dental problems, including:
Invisalign is generally suited to minor to moderate orthodontic concerns. It may not be appropriate for severe misalignment or complex bite issues, in which case your practitioner may recommend alternative orthodontic treatment. A clinical assessment is needed to determine suitability.
Invisalign treatment involves using clear aligners to move your teeth into a planned position. It is an alternative to traditional braces, with a clear design that makes it less noticeable. Invisalign is used for minor to moderate orthodontic issues, moving teeth into a planned position and addressing certain bite concerns. Results vary from person to person.
Invisalign uses clear aligners that apply gentle pressure to your teeth, moving them gradually into a planned position. Every two weeks, the aligners are changed to continue guiding the teeth as they move. Once treatment is complete, you will wear a retainer at night to maintain the new position of your teeth.
Invisalign at our clinic costs from $3,500 to $8,500, depending on the type of treatment and the complexity of your case:*
A consultation is needed to confirm which treatment type is appropriate and to provide an accurate cost.
*Additional costs may apply. The final cost depends on your individual treatment plan.
Invisalign treatments can take six months to three years, depending on the severity of your case. For some minor alignment issues, you can see results in as little as three months, but most patients will wear their aligners for several months. During your consultation, we aim to provide an estimated timeframe and updates at every checkup, so you know how long you have left.
Your aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day, and should only be removed to eat and drink. The goal is to keep your aligners in for most of the day so that they can gradually push your teeth into their new location. Aligners should only be removed when drinking something other than water or eating. After eating and drinking, you should brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in to keep them free from any food pieces or potential bacteria.
Some patients experience discomfort during Invisalign treatment, commonly described as pressure on the teeth as the aligners guide them into a new position. Tenderness or sensitivity may also occur, particularly after switching to a new aligner. This typically subsides over time. If you experience sudden or severe pain, contact your practitioner.
Invisalign cannot address all orthodontic problems. It is typically used for minor to moderate concerns, including crooked teeth, crowded teeth, overbite, crossbite, open bite, gap teeth, and underbite. If your bite issues are severe, other orthodontic treatments may be recommended. To determine if Invisalign is appropriate for your orthodontic concerns, book a consultation with one of our registered dental practitioners.
Invisalign attachments are small bumps placed on your teeth as part of your treatment. These SmartForce attachments are custom-made to fit your teeth and help guide them into the planned position. The attachments connect to your clear aligners and provide additional force to assist with tooth movement. Not all patients require attachments. Your practitioner will discuss whether they are necessary at your consultation.
You need to contact your dentist immediately if you lose your Invisalign aligner, as they can help you with a replacement. While you wait for your alignment, you can wear the aligner you wore just before switching to the new aligner, although this might be a little uncomfortable. You will need to wear an aligner, though, as missing a few days can hinder your progress. We recommend contacting us immediately if you misplace one of your clear aligners.
Yes, you need retainers after Invisalign. After your treatment, you must wear retainers at night to prevent your teeth from reverting to their original position. Your dentist will provide these retainers as part of your Invisalign treatment, and they must be worn every night and cared for properly to maintain good oral hygiene. We have a detailed guide on cleaning your Invisalign retainers and trays for you to check out.
Typically, Medicare does not cover Invisalign unless you have an Advantage plan. The Advantage plan must include dental benefits to claim Invisalign treatment. You might also qualify for Invisalign on Medicare if the treatment is deemed medically necessary. You will need to check your Medicare cover and speak to one of our dentists to see if your treatment is deemed medically necessary or not.
