Sciota, Pennsylvania
Traditional metal braces are a tried-and-true way to straighten teeth that are crooked or misaligned, but bulky metal brackets and wires aren’t for everyone. Older teens and adults may opt out of straightening their teeth because the idea of wearing traditional metal braces isn’t appealing or thought to appear professional.
Fortunately, advancements in dental technology have led to a more discreet way to straighten teeth. Millions of people have enjoyed dramatic changes in their smiles thanks to Invisalign clear aligner therapy. If you’ve been considering Invisalign, our cosmetic dentist in Sciota is sharing the following information today about the popular clear aligner therapy:
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that is ideal for teens and adults. It uses 3D technology to design a complete and customized treatment plan that includes clear, plastic, practically-invisible aligners that completely cover the teeth.
How long will results take?
The length of time it takes for Invisalign to completely transform a smile depends on the severity of the case, but most patients will complete treatment within about a year. Aligner trays must be worn 22 hours a day and are switched out every two weeks for smaller trays that will gently pull teeth into proper position over time. The trays can easily be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water and flossing. Because of the discipline and dedication required to wear the aligners so many hours in a day, Invisalign is best suited for older teens and adults. Not wearing the trays as recommended can stall the treatment time.
How much does Invisalign cost?
Just like your smile, the cost of Invisalign is unique, varying on a case-by-case basis. Schedule a consultation with our Invisalign dentist at Quiet Valley Dental in Sciota. Patients could qualify for interest-free financing through Care Credit, a third-party financing company, to help with the expense of Invisalign.
