Sciota, Pennsylvania
Achieving your dream smile may be easier than you think. Many people long for straight teeth that look like the smiles they see Instagram influencers flashing in their reels and posts. Whether you’ve simply put off treating yourself or you aren’t sure which orthodontic option is right for you, our Sciota dentists at Quiet Valley Dental share their compelling case for choosing Invisalign treatment to straighten your teeth.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the clear choice for orthodontics. The process begins with a consultation to determine your treatment needs, cost, and how long it may take to achieve your results. Then, we take digital scans of the inside of your mouth and of your teeth. These scans are sent to a dental lab that custom designs your clear aligners. A couple of weeks later you return to our office to pick up your first set of aligners.
The aligners fit directly over your teeth and are designed to apply gentle pressure to slowly shift your teeth into proper alignment, just like metal braces. You wear each set of aligners for several weeks, and then switch to a new set. Each set applies pressure a little bit differently than the previous set, so that by the end of your treatment, your teeth are perfectly aligned.
How do I wear Invisalign aligners?
Wearing Invisalign is easy and comfortable. There are no rough edges or wires that may poke your cheeks, lips, or tongue, which is a common complaint from people who wear traditional metal braces. You should wear your aligners at all times and only remove them when you eat, drink anything other than water, or brush and floss your teeth. Furthermore, you won’t have to deal with any diet restrictions since you remove your aligners every time you eat. Aim to wear your aligners at least 22 hours a day. However, you can remove your aligners for special occasions like when photographs will be taken, going out on a date or for a job interview. Just be sure to always store your aligners in the protective case provided to you so that you do not lose or break them.
Does dental insurance help cover the cost of Invisalign?
Insurance coverage for Invisalign treatment is case by case. We would need to verify your benefits before saying for sure, but we find that many dental insurance plans that offer orthodontic coverage allow patients to use those benefits toward the cost of Invisalign. Additionally, since the treatment length of Invisalign being shorter than traditional braces in some cases, you may find that Invisalign is a more affordable option of straightening your teeth.
