Treatment time

There are a few options you can choose from for the best treatment time for you and your schedule. Overall, a typical Invisalign case takes about a year from start to finish. You’ll see your doctor every month or two to see how you’re progressing. Every few visits you’ll be given additional aligners to continue your treatment. Commonly, the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but treatment time and number of aligners will vary from case to case.

You can also select our expedited treatment plan that straightens your teeth in roughly six months. Our practice uses Propel orthodontic technology to stimulate bone remodeling, which allows your teeth to move faster and more predictably into their ideal position. Propel orthodontic technology provides innovative devices and procedures helps move teeth 50% faster than teeth can move with Invisalign alone.

Look your best during treatment

Invisalign is clear and practically invisible, so nothing gets in the way of your new smile. No wonder Invisalign is the choice of over half a million people.

• Unobtrusive in business meetings or social gatherings

• No metal wires or bands to irritate your mouth

• Most people won’t notice you’re wearing aligners

How does Invisalign work?

You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions. You'll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages six to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 10 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

How much does it cost?

You are your best investment. It's true. No matter what you've believed in the past, a confident, radiant smile can be within reach. And if you think about it, improving your smile is an important investment, because you're doing it for yourself. There are many factors that determine the cost of your Invisalign treatment: how extensive the issues are that you want corrected, how long your treatment plan will last, and the specific treatment details prescribed by the doctor. Your dental plan may also cover a portion of your orthodontic treatment

Will it fit my lifestyle?

Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal or wires, which also usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign treatment also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

• Time for a snack? No problem. Take out your aligners to eat or drink whenever you want.

• You can remove your Invisalign aligners, so you can brush and floss regularly, and keep your teeth and gums healthy.

• You can occasionally remove your Invisalign aligners and enjoy a special night out.

• There's no need to change a thing. Continue your day-to-day activities while still straightening your teeth.

• Be yourself with Invisalign aligners. Since they are clear, you don't have to hide your smile while going through treatment.

• With Invisalign treatment, it's easy to make your smile picture perfect for that special occasion.

• Invisalign appointments work with your schedule. Most visits are in and out, with a quick progress check once every six weeks.
