How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gently move your teeth into their ideal positions. During your initial visit to our Chelmsford office, we’ll take detailed impressions of your teeth to design your trays. You’ll usually come in to get your first set of aligners three to four weeks later.
Each set is worn for about two weeks for 20 to 22 hours per day before switching to the next one in the series. You’ll also come into our office for regular check-ins to make sure your treatment is on track. This process continues for around 12 to 18 months depending on your treatment plan, and you’ll achieve a perfectly straightened smile!
Who Can Invisalign Help?
One of the exciting aspects of Invisalign is the sheer number of alignment issues it can correct. Thanks to its attachment system and additional accessories such as elastics, it can be adapted to address a wide range of issues, including overcrowding, gapped teeth, and bite misalignment. In preparation for your upcoming consultation, here is a brief breakdown of what kind of improvements Invisalign can make to your smile.
Crowded Teeth
Overlapping or crowded teeth can be gently shifted into alignment with Invisalign to achieve a more uniform, healthier smile. This eliminates food traps and aesthetic issues stemming from overcrowding. It also improves your oral health by helping you clean your teeth effectively to minimize dental decay, cavities, and gum disease.
Gaps Between Teeth
Your clear aligners can also close unwanted spaces between teeth, achieving a balanced, natural appearance. Invisalign gently pulls the teeth closer together, maintaining healthy spacing for regular flossing. You will no longer struggle with trapped food and bacteria that can threaten your oral health, but instead enjoy a more visually beautiful, healthier smile.
Overbite
Does Invisalign fix an overbite? Absolutely. These clear aligners can shift the top row of protruding teeth backward, aligning your bite so that teeth come together as they should. This reduces jaw pain and excessive wear on tooth enamel and decreases your risk of dental damage, which is common with an overbite.
Underbite
An underbite can be brought into alignment with the help of Invisalign clear aligners. Instead of allowing your lower teeth to stick out and further increasing the risk of damage and persistent jaw pain, we can use these clear trays to move the teeth back. If necessary, we can use attachments to aid in moving your teeth, allowing them to come together with your top row smoothly.
Crossbite
Treating a crossbite with Invisalign is possible, thanks to the careful planning of our team at Chelmsford Dental Specialists Group. Using clear aligners to move specific teeth backward can improve your smile’s aesthetics and your oral health. As your teeth move into proper alignment, you’ll enjoy the benefits of a healthier smile.
Open Bite
Addressing your open bite requires pre-planning, as teeth will need to move in stages. With Invisalign, your dentist can craft aligners to shift certain aspects of your smile so that everything eventually moves into its proper place. Instead of leaving your back teeth to touch but your front ones to remain apart, we will close the gap between your upper and lower arches, bringing them closer together for a more functional, healthier smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers multiple benefits that traditional braces just can’t match, like:
- An invisible appearance that keeps your treatment hidden from others.
- Removability allows you to continue eating any foods you want and perform regular oral care.
- Check-ins with Invisalign are much shorter and generally less frequent than with traditional braces.
- Invisalign aligners are made with a patented smooth, clear plastic that won’t irritate your gums, cheeks, or tongue.
At Chelmsford Dental Specialists Group, we love how Invisalign combines advanced technology with patient comfort to deliver incredible results for all ages. Whatever alignment issues you’re dealing with, Invisalign is a fantastic choice for achieving your dream smile!
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The cost of Invisalign varies depending on your treatment plan and the severity of your case, but it’s often comparable to traditional braces. At our Chelmsford dental office, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation. From there, we can discuss all your payment options, including financing plans and insurance coverage to help you fit your treatment into your budget.
We believe that no patient should be denied the smile of their dreams due to their financial situation. So, let us help you create a treatment plan that fits so you can receive the gorgeous grin you deserve.
