Invisalign® aligners are a clear alternative to traditional braces. Free from wires and brackets, this revolutionary cosmetic dentistry option can help you obtain a much straighter smile by addressing misalignment, gaps, crowding, and similar concerns.
Our Austin dentists have used Invisalign® to transform the smiles of countless patients. Contact us today to schedule your initial Invisalign® consultation at Austin Dental Spa!
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign®?
Invisalign® can offer benefits such as:
- Correction of misalignment, crowding, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and more*
- Improved aesthetics (in that they are virtually invisible)
- A comfortable and precise fit
- Removability for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Limited maintenance
- Generally a quicker timeline than metal braces
For this reason, Invisalign® aligners are widely preferred over their traditional metal counterparts. With this in mind, Invisalign® is not recommended for everyone, and your ideal treatment will depend on your unique oral health needs.
What Does the Invisalign® Process Entail?
Your dentist will perform a thorough examination and go over all the details about the Invisalign® process before the two of you decide to move forward with the Invisalign® procedure. Once Invisalign® is determined to be the best choice, we will use state-of-the-art digital imaging technology to plan your Invisalign® experience. Not only can advanced 3D imaging create a precise impression of your teeth to use as a blueprint for your aligners, but it can map out the entire process – and even present potential previews of your results!*
Over the next 5 to 10 months, you’ll be instructed to visit our office every few weeks to keep track of your progress. During each appointment, your dentist will ensure that your aligners are comfortable and working as intended. When it’s time for the aligners to be removed, your dentist will give you a customized retainer to keep the effects of treatment in place for years to come.
How Can I Care for My Invisalign® Aligners?
Maintaining your Invisalign® aligners is typically straightforward. Your dentist will advise you to rinse them gently with lukewarm water after every meal; you can also use small amounts of toothpaste, but this is not required. Be sure to store your aligners in their protective case when not in use in order to avoid damage and contamination. For best results, always strive to keep your aligners dry and clean.
How Much Does Invisalign® Cost?
At Austin Dental Spa, pricing for Invisalign® is contingent upon treatment length, insurance coverage, and a variety of other factors. Please be aware that Invisalign® is covered by many insurance plans, but not all of them. In the interest of making your payment process as simple and stress-free as possible, Austin Dental Spa accepts several dental insurances, and we’d be happy to communicate with your plan or otherwise help you navigate your benefits. We also offer eligible patients the chance to finance their treatment through CareCredit®, a reputable third-party dental financing company.
