Invisalign Clear Aligners – Abington, MA

Have you ever wished you had straighter teeth? If so, you have probably contemplated the idea of getting traditional metal braces. But did you know that many people are eligible for an alternative treatment? Invisalign clear aligners provide a discreet and easy way for Abington patients to correct dental misalignment! Continue reading below to discover some important details about this remarkable cosmetic option, and then get in touch with us when you are ready to request a consultation.

How Invisalign Works

If you are a candidate for Invisalign, our team will take detailed impressions of your teeth. Those impressions will get sent to the Invisalign company, which will then fabricate a series of custom aligner trays.

You will wear each set of aligners for 20 – 22 hours each day for around two weeks or so before you move on to new aligners. As you gradually work your way through all of your Invisalign trays, your teeth will shift into their ideal positions. Periodically throughout your treatment (every 4 – 8 weeks or so), you should visit us so we can monitor your progress.

Indications for Invisalign

Invisalign is an excellent way to correct many cases of mild to moderate dental misalignment. Here are a few examples of issues that it can usually be used to address:

Crowded Teeth

Teeth that are crowded and overlapping can trap food between them, putting them at an increased risk of decay. Gum disease and bad breath may also occur. Invisalign trays can gradually shift such teeth so they function optimally.

Gaps Between Teeth

Large gaps between your teeth can leave your gums vulnerable to harm and interfere with your bite. Your facial aesthetics may also be negatively affected. Invisalign may be able to move your teeth closer together, leading to enhanced function and an improved appearance.

Bite Alignment

Issues like overbite, underbite, and crossbite can lead to a range of oral health complications. Invisalign, along with appropriate accessories, can often correct bite problems.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Some of the top benefits of Invisalign include:

• The average treatment time is just 12 months.
• Because the aligners are removable, there are no dietary restrictions. You can continue to enjoy all of your favorite snacks and meals!
• The removable nature of the aligners allows for easy and convenient oral hygiene.
• Check-in visits are brief. They usually last just 15 minutes or so.
• The smooth plastic of the aligner trays is designed to rest comfortably against soft oral tissues.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The cost of Invisalign varies from case to case. It depends on how many aligners you need and other factors. During your consultation, we can discuss the financial details of your case, including the estimated total cost of care and your payment options. We are happy to file insurance claims for our patients, and most people are eligible for convenient monthly installment plans. You might be surprised by how easy it is to afford a straighter, more confident smile!
