Common Questions About Orthodontics
How much will orthodontics cost?
As each patient is unique, the cost for orthodontic care can vary. It is not possible to give you an estimate on your orthodontic treatment until we've first performed an exam on your mouth and worked up treatment options for you. Then we can make sure you have all the information you need, including cost, to decide on the treatment that's right for you.
How does Invisalign work?
Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets, bands, and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. You simply slide the aligners over your teeth and wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. You can freely remove your aligners for eating, brushing, or a special occasion, so long as you put them back in when you're done.
Are orthodontics worth it?
Our patients certainly believe that orthodontic treatment is worth it. We've treated many patients who have been unhappy with their smiles for years because of gaps, crooked teeth, and other orthodontic issues. Orthodontic care not only improves the appearance of your smile, it often improves its function too by moving teeth into proper alignment.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The average Invisalign treatment time for adults is about one year, though the exact timeline depends on the complexity of your case. You wear each set of aligners for two weeks before moving to the next set. Regular checkups allow your dentist to monitor your progress and make sure your teeth are shifting according to the treatment plan.
How long does Six Month Smiles treatment take?
Most Six Month Smiles patients complete treatment in about six months, which is significantly faster than traditional braces. The treatment focuses specifically on the teeth visible when you smile rather than making complex bite corrections. This what allows it to deliver results in the shorter timeframe.
Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?
Most adults and adolescents with crooked, crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth are good candidates for Invisalign. It works well for a wide range of alignment concerns. Severe bite issues or complex orthodontic cases may require a different approach.
Can I eat normally with Invisalign aligners?
You can eat normally during Invisalign treatment. One of the biggest advantages of the aligners is that they are removable. You take them out before eating and drinking anything other than water, so there are no food restrictions during treatment. After eating, simply brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in. This makes maintaining good oral hygiene much easier than with fixed braces.
How often do I need to come in for orthodontic appointments?
Both Invisalign therapy and Six Month Smiles require fewer office visits than traditional braces. Invisalign checkups are typically scheduled every six to eight weeks to monitor progress and provide new aligner sets. Six Month Smiles appointments are brief and spaced out throughout the treatment period. Fewer visits make both options significantly more convenient for patients with busy schedules.
