Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is suitable for people of all ages, including children, teenagers, and adults, whether they’ve had braces before or not. Invisalign aligners offer a discreet and comfortable solution for anyone looking to straighten their teeth, especially those dealing with misaligned bites or overcrowded teeth. The best way to determine if Invisalign is right for you is by scheduling a free exam with Dr. Veeranki. She will review your dental history and provide you with more information on treatment options.
How Will Invisalign Affect My Lifestyle?
One of the great things about Invisalign is its minimal impact on your daily routine. Unlike traditional braces, there are no dietary restrictions with Invisalign since the aligners are removable. You can take them out for special events, physical activities, or when playing musical instruments. You can also continue with your usual dental hygiene regimen by brushing and flossing as normal. Invisalign’s flexibility allows you to maintain your lifestyle while working toward a straighter smile.
Is Invisalign Painful?
Some people may experience slight discomfort during the initial stages of Invisalign treatment as their teeth and gums adjust to the new aligners. This discomfort is typically temporary and fades within a few days of wearing the aligners. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort, which is one of the reasons Invisalign is so popular among those seeking a comfortable orthodontic treatment.
How Do I Care for My Aligners?
Caring for your Invisalign aligners is simple. You should gently brush them under lukewarm water using a soft toothbrush to remove any plaque or bacteria. Avoid using hot water or abrasive cleaners, as they can cause warping or discoloration. It’s also important to remove the aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, as food and drinks can get trapped in the aligners. By following Dr. Veeranki’s care instructions and maintaining good oral hygiene, you’ll achieve the best results with your aligners.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment typically ranges between $3,000 and $7,000, depending on factors such as the complexity of your treatment and your insurance coverage. During your free exam, Dr. Veeranki will provide a detailed breakdown of the fees and payment options available to you. Our office offers flexible payment plans to make Invisalign accessible for all patients.
