Invisalign^® is a custom-made set of virtually clear plastic aligners that are comfortable and invisible compared to traditional braces. If you want to straighten your teeth, Invisalign^® is your best choice as a teeth-straightening treatment. Invisalign^® aligners are often called ‘invisible braces.’

The Invisalign^® treatment is the most recommended teeth-straightening treatment for older teenagers and adults, from simple to elaborate issues. Patients who can wear the Invisalign^® aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day are the most suitable for this treatment.

After the initial consultation, Rabbit Hill Family Dentistry will approximate your cost as it varies depending on the individual’s case complexity.

Custom aligners are created after taking a mould of your teeth. Your doctor can use it to make a digital scan, or your teeth can be directly scanned. Then, the scans are used to create your custom aligners. Aligners are shaped to apply pressure in the right places to shift the alignment of the teeth. Based on your orthodontist’s recommendation, your aligners might need to be changed every one or two weeks to support the occurring transformation.

It may take a day or two for your mouth to get used to the feel of the Invisalign® aligners. The discomfort depends on person to person and is a temporary effect. Though it is recommended to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours per day for best outcomes, the aligners may remove them for special occasions. However, removing the aligners for smoking or tobacco use is not recommended. The aligner trays may become impacted and can lead to issues in the overall wellness of your mouth and other organs.
