Dr. Mariana Conant is a dentist and has answered some of the common questions bizymoms visitors have about Invisalign.
Q. What is an invisalign?
A. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that is done by using a series of clear plastic retainers.
Q. How does invisalign work?
A. They are supposed to be worn for a minimum of 20 hours a day and are changed sequentially every two weeks until the teeth are aligned properly.
Q. What are the primary benefits of invisalign?
A. I think Invisalign works best to achieve small movements after an orthodontic treatment due to relapse. Relapses usually happen due to patients not wearing their removable retainers after the regular braces are removed.
Q. How long does invisalign treatment take?
A. It varies widely depending on the case. Studies show that in average it takes between 20 and 32 months, but it could take less or more time depending on the complexity of the case.
Q. How much does invisalign cost?
A. The truth is, only your dentist can determine the cost of your specific treatment. It really depends on the kind of treatment you need. Invisalign treatment is usually similar to the cost of traditional braces. The national average for Invisalign is about $5,000 US dollars.
Q. Who uses invisalign?
A. Anyone who is a candidate can wear Invisalign.
Q. Are there certain dental conditions that automatically exclude someone from being an eligible patient?
A. Invisalign may be good in easy cases but not for the more challenging ones, such as severe crowding of teeth. To see if Invisalign is a good fit for you or not, is really up to your dentist or orthodontist to determine. With clear brace technology you need to understand the products limitations, this is where a dentist can help create an effective treatment plan for you.
