Invisalign Aligners: What You Need To Know

Home » Our Blog » Invisalign Aligners: What You Need To Know

When considering treatment with Invisalign there are a few important things to keep in mind. Mill Creek Orthodontics specializes in Invisalign treatment for teens and adults. Patients who pursue treatment with Invisalign see positive results. When you consider any orthodontic treatment it is important that you seek a qualified orthodontist who is familiar with the specifics of the technology. Mill Creek Orthodontics is proud to have Dr. Marcus Niepraschk leading the way. By accurately determining the cause of orthodontic impairments, we are able to treat them in an effective and timely manner. We promote whole health well-being through modern techniques. By walking our patients through what they can expect to encounter during treatment we are able to better collaborate on goals and achievements. Let’s begin,

How Long Will Invisalign Treatment Be?

According to Invisalign’s website, treatment is designed to last anywhere from 12 to 18 months. Invisalign is a great option for patients looking to expedite their orthodontic treatment. Treatment times are always subjective depending on the severity of the issues to be addressed. Other factors may be the number of aligners to be crafted, as well as the patient’s goals. You can see results in just a few weeks. Dr. Nieprashk would love to further elaborate on your own estimated time. Through scanning the teeth, and jaws we are able to more accurately assess the time Invisalign may take you.

Is Invisalign Invasive?

Invisalign is luckily one of the least invasive forms of orthodontic treatment imaginable. What you need to know about Invisalign is that treatment is virtually painless and more subtle than ever. Invisalign was developed over the course of years. Over 8 years of research and development have made a product that truly stands out from the rest.

Invisalign is not only more effective than ever before; it’s faster too. Invisalign is created out of SmartTrack material designed to give you the upper hand in your treatment against common orthodontic scenarios. Your friends may not even notice the aligners, but they sure will notice the progression of your treatment. Invisalign aligners are made to be worn about 22 hours a day. No more, no less. That gives you time to take out your aligners to maintain both them and your teeth. This also gives you additional liberty to eat whatever you want during this time. As long as you follow good oral hygiene, Invisalign aligners are not invasive in any way. Invisalign gently guides teeth into their correct places

Is Invisalign Affordable?

The short answer is yes. Payment plans, insurance, and quality orthodontics make all the difference in affordability. When you come to Mill Creek Orthodontics we give all of our patient’s great ways to pay for their care that makes Invisalign affordable for everyone. Start your Invisalign treatment earlier to pay even less. Invisalign is well suited for both teens and adults. You can get Invisalign from $179 per month at our practice.

Why Start Now?

Treatment is effective, affordable, and comfortable. Invisalign is a great treatment suited to those who are seeking great flexibility via modern care. Mill Creek Orthodontics is proud to offer outstanding care to each of our patients. When you schedule your appointment you will learn more about the great benefits of Invisalign. No time is a bad time to improve the health of your mouth. Straighter teeth lead to a multitude of benefits for the entire body.
