Invisalign – Upper Arlington, OH

How Invisalign Works

If you're ready to make the most of your smile, the first step is talking with Dr. Courtney about Invisalign clear aligners. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your smile goals, and provide a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and bite to determine if you’re a candidate for Invisalign. If you are, then a 3D image is then rendered, which we will use to map out your personalized treatment plan and show you a virtual photo of how your teeth will look after. Your Invisalign clear aligners will then be fabricated through an authorized lab.

Once your orthodontic treatment officially begins, you’ll need to wear each aligner in the series as directed by Dr. Courtney, which is approximately two weeks. After 14 days, you’ll move onto the next aligner in the series. This process will repeat until your teeth have moved into their properly aligned positions, which is usually between 12 and 18 months.

Who Invisalign Can Help

Patients often assume that Invisalign is so popular because it’s significantly more discreet than traditional braces. While that’s certainly true, it’s also remained a sought-after orthodontic treatment because it’s versatile! Over the years, it’s helped patients with the following:

Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth are quite common, and they can lead to everything from low self-esteem to an increased risk of tooth decay. So, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with Dr. Courtney to discuss your treatment options, like Invisalign! With the clear aligners, we can guide your teeth into their properly aligned positions without drawing unwanted attention to your smile with metal brackets and wires.

Gaps Between Teeth

What if your teeth are spaced out? Whether there are several small spaces throughout your smile or one large gap between your two front teeth, the next step is the same: schedule a consultation with our Upper Arlington dental team! There’s a good chance that you’re a candidate for Invisalign, which means the road to your dream smile will be metal-free.

Bite Alignment

Do your upper teeth protrude beyond your lower ones? Maybe the opposite is true: your lower teeth sit in front of your upper ones. Either way, you should take a look at your treatment options before you’re dealing with chronic jaw pain, premature wear and tear, and other common consequences of misaligned bites.

The Benefits of Invisalign

More than 18 million patients have chosen Invisalign because:

• The aligners are discreet – As a result, you won’t have to wait until the end of your orthodontic treatment to smile confidently.
• No soft tissue irritation – Since the aligners are crafted from smooth, low-profile plastic, you won’t have to deal with sores or abrasions.
• There aren’t any dietary restrictions – The aligners are removable, so you don’t have to alter your diet during your teeth-straightening journey.
• Shorter average treatment timeline – Invisalign treatment usually takes between 12 and 18 months, which is less time than traditional braces.
• Brushing and flossing are easy – Another perk of removable aligners is that they make completing your oral hygiene regimen a breeze!

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The cost of your Invisalign treatment will be determined at your consultation with Dr. Courtney. After all, there are several factors unique to you that will play a role in the price, including how many aligners are needed to straighten your teeth. With all of that said, we will review the financial solutions we welcome as well to ensure navigating the cost isn’t stressful or difficult.
