If you want to straighten your teeth discretely - without sacrificing your mature image - then Invisalign clear braces may be the right solution for you. Dr. Bouvier offers this state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment to give patients beautiful smiles, comfortably and quickly.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the clear, comfortable, removable alternative to traditional metal braces.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign patients wear a series of clear, acrylic aligners that gently move teeth into their ideal arrangement. Dr. Bouvier will precisely plan your Invisalign treatment from start to finish. Then, a certified Invisalign lab will custom-make your clear braces especially for your unique straightening needs. Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks, and then replaced by the next pair in your series.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
While treatment times vary based on the complexity of each individual's needs, many patients achieve their ideal smile in less than a year. Average treatment time ranges from 6 to 18 months.
How often will I need to visit the dentist's office?
You'll visit our office every six weeks to pick up new aligners and ensure treatment is on track.
How do I eat with Invisalign?
The aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat a meal, brush, and floss.
How long do I wear the aligners?
The aligners are worn all day and all night, except when you take them out to clean them, brush your teeth, and eat.
Does Invisalign treatment hurt?
Invisalign clear braces won't irritate your mouth like traditional metal braces can. When you insert a new set of aligners, you may feel slight pressure that typically goes away in 72 hours.
What are the benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign provides a wealth of benefits, including:
- The aligners are nearly invisible to let you straighten your teeth discretely.
- Because the aligners are removable, you can eat and drink what you want.
- You can brush and floss as normal to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
- The aligners are comfortable because there's no metal to irritate your mouth.
- Treatment time is fast.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
We invite you to attend a complimentary consultation to determine if Invisalign clear braces are right for you. Dr. Bouvier will assess your teeth and discuss your expectations, then help you determine the appropriate straightening method for your unique smile.
How much does Invisalign treatment cost?
The cost is often equivalent to that of traditional braces.
Do you offer payment options?
Yes, Dr. Bouvier has teamed with CareCredit to offer her patients long-term, no- and low-interest payment plans for Invisalign treatment. Other payment options are available, as well. Please give our office a call at 603.692.1112 for details. |
