Beautiful Straight Teeth Without Metal Braces

Ideal for teenagers and adults, Invisalign clear aligners are made with SmartTrack® to gently shift your teeth in place. The aligners are removable, so you can eat what you like and brush and floss your teeth with ease. Invisalign aligners are comfortable without the discomfort of metal wires and brackets.

How Invisalign Works

We’ll evaluate your teeth and jaw with 3D imaging to start. Your Invisalign aligners are custom made for your mouth. You’ll receive a series of aligners designed to shift your teeth as needed. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, brush or floss. As you move through the aligners from week to week, your teeth will gradually shift into the desired position.

You’ll visit the Gentle Dentist every six weeks to evaluate your progress. Total treatment time typically lasts nine to 15 months, and the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both numbers will vary from case to case.

Invisalign For Teens

We know teenagers can be self conscious. Invisalign aligners are clear, durable and removable. You can participate in sports without wearing a bulky mouth guard. You can also remove the aligners for class pictures and other special occasions.

Invisalign Costs

Your cost will vary depending on the treatment plan and length of treatment. Some dental insurance companies cover Invisalign under orthodontics benefits. We will work with your insurance company to see if they cover Invisalign. We also offer affordable payment plans with low monthly payments.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is a groundbreaking approach in orthodontics, offering a less conspicuous, flexible, and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. Here are some of the key benefits that make Invisalign a popular choice for those seeking orthodontics Collegeville patients trust:

1. Aesthetically Pleasing: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, which means most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. This makes Invisalign an ideal option for adults and teens who are self-conscious about the appearance of braces.
2. Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This allows you to maintain better oral hygiene during treatment, as there are no brackets or wires to contend with.
3. Comfort: Invisalign trays are made from smooth plastic and are custom-fitted to your teeth, reducing irritation and discomfort often associated with the brackets and wires of traditional braces.
4. Predictable Results: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, Invisalign allows you to preview the final outcome of your treatment before it even begins, providing a clear picture of what your smile will look like once treatment is complete.
5. Efficiency: For many patients, treatment with Invisalign can be completed in as little as 12 to 18 months, though treatment times vary depending on individual needs, and usually with fewer office visits.

How to Take Care of the Aligners

Maintaining your Invisalign aligners is crucial for ensuring they function effectively and remain discreet. Here’s how you can take care of your aligners:

• Clean Regularly: Clean your aligners daily. Rinse them under lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, mild soap. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the plastic.
• Soaking: Use the Invisalign cleaning system or soak the aligners in denture cleaner or a mild clear retainer solution to keep them clear and free from harmful bacteria.
• Rinse Before Reinserting: Always rinse the aligners with water before putting them back in your mouth after meals to avoid trapping harmful particles between your teeth and the aligner.
• Avoid Certain Foods and Drinks: While you can eat and drink whatever you like during the treatment (by removing the aligners), avoid exposing your aligners to foods and drinks that are hot, highly colored, or sugary, as these can stain or damage the aligners.
• Store Properly: When not in use, store your aligners in the protective case provided. This will help protect them from damage and contamination.
