Invisalign treatment involves wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets, wires, or dietary restrictions.
It is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. There are no brackets, wires or restrictions that come with metal braces.
Invisalign is a great option for both teens and adults seeking a virtually invisible way to improve their smile. Invisalign's advancements allow us to address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, from simple to complex.
Invisalign® is much more than a pretty smile. Crowded teeth are more difficult to clean causing build-up of plaque that causes gingivitis, and may lead to bone loss and periodontal disease.
Invisalign® aligns teeth, improves periodontal hygiene, results in easier teeth cleanings and is non-invasive.
Treatment typically takes 6-24 months, with regular check-ins with your dentist to monitor progress. You'll wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, and you can remove them for eating, brushing, and flossing.
You may experience some mild discomfort during the first day of wearing a new aligner set. This is normal and typically subsides within a day or two.
The first step is a consultation with your dentist.
If we determine Invisalign® is a good option for you, we take custom impressions, x-rays and photographic images of your teeth. Invisalign® uses these impressions and pictures to create a 3-D image of them, which your dentist and Invisalign® use to map out a precise progress plan.
This plan is used to create a completely custom set of liners, changed every two weeks.

Most dental insurance covers at least a portion of Invisalign® treatment. Because each patient receives their own customized aligners, the cost can vary significantly.
Staff members at Klooster Family Dentistry will discuss the costs of your treatment before it begins, to ensure you have the knowledge you need to make this life-improving decision.
