Want Straighter teeth?
At Hunsaker Dental, we believe in giving you as many options as possible so that you will always find a treatment option that works for you. When it comes to teeth alignment, we don’t think anyone should have to choose braces when a much better option exists!
With Invisalign, we offer our patients a way to straighten their teeth with less hassle and less metal. When you decide to go with Invisalign, no one will be able to tell that you are straightening your teeth – they will only notice the results.
WHAT IS INVISALIGN®?
Invisalign is a teeth alignment system that doesn’t require you to wear metal brackets or wires. Instead, it uses a series of clear plastic trays that you wear over your teeth. The trays gently coax your teeth into place, and as your teeth move, you will graduate to a new set of trays that will guide your teeth further into place.
Over 2.5 million people worldwide have used the Invisalign system! Invisalign can treat a wide variety of alignment issues, so schedule your free consultation today.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Invisalign is beneficial because it can straighten your teeth and correct your bite without requiring you to attach metal brackets and wires to your teeth, which can be painful and uncomfortable. Invisalign allows you to easily floss and brush your teeth because you can remove it.
- Healthier gums – less likely to have pockets between the gums and teeth that can store bacteria.
- Improved hygiene – properly aligned teeth reduce plaque retention and tooth decay.
- Less wear on your teeth – reduce the risk of tooth chipping and breaking.
What can Invisalign® Correct?
Invisalign can fix a lot of teeth alignment issues. A few cases of malocclusion (abnormal tooth alignment) are:
- Crowding – symptoms of crowding can be biting lips, cheeks, or tongue. Changes in speech, bad breath, difficulty cleaning your teeth, and wear on your teeth.
- Gapped teeth – Bad breath, lisping, and cheek and lip biting.
- Overbite – Overbite or deep bite can cause receding gums, sensitivity to cold, jaw pain, and headaches.
- Excessive overjet – Dry mouth, mouth breathing, and the wearing of your teeth.
Invisalign® Vs. Traditional Braces
Invisalign offers a superior way to straighten teeth. Let’s compare some of the areas where Invisalign provides better treatment than braces.
Applying Invisalign is easier than braces. With braces, you have to find an orthodontist, wait through hours of them placing big metal brackets on your teeth, feeding the wire through the brackets, and placing bands on every single bracket. Invisalign eliminates all of these time-consuming steps.
Cleaning your teeth is easier with Invisalign because it uses clear plastic trays that you can remove to clean your teeth. With braces, you have to take special care to feed floss through every tooth and use special cleaning wands to clean around the brackets.
Braces can be embarrassing when you have a social interaction or family portrait planned. Invisalign offers an elegant solution to this problem. Because it uses clear plastic trays, no one will ever be able to tell that you are straightening your teeth.
Overall, Invisalign provides a more convenient, discreet, and effective way to straighten teeth compared to traditional braces.
HOW LONG DOES INVISALIGN® TAKE?
Invisalign even offers faster treatment than braces can provide. The treatment time depends entirely on the issue and the severity of the case. With braces, you must come in, sit down, and have your orthodontist adjust the braces. This is not necessary with Invisalign.
Braces can take as long as years to get the results you want, whereas Invisalign can get you the results you desire in months. Every case is different, but at Hunsaker Dental, the average time for Invisalign treatment is 3 to 12 months.
What is The cost of Invisalign®?
How much does Invisalign cost is a question that many people have? The good news is that Invisalign is very affordable. Depending on your plan, a portion of the cost of Invisalign can be covered by your insurance. At Hunsaker Dental, we have many financing options and can provide Invisalign for as little as $199 a month.
What to expect from the Invisalign® treatment?
Being fitted for Invisalign is as easy as sitting down and letting us take an impression of your teeth. Using this impression, we will build a customized treatment plan for you using our Invisalign treatment software, which will help us to design and fabricate all of the trays for your treatment. It’s a simple process that we are proud to offer.
HOW are IMPRESSIONS taken?
We use the newest technology to ensure you receive the best possible patient experience. We utilize the Itero Element, a digital scanner, to take 3D images of your teeth. This eliminates the need for dental goo that can cause gagging and discomfort. It also allows us to more accurately see where your teeth are aligned and virtually simulate where we want them to be.
