Do You Need Invisalign®?

Everyone loves to smile, but if you're self-conscious about your smile due to an overbite or crooked teeth, you may feel the need to hide your pearly whites. Braces are the obvious solution, but a lot of adults don't want a mouth full of metal. If you're one of these people, Invisalign may be a dream come true!

Invisalign is a discreet aligner custom made to fit your mouth. It's made from plastic instead of metal, and can be taken out before eating or brushing your teeth. This makes Invisalign more convenient than traditional braces, and they do the exact same job of straightening your teeth!

Invisalign can benefit many patients dealing with:

• Gaps between teeth
• Misaligned teeth
• Overbites
• Crowded teeth

Many insurance companies will cover most or all of your Invisalign treatment just like regular braces. You may also be able to use an HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) offered by some employers. If you don't have these options, many dentists such as Dr. Ronald A. Murphyare happy to work out a payment plan that best fits your budget. Speak with our dental staff and your insurance provider to get the most details about your coverage.

A number of Invisalign treatments for teensare currently available. Having braces can be a difficult adjustment for teens, but Invisalign can make the process of straightening your teen's teeth much easier. They don't require a lot of maintenance and even come with a built-in monitor so that your teen knows how long to leave them in their mouth.

You'll see results from Invisalign in about 12-18 months, depending on the alignment issue. A specialist will regularly assess your teeth to make sure your aligners are working properly.
