Invisalign Dentist Scottsdale Arizona

Invisalign is the newly popular and virtually invisible way to straighten teeth without wires using a series of clear, removable aligners trays. You wear each set of clear aligners for about  one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Your teeth will begin to move as you switch each aligner with the next in the schedule. Each aligner little be little will position your teeth as it was prescribed. Total treatment time averages 6-12 months and the average number of aligners  is between 12 and 30.

How does Invisalign work?

An Invisalign trained dentist will utilize 3D computer imaging technology to demonstrate the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position. This imaging technology is then used to design an individualized series of custom-made aligners. The patient wears the aligner for about two weeks while the teeth move incrementally. After two weeks, the current aligner is replaced with the next one until the final position is achieved.

What do aligners look like?

Aligners are clear and nearly invisible. If you've ever seen clear tooth-whitening trays, that should give you a good idea of what the aligners look like. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit and move your teeth.

Will the treatment be painful?

Each time you change to a new aligner, there may be some temporary discomfort while your teeth adjust to their new position. This is completely normal, and is a good sign that the treatment is working.

Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech?

Some people are affected more than others, but most adjust in a short period of time to the feeling of the aligners and do not have permanent changes in their speech.

How often will I have to wear my aligners?

Invisalign only works while you're wearing the aligners. It's recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush, and floss your teeth.

How much does Invisalign cost?

Cost is always a concern, and depends on the length and complexity of your treatment. It is typically in the same range as ordinary metal braces, but we can start most cases from $3,000 and up to $5,500 depending on the requirements of your case.
