Suppose you consider orthodontic treatments like braces vs. Invisalign® to straighten your teeth; both get the job done. The decision between metal brackets and wires or clear plastic aligners comes down to your smile goals and convenience level.
While Invisalign® fixes most teeth misalignments, extremely complex orthodontic issues may require metal braces. Our smile assessment in Saint Petersburg, FL will show you what Invisalign® can do for you.
The advantages of Invisalign® include the freedom to be yourself with virtually invisible trays and the convenience of removing them to eat and brush. Maintenance is much easier with removable aligners, making dental hygiene a breeze.
Unlike braces, clear aligners don’t adhere to teeth, so they require discipline to proactively keep your aligners on for the required hours per day. It’s important to stay on schedule per your specific treatment plan.
While metal braces need to be adjusted in the office every four weeks, Invisalign® trays can be switched out at home, gently moving your teeth with each new aligner. This means less frequent dental visits and more time to do the things you love.
The cost of Invisalign® varies based on individual treatment, but some dental insurance providers may cover costs.
Please contact Amley McEntire Orthodontics directly to discuss your smile goals and treatment plan, which will determine the total cost of treatment.
Invisalign® aligners should be worn each day for 20-22 hours.
Wear your trays day and night, and only remove them to eat, drink, brush, or floss. This will ensure you stay on schedule and transform your smile according to the treatment plan. Not wearing your trays as recommended may extend the length of treatment time.
Our expertly crafted trays look great and feel better than metal braces. Invisalign® trays are custom-made for each patient using flexible plastic. Additionally, each aligner is individually trimmed for a comfortable fit over your gum line.
