Invisalign in Balcatta
Straighten your teeth Discreetly with Invisalign
A crooked smile makes it difficult to feel confident. Not only do you feel self-conscious about your appearance, but having a misaligned bite can also lead to problems with your teeth over time.
Traditional orthodontic treatments like metal braces can fix the alignment of your teeth. However, they are noticeable, and the wires and metal brackets can be uncomfortable. They can also take a long time to correct your teeth’s alignment.
Comfort Care Dental offers Invisalign, a series of custom-made, clear braces that cover your teeth and gently pull them into the proper position over time. Because they are clear and removable, they are less noticeable than traditional metal braces, so you can feel confident about your smile while we straighten your teeth. If you’re considering Invisalign, Comfort Care Dental is the perfect place to start. Our team of experienced dentists will work with you every step of the way to ensure that you get the best possible results.
Common Reasons Why You Might Need Invisalign
Crooked or crowded teeth
Straightening crooked teeth can significantly improve a patient's smile and lead to better oral health. With Invisalign's advanced technology, misaligned teeth are pulled gently to their correct positions to align them. This does not only improve one's appearance, but it can also make it easier for patients to brush and floss their teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. This decreases the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
Spacing
Invisalign treatments are designed to correct small spaces or gaps in the teeth. Closing these gaps reduces the potential for food debris and plaque to become entrapped, and it can also improve an individual's appearance. This contributes to achieving healthy teeth and a beautiful smile.
Overbite
Patients with an overbite have protruded upper front teeth and lower front teeth that almost touch the palate. By using Invisalign, it may be possible to correct this problem by repositioning the teeth to a more appropriate position.
Underbite
A patient with an underbite has their lower teeth positioned more forward than the upper teeth. Invisalign can be effective in treating this condition. However, there are times when the treatment needs to be combined with surgical procedures to be more effective.

Open bite
Open bite is a dental condition wherein the upper and lower teeth do not come into contact when the patient bites. Invisalign can help close open bites. With Invisalign, you'll be able to treat your open bite without the need for invasive procedures or uncomfortable appliances.
06.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when the teeth on the upper jaw and lower jaw do not line up properly, which can eventually lead to problems with speech, chewing, and even tooth loss. Invisalign can be an effective treatment option for patients with mild to moderate crossbites. It gradually moves the teeth into their proper position, correcting the alignment of the jaws and restoring proper function to the teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
What are the benefits of Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign is one of the modern innovations in orthodontic technology, and it is a popular alternative to traditional braces. This treatment offers several advantages.
First, they are virtually invisible, so it is not as noticeable as traditional metal braces. Second, they are removable, so you can take them out for eating or when you need to brush and floss your teeth. Third, Invisalign is more comfortable than traditional braces, and there are no wires or brackets to cause irritation. Lastly, Invisalign treatment is typically shorter than traditional braces so that you can achieve your dream smile in less time.
How long should I wear Invisalign to get results?
Invisalign, also called invisible braces, is a clear aligner system used to straighten teeth. These Invisalign trays or aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours a day and removed only when eating and cleaning.
They are replaced every two weeks and the treatment can last up to 12-18 months based on the difficulty of a patient’s case. However, for minor alignment problems, Invisalign can straighten teeth in as little as six months and the results are noticeable in just a few weeks.
Is Invisalign better than traditional braces?
When it comes to straightening teeth, there are various treatment options available. For many people, the choice comes down to Invisalign vs. traditional braces. While both Invisalign and braces can effectively correct dental alignment, there are some key differences between the two.
Invisalign is a clear aligner, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. They’re also removable, meaning you can take them out for eating and cleaning. However, they may not be suitable for more complex cases.
On the other hand, traditional braces are less expensive and can be more effective for severe misalignments. They are cemented on the teeth, making it ideal for patients who may find it difficult to remember to wear their aligners.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your individual needs and preferences. You may talk to your dentist to learn more about your options.
What should I do to care for my Invisalign?
It is important to take care of your Invisalign trays to prevent damage or loss. Since it is removable, it is relatively easy to maintain and clean. Before wearing the aligners, brush your teeth to remove any plaque or food debris that could be caught in between your teeth and the aligner.
Once it is worn, you may consume cold beverages, but hot beverages and any alcohol-containing mouthrinse and drinks must be avoided. These drinks can cause warping of the Invisalign. The aligners must also be removed before eating to avoid them from getting deformed.
Aligners are cleaned with a soft-bristled toothbrush and liquid soap. Using toothpaste is not recommended since this may create micro-scratches on your aligner. Also, remember to keep your aligners in a protective case when they’re not used.
How will I know if my Invisalign is ill-fitting?
While Invisalign is a great way to achieve straighter teeth, the aligners must fit properly. Otherwise, they may not work as effectively and could even cause damage to your teeth. There are a few signs to look out for to determine if your Invisalign is ill-fitting.
If your aligners feel loose or move easily when you try to wear them, this is an indication that they do not fit properly. You may also find that your aligners are difficult to put in or take out, or cause discomfort or pain when you wear them.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to contact your dentist so that they can adjust your aligners and ensure a proper fit. With proper care and routine check-ups, Invisalign can give you the straight smile you’ve always wanted without the discomfort!
What are the possible risks with Invisalign treatment?
As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks and side effects associated with Invisalign that patients should know before beginning treatment.
The most common side effect is discomfort or soreness, as the aligners put pressure on the teeth to move them into their appropriate position. This soreness is typically mild and goes away after a few days, but some patients may experience more severe discomfort that lasts for several weeks.
In rare cases, patients may also experience allergic reactions to the materials used in the aligners. If you experience persistent pain or irritation after starting Invisalign treatment, you should consult your dentist to ensure that your treatment is proceeding according to plan.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment starts at $3,300. This price includes the consultation, models, photos, and aligners for your treatment. The cost may increase depending upon how complex your case may be. To receive a more accurate estimate, we ask that you stop by our clinic for a more comprehensive examination.
Does my insurance cover Invisalign treatment?
Most dental insurances cover Invisalign treatment but not all. Some dental insurance policies cover only a percentage, while others cover a fixed amount of the treatment. Comfort Care Dental is a preferred provider of major health insurance, so if you would like to know your dental insurance coverage, please contact your health fund provider to know the details.
