Invisalign® Treatment

With Invisalign, the world's most cutting-edge clear aligner, there has never been a better moment to straighten your teeth at Summerlin Dental Solutions. Our practice is pleased to be an authorized supplier of Invisalign clear aligners, which allow you a transparent, practical, and pleasant solution to get the famous smile of your dreams.

Questions and Answers about Invisalign:

How frequently should I wear my aligners?

A: Our Summerlin dental clinic advises patients to wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day, taking them out only to eat, floss, and brush their teeth.

How are aligners created?

A: Once you've made the decision to receive treatment at our Summerlin Dental office, we'll take impressions and pictures to send to the Align lab. In that location, Align technology will scan the impressions into a computer and produce a series of aligners that will shift your teeth into the ideal position over the course of one to two weeks.

How much does Invisalign cost?

A: The key element affecting the charge is the movement's complexity. Typically, fees range from $3,500 to $8,500.

Does Invisalign for teeth straightening fall under insurance coverage?

A: Invisalign should typically be reimbursed to the same amount as traditional braces if a patient at our Summerlin dental office has orthodontic coverage. The majority of insurance policies that cover orthodontics will contribute up to a certain maximum toward the cost of your treatment.

Will speaking differently while using Invisalign aligners?

A: Some people's speech may only be affected for a few days by clear aligners, and you might lisp slightly for a day or two. Any lisp brought on by the aligners should go away as you become used to wearing them in your mouth.

Do clear aligners actually work to straighten teeth?

A: Yes! Invisalign has helped more than 1.5 million patients with a range of tooth issues. Dental offices all over the world utilize Invisalign, which was created in collaboration with orthodontists.

WHY A TREATMENT WITH INVISALIGN?

• Quicker healing You can get the smile you want even faster with weekly aligner modifications. If you respond well to treatment, especially if you're an adult, we might think about using longer intervals between aligner modifications.
• Results that are clinically proven: The SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features of Invisalign transparent aligners increase control of tooth movement.
• Better fit: Aligners constructed of SmartTrack cloth are cozy, well-fitting, and simple to put on and take off.
• Effective: A variety of teeth-straightening issues, such as crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites, can be treated with Invisalign clear aligners.
• Virtually undetectable: Because Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, few people will even realize you're undergoing treatment!
• Easy: The removable Invisalign clear aligner trays are smooth and comfortable to use. Therefore, you are free to carry on with your regular activities, including eating anything you like and brushing and flossing your teeth.
• Convenient: Since you just need to visit our office every six weeks, Invisalign treatment is perfect for your hectic schedule.

ASSESSMENT FOR INVISALIGN TREATMENT

First Consultation

We will go over your orthodontic requirements and determine whether Invisalign therapy is a good fit for you at your initial consultation.

Your Personalized Care Plan

To quickly and accurately develop 3D digital photos of your teeth, we'll use a scanner like the iTero® digital scanning equipment. Then, we will create a detailed treatment plan that includes your teeth's specific movements and the length of your therapy. You'll even get to see a glimpse of your new smile and how your teeth will move.

Your Invisalign Clear Aligners

The exclusive SmartTrack® material used by Invisalign will be used to create your personalized aligners. Most people won't even notice you are wearing them while having your teeth straightened because they are practically invisible.

For optimal results, wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours each day, taking them out only to eat, brush, and floss.

Your Success

Your teeth will gradually and softly realign as you wear each pair of aligners. We could advise switching to a fresh pair of aligners every week and scheduling checks around every six weeks.

Protecting Your New Smile

Ask us about a Vivera® retainer after your treatment is over. Similar cutting-edge technology as that used to create Invisalign transparent aligners is used to create personalized Vivera retainers.

Why Invisalign and not traditional metal braces?

Invisalign could be the solution you've been looking for if you've always wanted your teeth to be more aligned but loathe the idea of wearing traditional metal braces.

The following are some of the reasons why many patients seeking orthodontic treatment in Summerlin choose Invisalign over traditional braces:

• They are made of a transparent material that makes them less noticeable than braces made of metal.
• There is a significant reduction in annoyance due to the absence of wires that can prod and cause discomfort.
• They can be taken out so that you can eat, brush, and floss your teeth.
• Your dentist in Summerlin, Marianne Cohan, D.D.S., will start the procedure by taking impressions of your teeth in order to create a bespoke Invisalign tray for you. These impressions will be utilized in the manufacturing process of the clear aligners that will be used to straighten your teeth. You will be able to see, through the use of computer imaging, how your Invisalign treatment is progressing as well as what the final appearance of your teeth will be like after your treatment is finished.
• You will go back to see Dr. Cohan after a few weeks, and then he will give you your sets of aligners for your teeth, which are nearly invisible. During the first two weeks of treatment, you will need to keep the clear braces on at all times and will only take them off when absolutely necessary. After that, you will be given your next aligner, and the process will start over again until your teeth are in the new position it was intended for them to be in.
• The length of time it takes to complete treatment may range anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the extent to which your teeth need to be corrected. The end result will be a complete set of teeth that are in proper alignment, which you will be pleased to show off.
• Braces have the potential to be a game-changer in one's life! It is critical that the experience be as stress-free and relaxing for you as is humanly possible. Not only is it less obvious to others that you are wearing braces when you have Invisalign, but it is also less of an inconvenience because the aligners can be taken out whenever it is required. Because Invisalign can be removed from the mouth, unlike traditional braces, there are no limitations on the foods or beverages that can be consumed while wearing it.

Straightening Smiles in Summerlin

Although not everyone is born with a picture-perfect smile, many misalignment issues can be corrected using orthodontic treatments such as braces or invisalign. It is not unusual for people to have teeth that are crooked, crowded, or poorly aligned, as well as jaws that are misaligned; however, many people are unaware that these issues affect more than just their appearance. The disorder in your mouth poses additional risks to your health, some of which are as follows:

• An inability to chew food properly, which can lead to digestive issues.
• The possibility of fracturing a tooth as a result of stress placed on the jaws or teeth
• Difficulty maintaining proper dental hygiene, which can lead to cavities, periodontitis (also known as "perio disease"), gingivitis, gum inflammation/recession, and ultimately the loss of bone tissue and teeth.
• Psychological issues, including low self-esteem, as a result of an unattractive appearance

Orthodontics is a subspecialty of cosmetic dentistry that addresses issues with the teeth and jaw by employing various orthodontic braces and retainers as well as other specialized dental appliances. With orthodontic treatment, all of these conditions can be remedied or avoided entirely. Orthodontics at Dr. Cohan's office focuses on creating beautiful smiles for patients in Summerlin by correctly aligning their teeth, lips, and jaws. This helps our patients feel confident about the way they look.
