Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often do I need to wear my aligners?
A: It is recommended at or Summerlin dental office that you wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day and only remove them for eating, flossing, and brushing.
Q: How are the aligners made?
A: Once you've decided to undergo treatment in our Summerlin Dental office, we will take impressions and photos that will be sent to the Align lab. There, Align technology will scan the impressions into a computer and create a sequence of aligners designed to move your teeth in one to two-week intervals into the desired position.
Q: How much is Invisalign?

.
Q: Does insurance cover Invisalign for teeth straightening?
A: In general, if a patient at our Summerlin dental office has orthodontic coverage, Invisalign should be covered to the same extent as conventional braces. Most insurance plans that cover orthodontics will provide up to a specified maximum towards your treatment cost.
Q: Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech?
A: Clear aligners may only for a few days affect the speech of some people, and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two. However, as you get used to having aligners in your mouth, any lisp caused by the aligners should disappear.
Q: Do clear aligners really work for teeth straightening?
A: Yes! Over 1.5 million patients with a wide variety of dental challenges have been treated with Invisalign. Invisalign was developed with orthodontists and is used in dental practices worldwide.
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.
We will use a scanner such as the iTero® digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Then we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and preview your new smile.
Your custom-made aligners will be made of Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening.
Wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss.

As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every six weeks or so.
When your treatment is complete, ask us about a Vivera® retainer. Vivera retainers are custom-made using the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign clear aligners.
