Is Invisalign Right For Me?

Invisalign can close unwanted gaps in teeth and reduce crowding. It can also correct:

• Underbite
• Overbite
• Open bite
• Crossbite

Invisalign doesn’t work for every dental case, but Dr. Nels can make an accurate assessment at your initial visit.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Several sets of clear aligners are custom-made to fit your bite by Dr. Nels. You will wear each set for 1-2 weeks, depending on your treatment plan, and visit every 6-8 weeks to pick up your next set of aligners, check your progress, and have any questions or concerns answered along the way. You’ll be able to see and feel your bite transform throughout the process!

What Are The Advantages Of Invisalign?

The Invisalign system is safe and easy. It takes about half as long to complete treatment as orthodontics with traditional braces. There are fewer dental visits, so it is more convenient for busy folks on the go. Not to mention the fact that straighter teeth are healthier, easier to clean, and less prone to gum disease and tooth decay. It’s a win-win-win!

• Translucent aligners are discreet
• No need to change your diet or oral hygiene routine
• Mouth injuries and irritation are less likely without brackets and wires
• You can still enjoy active sports and hobbies

Teeth Straightening Isn’t Just For Teens

The number of people over 18 years old who choose orthodontic treatment has been on the rise for years, and clear aligner systems like Invisalign are part of the reason. It’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted—and no one has to know you’re wearing braces unless you tell them!

That said, Magnolia Family Dentistry does offer InvisalignTeen®. It is very similar to the regular system, with additional features like blue compliance indicators to ensure the aligners were worn for the proper length of time for that day.

Still Can’t Decide?

Orthodontic treatment is a big decision for a lot of reasons. It is true that straighter teeth are easier to maintain—and of course, you’ll feel better about your smile (and probably show it a lot more often) if you like the way it looks! If you’re seriously considering Invisalign, you owe it to yourself to get all the information you can—and Dr. Nels is happy to help!

What About Financing?

That’s a big question! Unfortunately, insurance often won’t cover orthodontic treatments, particularly for adults over 18. However, we do offer flexible financing through CareCredit® and we have our own in-office Dental Savers plan. Check out our Patient Information page or give us a call for more information!
