Invisalign® in Pflugerville

What Invisalign® Is

Invisalign in Pflugerville is a system of straightening and aligning teeth using clear aligner trays that gradually move them into place. The trays are custom-made to fit each patient’s unique smile and objectives.

What Are the Differences Between Invisalign and Braces?

Technically, Invisalign is another type of braces offering the same effective teeth-straightening results as standard metal braces, comparing Invisalign vs braces reveals a host of distinctive differences

Who Does Invisalign Benefit?

Treatment with Invisalign in Pflugerville can benefit anyone with gapped, crooked, crowded, or otherwise misaligned teeth that they wish to move into alignment.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign aligner trays can fix a range of orthodontic issues from mild to moderate, and the Invisalign system doesn’t require wearing any unsightly metal brackets or wires. Throughout your treatment, nobody will ever know you’re wearing them unless you tell them.

When looking at the visibility of Invisalign when you speak or smile, clear aligners trays are much less noticeable than metal braces. While they may not be entirely invisible, the transparent trays fit snugly and securely over your teeth without all the visible brackets and wires that traditional metal braces require.

Benefits of Invisalign vs braces in Pflugerville include:

• More attractive smile
• Greater self-confidence
• Fewer visits to the Invisalign dentist's office for adjustments and monitoring
• Shorter treatment duration
• Better ease of keeping teeth and gums clean
• Less discomfort or pain
• Ability to enjoy whatever food and drinks you like

The Cost of Invisalign

If you have an FSA (Flexible Spending Account,) that may help defray a portion of your treatment costs.

Insurance may also cover some of your Invisalign cost. Call your dental insurance provider to find out if Invisalign insurance coverage is available to you.

Taking Care of Your Invisalign Aligners

The success of your treatment with Invisalign aligners depends largely on how well you care for them during treatment.

Brush and floss your teeth normally every day upon waking up and before going to sleep and/or after every meal. And, when you do, remove your aligners first and clean them as well. For best results, use the Invisalign cleaning system your dentist provides. Never clean your aligners using hot water as that can damage your trays; use lukewarm or even cool water instead.

Avoid smoking or using chewing tobacco as it could stain the aligner trays. Avoid chewing gum because it could stick to the aligner trays, since they’re made of plastic.

If your aligners get cracked, warped, or otherwise damaged, visit our Pflugerville dentist office right away to get it replaced. Damaged aligners won’t apply the correct amount of pressure to work right.

And, once you're through with treatment, be sure to wear the Invisalign retainers your dentist gives you.
