Get the beautiful smile you have always wanted!
Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable, clear aligners. It’s been proven effective in both clinical research and in practices nationwide. So whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing braces, you’ll have a new reason to smile!
The latest technology makes it possible
Upon an initial examination, our team at Hatch Family Dentistry will decide if you are a candidate for Invisalign orthodontic treatment. We will write a treatment plan and take impressions of your upper and lower teeth, which will then be submitted to Invisalign along with x-rays and color photographs. Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign carefully translates our instructions into a series of precisely customized aligners. You then wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth, gradually – week by week, millimeter by millimeter – until you’ve achieved the intended result: straighter teeth. Generally, you visit our office once every six weeks for about a year to complete treatment, which is usually much faster than traditional braces.
No braces. Nothing to hold you back
Because there are no metal wires and brackets, Invisalign is comfortable. And because it is removable, eating, brushing and flossing are no problem. You can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding back. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to hide.
Proven results behind great smiles
In both clinical research and in dental practices nationwide, Invisalign has been proven effective at straightening teeth. Only a doctor who has been trained and certified can treat using Invisalign.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does Invisalign work?
Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign translates your doctor’s instructions, impressions, x-rays and photographs into a series of nearly undetectable Aligners. You wear each set of Aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth gradually week by week, millimeter by millimeter you’ve achieved the desired result.
Is Invisalign effective?
Thousands of doctors are treating patients with Invisalign. It works for a wide range of patients whose teeth are too crowded or have spaces between them, as well as for those whose teeth may have shifted after having worn braces in their youth. Over 750,000 successful cases have been completed worldwide.
How often will I have to wear my Aligners?
Invisalign only works while you’re wearing the Aligners. It’s recommended that you wear your Aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush and floss your teeth. Plan on having them in your mouth 23 hours each day.
How long does Invisalign take?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, which determines the number of Aligners you need. However, the average is about 12 months. We have seen cases take as little as 6 months.
How much does Invisalign cost?
We charge a set fee of $4,500.00. Many orthodontists charge extra for Invisalign. Also, if your dental insurance plan covers traditional braces, it will typically cover Invisalign to the same extent. If you have orthodontic coverage, it will usually cover anywhere from $1,000.00 – $4,000.00 depending on the plan your employer has purchased for its employees. We are happy to have our staff research your coverage so you know in advance what your costs will be.
