Comfortably Straighten Your Smile With Clear Aligner Therapy
Typically, patients relate orthodontic treatment to the metal wires and brackets of braces, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Invisalign® clear aligners are a convenient way to straighten your teeth without hindering your lifestyle or appearance.
Invisalign aligners are removable and nearly invisible, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and smile with confidence. At Allen Park Dentistry, our very own Dr. Dema Mahjoub is a proud Platinum+ Invisalign provider. Learn how our skilled Allen Park, MI, Invisalign provider can transform your smile and oral health.
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is a non-invasive orthodontic solution that uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, providing a more aesthetically pleasing alternative.
This comfortable orthodontic treatment involves the gradual movement of teeth using a series of custom-made aligners, each one slightly different to shift teeth into their desired positions. Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment that can help improve smiles without the visibility of metal braces.
Benefits of Invisalign®
Invisalign is a proven, trusted treatment method for straightening your smile. Invisalign® offers unmatched benefits, including:
Discreet Appearance
Unlike other orthodontic treatments, clear aligner trays won’t draw any attention, as they’re virtually invisible to those around you.
Convenience
You can remove your aligners when eating and drinking, so you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about special oral care instructions.
Fast Results
Invisalign clear aligner therapy can be completed in as few as 12 months or half the time of metal braces.
Comfortable
Since no metal wires or brackets are poking your gums and cheeks, Invisalign is far more comfortable than traditional braces.
Cost of Invisalign®
The cost of Invisalign treatment can vary based on patients’ treatment plan details, but many insurance plans cover at least a portion of the treatment expenses. With its clear, comfortable design and ability to straighten teeth quickly and effectively, Invisalign is a smart investment for patients looking to improve their smiles with less hassle.
Along with our convenient financing options, Allen Park Dentistry believes your dental treatment shouldn’t break the bank, so we offer Invisalign aligners for as little as:
$99/month
(aprox. $3/day)
What Orthodontic Issues Can Invisalign® Correct?
Invisalign® can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Overcrowding
- Uneven spacing
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Misaligned teeth
It’s worth noting that Invisalign is not suitable for everyone, as patients with severe cases of misalignment may require traditional orthodontic treatments. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Mahjoub to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you.
How Invisalign® Works
Invisalign® straightens your teeth with a series of custom-made aligners. The treatment is simple and minimally invasive — before you know it, you can achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
During your initial consultation, our Allen Park Platinum+ Invisalign dentist will examine your oral health and discuss your smile goals. We’ll take measurements of your mouth and molds of your teeth that will be sent to a lab where your aligners will be customized for your needs.
You’ll want to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day and only remove them when eating and drinking. Every two weeks, you’ll swap your aligners for a new set that will gradually move your teeth into their desired position.
Dr. Mahjoub will monitor your progress throughout the treatment to ensure you’re on track with your plan and make any adjustments if necessary. Once your treatment is complete, you’ll enjoy all the benefits of a healthy and flawless smile!
