Question 1

What are Invisalign clear braces (aligners)?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign aligners work like braces to straighten your teeth with a series of custom-made clear plastic trays. Invisalign clear braces gently shift your teeth over time and are virtually invisible during treatment.

Question 2

Why should I choose Invisalign?

Accepted Answer

Clear aligners are a comfortable, natural-looking way to straighten your teeth without traditional wires and brackets. Invisalign trays can also be removed when needed, so you can still brush and floss like normal.

With Invisalign, braces will barely affect your daily life. You can eat what you want and enjoy sports and other activities without worrying about your braces. Brushing and flossing are easier with Invisalign, and you won't have to worry about the metal, wires or brackets found in traditional metal braces creating discomfort or mouth abrasions.

Question 3

Are Invisalign clear aligners just for teens?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign clear braces are a popular choice for both adults and teens looking to achieve a straight and beautiful smile.

Adults often prefer the more subtle appearance of clear aligners, and Invisalign is an ideal option for many common problems adults face, like crowded teeth, gaps or mild bite issues that may not have been addressed when they were younger.

Question 4

Can you see the trays?

Accepted Answer

Many patients choose Invisalign clear aligners for the more "invisible" look, giving them an attractive, clean look. Metal braces have become popular in recent years with young people, due to the variety of styles and colors now available. However, as an adult or maturing teen, there may be a preference for Invisalign clear aligners.

Question 5

Are Invisalign clear aligners comfortable?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign clear aligners are not only comfortable, they can actually protect your teeth. People who grind their teeth find that the clear aligners help protect their teeth from too much wear.

Question 6

What are the guidelines for wearing Invisalign clear aligners?

Accepted Answer

One of the big advantages of Invisalign over traditional metal braces is that the clear aligners are completely removable. Because of this, it might be tempting to remove your clear aligners and forget to put them back in or neglect to wear them long enough.

Forgetting to wear your Invisalign clear aligners or failing to wear them long enough will delay your treatment and take longer to achieve the smile of your dreams. Prairie Dental recommends wearing your Invisalign aligners as long as possible – 20 to 22 hours each day –  to achieve the best and fastest results.

Question 7

What do Invisalign clear aligners cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost for Invisalign treatment varies based on your case but is typically less expensive than traditional metal braces. Prairie Dental offers convenient financing options so achieving your dream smile is within reach.
