Many patients are concerned about the alignment of their teeth. It can make them feel self-conscious, have trouble chewing properly, and even cause considerable discomfort. A typical solution to this problem over the years has been metal braces. However, many patients are averse to the idea of wearing the brackets and wires due to their overwhelming appearance. Thankfully, Dr. Mark Medaugh offers an alternative: Invisalign in Belchertown.

How Invisalign Works

The first step is to visit Dr. Medaugh so he can conduct a thorough exam. This will allow him to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you, as well as allow you to ask any questions you might have. Should you both decide to move forward, the process will start with our team taking a series of X-rays and photos of your mouth. These will be used to make your trays and ensure they are perfectly fitted to your particular teeth. Once you have started wearing your trays, you will need to visit the office about every 6-8 weeks so your progress can be monitored.

Who Invisalign Can Help

Are you interested in getting Invisalign? Good news: you’re probably a candidate for clear aligners! If you’re ready to schedule a consultation to find out, please call your dentist in Belchertown today. Otherwise, you can read on to learn more about the orthodontic problems Invisalign can correct.

Crowded Teeth

If your case of overcrowding isn’t too severe, then we can likely move your teeth into proper alignment with Invisalign! To accomplish this, we will use a custom series of trays to gradually shift your teeth. They are meant to be worn up to 22 hours a day for about 2 weeks each before moving onto the next one.

Gaps Between Teeth

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that can help patients with small gaps throughout their smile, a large gap between their two front teeth, and just about everything in between. Since the aligners are clear and removable, you’ll have a front-row seat to watch your smile transform before your eyes too!

Bite Alignment

Orthodontic treatment can take anywhere from 8-18 months depending on your degree of misalignment. Fortunately, Invisalign has advanced over the years to be able to address more and more complicated orthodontic issues, like crossbites. So, don’t just assume you’ll have to wear metal braces!

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign has a number of advantages when compared to metal braces, such as:

  • The clear plastic makes them much less noticeable on the teeth compared to the brackets of traditional braces.
  • The trays are removable, which allows the patient to eat and care for their teeth as they would normally.
  • The smooth plastic is much less irritating to the surrounding soft tissue of the lips and gums than braces.
  • The trays often work faster to correct issues than traditional braces.
  • Invisalign requires less frequent visits to the dentist’s office.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The cost of your Invisalign treatment will depend on a few factors, including how many aligners need to be made, if one or both arches of your teeth need to be straightened, if attachments or any other orthodontic accessories need to be added to your treatment plan, and the type of retainer you need. That’s why we can’t provide you with an accurate estimate of the price without a consultation! Not to worry – we will provide you with a number at your appointment, and we will discuss the financial solutions available, like CareCredit, as well.
