| How long does lnvisalign treatment take and how much does it cost? The duration and cost of the treatment depends on the severity of your particular case, which determines the number of aligners you need. You'll wear each aligner for two weeks. So, generally there may he as many as 48 in the series, or as few as 12. Only your orthodontist can determine the length of your treatment. How often must I wear my aligners? Invisalign ONLY works while you are wearing the aligners. We recommend that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush and floss your teeth - or as directed by Dr. Middleton. Are there restrictions on what I can eat and drink? In general, no. Unlike traditional orthodontics, you can usually eat and drink whatever you desire, because you remove your aligners. Thus, there is no need to restrict consumption of any of your favorite foods or snacks, unless instructed otherwise. How often should I see Dr. Middleton? Conroe Orthodontic Associates will schedule regular appointments - usually about once every six weeks. This is the only way we can be sure that the treatment is progressing as planned. Will wearing the lnvisalign aligners affect my speech? Like all orthodontic treatments, aligners may temporarily affect your speech, and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two. However, as your tongue gets used to having aligners in your mouth, any lisp or minor speech impediment caused by the aligners should disappear. Will the treatment be painful? Most people experience tooth soreness for a few days atter starting each new stage. This is normal. It is a sign that the Invisalign aligners are working - sequentially moving your teeth to their final destination. This soreness should gradually go away a couple of days after you insert the new aligner in the series. If it doesn't, you should call us promptly. How much does it cost? The cost is dependent on the severity of your case, but treatment typically ranges between $3,500 - $5,500. How do I get started? Call either of our convenient offices and make an appointment for your Invisalign consultation. You can learn more by visiting www.invisalign.com. Return to the Invisalign page |
