How Does Invisalign in Sunnyvale Work?
Invisalign in Sunnyvale uses a series of custom-made, clear aligner trays to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. These clear aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic and are virtually invisible when worn. The treatment begins with a consultation with an Invisalign dentist in Sunnyvale, who creates a digital 3-D image of the patient's teeth. Using advanced computer technology, the dentist maps out the precise movements needed to achieve the desired alignment. Patients typically wear each set of aligners for a few weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment can vary depending on several factors, including the severity of the alignment issues, the length of treatment, and the location of the dental practice. On average, Invisalign treatment can range in price. Some dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost of Invisalign, while others may not offer coverage for orthodontic treatments. For those in Sunnyvale seeking Invisalign treatment, consulting with our local Invisalign dentist in Sunnyvale can provide specific pricing information tailored to individual needs and circumstances.
Precise Treatment Planning
The first step for our dentists is to take a digital x-ray to evaluate your needs and determine how much tooth movement is needed. Next, we take impressions of your teeth that skilled Invisalign technicians use to determine the precise movement of each tooth to map out a step-by-step treatment plan.
An Invisalign lab uses the treatment plan to create a series of custom-molded clear plastic aligners. Since your needs are unique, the number of aligners you receive depends on the amount of tooth movement needed. However, on average, Invisalign patients go through 20–30 sets of aligners to achieve the desired results.
Convenient, Comfortable Treatment
Your goal is to wear your aligners 22 hours a day, and with gentle, steady force, the trays shift your teeth incrementally into the correct position.
Our Invisalign dentists will explain how treatment works and that you should wear and switch out your aligners every 2–3 weeks. Each set achieves a specific tooth movement, and your new straight smile gets closer and closer.
