Care for Your Aligners

and Maintain Proper Health During Treatment

To keep your aligners clear and odor-free, it’s important to take care of them every day. When you take your aligners out to eat, make sure you brush and floss your teeth before putting them back in. Gently brush your aligners with a clear, antibacterial soft soap every night. Caring for your aligners will keep them clear so you’ll be confident throughout the nearly invisible process.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

Understanding The Treatment Process

After the treatment planning phase is over and you receive your aligners, you’ll wear each set for about 2 weeks, for 20-22+ hours per day. You’ll come into our office about every 6 weeks for a quick checkup and to get your next several sets of aligners. Most patients need about 20-24 sets of aligners in order to correct their smiles, so this means that the average treatment time is about a year for most patients.
‍
However, this can vary based on your orthodontic needs. Patients who have only minor orthodontic issues may be treated even more quickly. On the other hand, patients with more complex orthodontic problems may need to wear Invisalign for more than a year. To get an accurate estimate of how long your treatment will take, we recommend scheduling an orthodontic consultation with an experienced dentist in Fort Mill.

Will Invisalign Work For Me?

Find Out If You’re A Candidate

Invisalign is appropriate for most people who have minor-to-moderate orthodontic issues. If issues like gaps, slightly-crooked or crowded teeth are keeping you from a confident, healthy smile, then Invisalign is probably a great choice for you.
‍
However, this treatment cannot be used to treat more serious orthodontic issues, like major overbites and underbites, or a malpositioned jaw. If you have more complex orthodontic needs, traditional braces may be a better choice for you.
‍
The best way to find out if Invisalign will work for you is to contact Luck Family Dental for an appointment. During your consultation, Dr. Luck will examine your mouth and help you determine if Invisalign or traditional braces may be more appropriate for your needs.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Discreet Orthodontic Treatment

Removable – Invisalign is completely removable, so you don’t need to worry about dietary restrictions throughout your treatment. In addition, you can remove Invisalign to brush and floss, which makes it easier to care for your teeth.
Enhanced comfort – Invisalign moves your teeth gently and gradually. While some pressure and discomfort may occur when you switch to each set of new aligners as your teeth adjust to them, Invisalign tends to be much more comfortable compared to traditional braces.
Completely invisible – Your aligners are completely invisible when you wear them, and also do not affect your speech. Because of this, nobody has to know that you’re straightening their teeth unless you want them to, making this a much more subtle treatment compared to traditional metal braces.
Convenient, with less time spent at the dentist – You don’t have to go to the dentist for regular adjustments with Invisalign. Instead, you only have to come to Luck Family Dental about every 6 weeks for a quick check-up, and to get your next few sets of aligners. This saves you time, and makes your life more convenient.

frequently asked questions

Can Invisalign Fix an Overbite?

Absolutely! Invisalign has proven to be a highly effective solution for correcting an overbite. An overbite is a dental condition where the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower ones. It's not just about aesthetics, an untreated overbite can lead to a host of other oral health issues like gum damage, tooth wear, and jaw pain.

Invisalign employs a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. Unlike traditional metal braces, these aligners are nearly invisible and can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes the treatment more comfortable and less disruptive to your daily life.

However, it's important to remember that the effectiveness of Invisalign, like any orthodontic treatment, depends on the severity of your overbite and your commitment to wearing the aligners as instructed. Dr. Leah R. Luck at Luck Family Dental can provide a comprehensive assessment to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for your overbite.

Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is a versatile treatment that can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, gap teeth, and crowded teeth. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for Invisalign.

Ideal candidates for Invisalign are typically adults and teenagers who have fully developed jaws. They should also be committed to wearing the aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day and maintaining good oral hygiene. Severe or complex orthodontic issues may require more traditional orthodontic treatments.

The best way to find out if you're a candidate for Invisalign is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Leah R. Luck at Luck Family Dental. She will evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment options for you.

Is Invisalign Covered by Insurance?

Coverage for Invisalign treatment varies widely, depending on your specific insurance plan. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign just as they would traditional braces, but it's always best to check with your insurance provider to understand the extent of your coverage.

At Luck Family Dental, our team is experienced in working with various insurance providers. We are more than happy to assist you in understanding your insurance benefits and exploring the most cost-effective treatment options for you.

Is Invisalign as Good as Braces?

Invisalign and traditional braces are both effective treatments for straightening teeth and correcting a variety of orthodontic issues. The choice between the two often comes down to personal preferences and the complexity of your case.

Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces. The clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a more discreet option. They are also removable, which allows for easier eating, brushing, and flossing. Many patients find Invisalign to be more comfortable than braces, as there are no metal wires or brackets to irritate the mouth.

However, for severe or complex cases, traditional braces may be more effective. Dr. Leah R. Luck at Luck Family Dental can provide an accurate assessment of your case and guide you in choosing the most suitable treatment option.
