What is Invisalign?

Invisalign clear braces offer a modern, discreet way to straighten teeth and correct minor bite issues.
Made from transparent plastic or acrylic, these custom-made aligners are nearly invisible and more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
Treatment typically lasts between 10 months and two years.

How Invisalign Clear Braces Work

1. Initial Consultation

Comprehensive dental examination and 3D modeling.

2. Custom Aligners

Custom-made to fit your mouth.

3. Wearing Aligners

Worn for at least 20 hours daily for two weeks per set.

4. Follow-Up Visits

When an abscess does not respond to root canal therapy.

5. Duration

Treatment involves 18-30 different aligners over a year to a year and a half.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Braces

Invisalign offers several advantages compared to traditional braces. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them an aesthetic choice for adults and teens who feel self-conscious about wearing metal braces. They're removable, allowing you to eat and drink whatever you like without restrictions and maintain normal brushing and flossing for better oral hygiene during treatment. Invisalign aligners are also more comfortable than braces, with no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation to your cheeks and gums. Additionally, Invisalign treatment typically requires fewer office visits than braces, with check-ups approximately every 6-8 weeks at our office. Many patients also report that Invisalign treatment is less disruptive to their daily lives compared to traditional braces.

Invisible: Virtually undetectable to others.
Removable: Easy to take out for special occasions.
Comfortable: Custom-fit without sharp edges.
Predictable Process: Clear, step-by-step treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Dental Health & Beauty, Invisalign treatment typically costs approximately $4,500. This comprehensive fee includes your initial consultation, all aligners, regular progress check-ups with Dr. Polito, and refinement aligners if needed to achieve optimal results. While this investment is comparable to traditional braces, many patients find the aesthetic and lifestyle benefits of Invisalign well worth the cost. We understand that orthodontic treatment is a significant investment, which is why we offer several payment options including the DHB dental program and financing through CareCredit.
While Dental Health & Beauty is out-of-network with insurance providers, we accept and submit insurance claims on your behalf. Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits cover Invisalign treatment similarly to how they cover traditional braces, typically providing partial coverage up to a lifetime maximum. Coverage varies significantly between providers and specific plans. Our team will help you understand your benefits and maximize your insurance coverage. For patients with limited or no insurance coverage, we offer several payment options to make Invisalign more affordable, including our DHB dental program and financing through CareCredit, which allows you to spread the cost of treatment over time. During your consultation, we'll provide a complete breakdown of costs and payment options specific to your situation.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and your specific orthodontic needs. On average, most adult treatments take between 12-18 months to complete. Simple cases involving minor corrections may be completed in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases might take up to 24 months. During your consultation at Dental Health & Beauty, Dr. Polito will evaluate your teeth and provide a personalized timeline for your treatment. The success and speed of your treatment depend largely on wearing your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking anything besides water, and oral hygiene.
Invisalign is highly effective for treating many of the same orthodontic issues as traditional braces, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Advances in Invisalign technology have significantly expanded its capabilities over the years. For most common orthodontic concerns, Invisalign can achieve comparable results to traditional braces with the added benefits of being removable and virtually invisible. However, very complex cases or certain specific tooth movements may still be better suited for traditional orthodontics. During your consultation, Dr. Polito will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most effective treatment approach. If Invisalign is right for you, you can expect excellent results with proper compliance to wearing your aligners as directed.
For optimal results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything besides water, and cleaning your teeth. Consistent wear is crucial to keeping your treatment on schedule—each time you remove your aligners, the shifting process temporarily stops. Wearing aligners for less than the recommended time can extend your overall treatment duration and potentially affect the final outcome. You'll change to a new set of aligners approximately every 1-2 weeks as directed by Dr. Polito. During your regular check-ups at Dental Health & Beauty, Dr. Polito will monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is advancing as planned. Following these guidelines will help ensure your treatment progresses efficiently and produces the best possible results.

Invisalign treatment is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience some discomfort, especially during the first few days with a new set of aligners. This pressure indicates that your aligners are working to shift your teeth into their proper positions. Any discomfort is typically mild and subsides within a few days as your mouth adjusts to each new aligner. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any temporary discomfort. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners have no metal components to cause irritation to your cheeks or gums. If you experience persistent discomfort or if an aligner seems to be fitting improperly, contact our office at (847) 367-1133, and Dr. Polito will address any concerns you may have.

Invisalign Candidates

Most adults and teenagers with common orthodontic issues are good candidates for Invisalign. Invisalign can effectively treat crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Ideal candidates have good oral health with no untreated cavities or gum disease and are committed to wearing their aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day. Invisalign may not be suitable for very complex orthodontic cases or for patients requiring significant jaw realignment. The best way to determine if Invisalign is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nicholas Polito at Dental Health & Beauty. During this appointment, Dr. Polito will evaluate your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for your specific needs.
Invisalign is ideal for teens and adults with mild to moderate crooked teeth. It is not suitable for children as their jaws are still growing.
