Invisalign – Plano, TX
The Comfortable Way to a Straighter Smile
Dental misalignments like gaps, crowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites can lead to a host of oral and overall health problems like gum injuries, uneven enamel erosion, hygiene difficulties, tooth loss, and pain in the jaw, neck, back, or head. Thankfully, Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that can address mild to moderate misalignments using removable and virtually invisible clear aligners. Here’s a quick look at how Invisalign works and who it can help from the skilled staff at Zoom Family Dental.

How Invisalign Works
Invisalign realigns a patient’s teeth using a customized sequence of virtually invisible clear aligners designed to fit snugly over the teeth. Each of these appliances will exert the pressure necessary to gradually shift the teeth into healthier positions, and the patient will have to wear each set for about two weeks before switching to the next pair in their sequence. To keep their treatment on track, the patient will have to wear their aligners for at least twenty hours each day, so it’s usually best to only remove them for oral hygiene sessions and when eating or drinking anything but water. Invisalign treatment can usually be completed in twelve to eighteen months.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Invisalign can address many mild to moderate cases of dental misalignment, and the best way to find out if this treatment can help you is to schedule a consultation at our Plano dental office. Based on our dentist’s findings, we may recommend Invisalign to address issues like:
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth can be difficult to clean and may make a person shy about showing their smile. Invisalign can often be used to space crowded teeth out so they sit together more evenly.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps between teeth may be distracting and can leave the gums vulnerable to injury. Invisalign trays can be used to guide the gapped teeth closer together to create a stronger and more visually pleasing smile.
Bite Alignment
Dental misalignments like crossbites, open bites, overbites, and underbites can put unnecessary strain on the jaws and teeth, which can lead to enamel erosion and TMJ issues. Invisalign is frequently used to address mild to moderate misalignments.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign can deliver a range of remarkable benefits like:
- Brief treatment timelines – usually only twelve to eighteen months.
- Imposing no dietary restrictions.
- Easy oral hygiene requirements.
- Infrequent checkups that typically last only fifteen minutes or so.
- Comfortable aligners with no pointy metal parts.
- Virtually invisible orthodontic appliances.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Each Invisalign treatment is completely customized according to the patient’s needs, so we’ll need to evaluate your mouth at our Plano office before we can provide you with a proper cost estimate. The price of your treatment will be determined by a range of factors like the severity of your misalignment, and we’ll be happy to help you understand the associated costs as well as your payment and financing options when we see you for your consultation.
