The Clear Alternative to Braces!

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Do you suffer from crooked, misaligned or overcrowded teeth? Looking for Invisalign in Roanoke? Invisalign is a newer orthodontic treatment which uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. These clear aligners are custom-made to fit comfortably and effectively correct your smile.

With Invisalign, there′s no reason to step back from your professional or social life and every reason to lean in. The nearly invisible aligners allow you go about your life with confidence and give you a clear path to a beautiful smile. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made retainers, called aligners, to gradually straighten your teeth. Invisalign aligners are completely clear, smooth and removable. This means no irritation from metal braces, no off-limits foods and no interference with your life! Are you ready to get your clear braces in Roanoke?

Benefits of Invisalign

Nearly undetectable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses clear aligners which have been designed to be virtually invisible to the eye.

Removable: Invisalign clear braces can be easily removed while eating, drinking or cleaning your smile. They, however, must be worn for at least 22 hours a day during your treatment.

Comfortable to wear: With Invisalign clear braces, there are no wires, brackets or rubber bands, just custom-crafted clear aligners designed to comfortably fit in your mouth while correcting your smile.

Quicker treatment: In comparison to traditional metal braces, Invisalign has much quicker treatment periods (typically 9-15 months) and often has less orthodontic visits during treatment.

Will my insurance cover Invisalign treatment?

Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment the same way they cover braces. Your insurance may pay a percentage of your treatment, or it may pay for a certain dollar amount. Call our office for details.
How many people have used Invisalign clear aligners?

Over 6 million people, including more than 1.4 million teens, have used Invisalign to transform their smiles.

How is Invisalign treatment different than other teeth straightening options?

Unlike braces, Invisalign is removable and virtually invisible. There are no wires or brackets, so you don't need to change the way you brush or floss. Invisalign will give you the freedom to continue to eat all your favorite foods.
I have veneers or crowns. Will Invisalign clear aligners work with them?

It depends. Request an appointment so our team of orthodontists can evaluate your individual needs.
Since having my braces removed, my teeth have shifted. Can Invisalign treatment fix this?

Yes! Invisalign clear aligners can treat nearly all common teeth straightening issues, from simple to complex. Many patients who formerly had braces choose Invisalign as the discrete solution to improve their smile when they experience a shift in their teeth after braces.
I have bridgework on several teeth. Will Invisalign clear aligners still work?

Invisalign is designed to move each tooth individually. Bridgework connects two or more teeth so clear aligners may not be effective.
What's the best way to clean my aligners?

You can brush them with a toothbrush and toothpaste and rinse them in lukewarm water. Never use hot water on your aligners! It could permanently warp the plastic.
Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?

The short answer is: yes. Anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment, whether with braces or Invisalign, will require the use of a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position.
