10 Questions to Ask Your Dentist Before Getting Invisalign

Do you suffer from jaw pain, crowding or protruding teeth, an over or underbite or even gum disease? Did you know that they may all be because of poorly aligned teeth, which should not be left unattended?

While there are many teeth straightening options, Invisalign is one of the best. However, like any other procedure you plan to have, you will always have some doubts to clear.

So here is a list of the questions you may want to ask your dentist about Invisalign in Fort Wayne, to help you make a well-informed choice!

1. How long does the treatment last?

It depends on your teeth and how much alignment it requires. However, the procedure starts by your dentist taking a scan of your teeth, or making a physical impression. The impression is necessary for creating your personalized Invisalign tray for teeth straightening.

2. Do you use Invisalign clear aligners or some other brand?

Most dentists use genuine Invisalign products. Though they are on the expensive side, they are a better and more durable option.

3. Why is Invisalign expensive?

It’s because of the customized clear aligner trays used for teeth straightening. The Invisalign trays are created based on your dental impressions, and are custom-crafted in a laboratory.

4. How long is the treatment?

While most patients end their treatment in 8-10 months it all depends on the patient, and the amount of straightening there is to do.Yet no matter how much alignment your teeth need Invisalign is much quicker at straightening teeth than other teeth straightening options.

5. How much does Invisalign cost?

It once again depends on the patient.

More complex cases needing more time and work will cost more. It’s always better to call your insurance company to find out if your dental plan offers coverage for it.

Don’t worry if you don’t have any coverage.

You can always ask your dentist if they offer monthly payment options. Most dentists do oblige to monthly payments, in a bid to make your Invisalign costs as palatable as possible.

6. How many dental office visits do I have to make to straighten my teeth?

Don’t worry; you don’t have to make that many visits!

You will have to visit your dentist only once every two to three months to get new aligner trays.

However, it is important that you make these visits to get the best results.

7. What do I do if I break or lose an aligner?

It is better to get a replacement done as soon as you lose or break an aligner. It’s because Invisalign has to be worn continuously to reap the best results. They can at the most be removed only while eating.

The longer the delay in getting a replacement, the longer it takes for your teeth alignment.

However, remember that you the replacement aligner isn’t free; you will have to pay for it. That’s why it’s better to take good care of your teeth and Invisalign. This is best done by wearing it all the time so that there’s no chance of breaking or losing it!

8. Is Invisalign an effective teeth straightening option?

Of course, yes! As long as you follow your dentist’s instructions, and wear them continuously you are sure to see results within a few months’ time. You only end up prolonging the process if you don’t follow your doctor’s instructions.

9. Does Invisalign work for adults?

Yes, many adults prefer using Invisalign to get their smiles into alignment! It’s because they can maintain a low-profile while wearing practically invisible Invisalign to straighten their teeth.

10.Why should I align my teeth?

This is the most important and obvious question to ask your dentist.

You may wonder if it’s necessary to straighten teeth or not. Well, you will be surprised that there are more benefits to teeth straightening than improved appearances!

Sometimes your front teeth may seem to be appropriately aligned. Unfortunately, things are not the same with your back teeth. They may not touch or be appropriately aligned, which affects your overall oral health. Besides, they eventually affect your other teeth if not straightened.

Conclusion In short, straightening is important for improved looks, and oral health. Besides, Invisalign is practically invisible, which is why most dentists recommend Invisalign over other teeth-straightening methods.

In addition to your dentist’s recommendation, the answers to these common questions may help YOU make your final, informed decision.
