Invisalign Cost MarySville, WA

Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth. The aligners are made using precise digital impressions of the teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks and moves the teeth closer to their desired position. The cumulative effect of wearing the aligners results in straight, well-aligned teeth.

Here’s how to clean your Invisalign aligners:

• Rinse with lukewarm water before and after each use to remove any debris or food particles.
• Brush your aligners gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear soap to remove any plaque buildup. Avoid using toothpaste as it can scratch the surface of the aligners.
• Soak your aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals or a denture cleaner for 15 minutes once a week to kill bacteria and freshen the aligners.
• Dry your aligners thoroughly before putting them back in your mouth.

Note: Do not use hot water, hot air or UV light to clean your aligners as it may cause them to warp or discolor. And avoid using alcohol or bleach as they can damage the aligners.

The length of time it takes to complete Invisalign treatment can vary depending on the individual case, but on average it takes about 12 to 18 months to achieve the desired result. However, some mild cases may take as little as 6 months, while more complex cases may take up to 24 months or longer. Our dentist or orthodontist at Smile Marysville can give you a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs. Keep in mind that the length of treatment is largely dependent on consistent and proper use of the aligners as prescribed.
