During your consultation, your doctor will use an iTero scanner to gain a detailed look at your bite. With this information, we will determine if you’re a candidate for Invisalign. We can also give you a simulation of what your smile will look like after treatment. Don't hesitate to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have during this time.
Once you have been approved for Invisalign treatment, your doctor will take scans of your teeth to ensure that your aligners are tailored to fit you perfectly. Once created, you may come to our office to pick up your aligners and start your treatment. If required, small attachments may be added to your teeth by your dentist to help hold the aligners securely in place.
Your treatment timeline is unique, and the frequency of your office visits may vary. Typically, you will visit Suncoast Dental Center every six weeks to receive your next set of aligners. During these visits, we will ensure that your treatment is on track and that your Invisalign trays fit properly. These appointments are essential to the success of your treatment.
Invisalign is generally considered to be more comfortable than traditional braces. However, you may experience some mild discomfort or pressure when you first start wearing a new set of aligners. This is normal and is a sign that your teeth are moving into their new positions. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few days as your mouth adjusts to the new aligners. If you experience persistent pain or severe discomfort, please contact us at Suncoast Dental Center. Dr. Lowell and our team are always here to address any concerns and ensure your Invisalign treatment is as comfortable as possible.
For optimal results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours per day. This means you should only remove them when eating, drinking anything other than water, and for your regular oral hygiene routine. Consistent wear is crucial for the success of your treatment. The more diligent you are about wearing your aligners, the more likely you are to achieve your desired results within the estimated treatment time. Dr. Lowell at Suncoast Dental Center will provide you with detailed instructions on aligner wear and care during your Invisalign treatment.
Absolutely! Invisalign can work with crowns, as long as the crowns are in good condition. Invisalign aligners move teeth through a series of carefully controlled movements. Since crowns are just artificial caps placed over your teeth, they can be moved just like your natural teeth. However, it's important to have a thorough dental examination before starting Invisalign treatment to ensure your crowns and the rest of your teeth are healthy. Dr. Lowell at Suncoast Dental Center has extensive experience in treating patients with crowns using Invisalign.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies from person to person, depending on the complexity of the case. On average, Invisalign treatment typically takes about 12-18 months. However, you may start seeing results in a matter of weeks! Dr. Landon Lowell will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation at Suncoast Dental Center, based on your individual needs and goals.
Invisalign aligners are designed to be removed when you eat or drink anything other than water. This is to prevent staining the aligners or damaging them. So, yes, you can still enjoy your morning cup of coffee with Invisalign! However, it's important to remember to remove your aligners before you sip your coffee. After you're done, rinse your mouth and clean your aligners before putting them back in to prevent staining and maintain good oral hygiene.
This is one of the most common questions we receive at Suncoast Dental Center. The answer is, it depends on your insurance plan. Some insurance plans do provide coverage for orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. It's always best to check with your insurance provider to understand what your policy covers. If your insurance does not cover Invisalign, don't worry. At Suncoast Dental Center, we believe everyone should have access to the smile they desire. That's why we offer flexible payment plans to make Invisalign more affordable for our patients in Naples, FL.
