Invisalign® – Fast, Convenient, Invisible

Are you reluctant to get metal braces for your crooked smile? You’re not alone. Though metal braces are an effective way to straighten your teeth, they do have some major drawbacks. Metal braces are very noticeable and they put a lot of restrictions on what you can eat.

Invisalign solves both these problems — it’s nearly invisible and you simply remove your aligners when it’s time for a meal, so you can eat whatever you want. And treatment with Invisalign is much faster.

Invisalign can be used to treat most of the same issues as metal braces. When you meet with Dr. Burke, he’ll help decide if Invisalign is right for you.

How Invisalign Works

During your consultation with Dr. Burke, he’ll perform a digital scan to get a clear picture of your teeth and the surrounding tissue. He’ll ask you about your treatment goals and help you decide if Invisalign is a good fit for you.

If you decide to straighten your smile with Invisalign, we’ll send them your information so they can start making your aligners right away. Soon, you’ll receive your first set of aligners. Dr. Burke will make sure they fit properly and he’ll continue to monitor your treatment until the process is complete.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign aligners will be moving your teeth to a new position, which can be uncomfortable. Your teeth may feel awkward, especially when you first begin wearing your aligners. After a brief period of adjustment, you’ll get used to wearing your aligners.

Is Invisalign covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans offer coverage for orthodontic care. You can check with your provider to learn more. Feel free to call our office at (772) 905-3655 if you have any additional questions about your coverage or your payment and financing options.

How do you clean and maintain your Invisalign trays?

To clean your Invisalign trays, take them out of your mouth and brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste. Then, rinse them off to ensure no residue is left behind.

Throughout the day, you should brush your teeth any time you eat or drink anything besides water. This will ensure your aligners don’t become stained or damaged.

Can I remove my braces and get Invisalign?

In some cases, it’s possible to change treatment methods. Dr. Burke can address your unique treatment plan and determine if you can switch to Invisalign.

Is Invisalign removable?

Yes, Invisalign aligners are completely removable. You’ll want to make sure you wear your trays for the recommended 20 to 22 hours every day, however.

How long does the Invisalign treatment take?

Invisalign treatment time varies depending on your particular situation. On average, treatment is finished in about 12 months.

What can’t I drink and eat while wearing Invisalign?

There are no restrictions on your diet. You can eat and drink anything you want as long as you remove your aligners before indulging. With your aligners in, stick to water only.

Can you drink alcohol while wearing Invisalign?

Yes, you can remove your aligners to drink alcohol. But make sure to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in — they can get sticky and stained if you don’t.

Can you drink coffee while wearing Invisalign?

Removing your aligners to drink coffee is perfectly acceptable. Brushing your teeth afterward will prevent your aligners from becoming stained or dirty.
