Clear Braces Questions

What are the benefits of Invisalign clear braces?
Invisalign clear braces have many benefits over traditional braces.  The main benefits are:

• Removable – Invisalign clear braces can be removed to eat food and do other things during the day so that you don’t have to restrict foods you enjoy eating, as well as the ability to brush and floss more effectively.
• Invisible – For everybody, image is very important.  Invisalign clear braces can straighten you teeth without calling attention to your teeth.
• Comfortable – Invisalign clear braces use clear plastic aligners that are smooth and do not cause the irritation and soreness traditional braces cause.
• Fast – Most Invisalign clear braces treatments are complete in just about a year.

How long do I have to wear my Invisalign clear braces aligners?
The aligners used in Invisalign clear braces must be worn all day and night except when eating, brushing, and flossing in order to be effective.  Each Invisalign clear braces aligner is worn for about two weeks before it is switched with the next aligner in the series.

How often will I have to visit Dr. Goodrick while wearing Invisalign clear braces?
It is suggested that you visit Dr. Goodrick every six to nine weeks while you are wearing Invisalign clear braces.  This is to ensure that your teeth are shifting appropriately and no complications are arising.

Are Invisalign clear braces painful?
No, Invisalign clear braces are not painful.  Some patients experience sore teeth for a few days when Invisalign clear braces aligners are changed. However, this soreness is usually only experienced for a few days before subsiding.  Since Invisalign clear braces are constructed out of smooth, clear plastic, they do not cause pain or irritation.

How old does an Invisalign clear braces patient have to be?
In order for Invisalign clear braces to be as effective as possible, patients should have their second molars.  Usually, people’s second molars are fully erupted between 12 and 14.  Schedule an initial consultation to determine if you are ready for Invisalign clear braces.

How much do Invisalign clear braces cost?
The cost of Invisalign clear braces depends on many different things.  The amount of straightening you need, the length of your treatment, and the area of the country in which you live all influence the amount of your Invisalign clear braces.  Dr. Goodrick will review the cost of your Invisalign clear braces during your FREE initial consultation.

Also, Dr. Goodrick provides various payment and financing options so that your Invisalign clear braces will be as affordable as possible.

Can any doctor or dentist provide me with Invisalign clear braces?
No.  In order to get Invisalign clear braces, you should visit a dentist that is certified and has experience with Invisalign clear braces and can appropriately evaluate your teeth to determine if Invisalign clear braces are right for you.
