Not everyone is born with straight, healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. Through cosmetic dentistry, however, Dr. Michelle Janbakhsh from Modern Smile Dental can correct a wide range of cosmetic imperfections to help you attain your best smile. When it comes to straightening crooked teeth, there’s no better solution than Invisalign. These FAQs explain more about the value of Invisalign in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and why it’s well worth the cost!
As Invisalign is a customizable treatment, the cost of your procedure will depend a great deal on the length and complexity of your treatment. In many cases, the cost of using Invisalign aligners is comparable to that of using traditional braces to straighten your teeth. Part of this cost is likely to be covered by dental insurance. At Modern Smile Dental, we also offer payment options to help put this treatment within your financial reach.
Invisalign straightens your smile discreetly with clear thermoplastic aligners that offer greater comfort and ease. The aligners can be removed for eating, oral hygiene, and special activities, making it easier to endure a lengthy orthodontic treatment. With Invisalign, you don’t have to watch what you eat or struggle to brush with metal brackets and wires on your teeth. Except for severe malocclusion, most orthodontic issues can be fixed with Invisalign, including crooked teeth, gaps and uneven spacing, overlapping teeth, and crowding. Â
Yes, you can obtain aligners only for your bottom teeth to complete what’s called single-arch treatment. If your bite is stable and healthy, the aligners can be used to correct mild spacing or crowding issues. Dr. Janbakhsh will evaluate your bite and jaw alignment in relation to your top teeth to ensure that correcting your bottom teeth won’t throw your smile off balance.
By correcting major orthodontic issues with your teeth, Invisalign can improve your smile’s health, function, and appearance. If you struggle to eat, smile, brush or maintain good oral health due to misaligned, crowded or gapped teeth, Invisalign can be a game changer! It has the power to transform your smile and life, making it well worth your while!Â
Absolutely! But only if you commit to wearing your retainer after your treatment. You may need to wear it full-time for a few months, and then only at night to keep your teeth from shifting back to their former position. Invisalign retainers are designed for comfort and convenience, making it easy to keep your teeth straight and even. You can even opt for a bonded retainer that attaches to the back of your teeth permanently to keep your smile well-aligned indefinitely.
