How Invisalign works
We take a digital scan of your teeth, with no messy impressions, and plan each movement on screen so you can see your projected result before you begin. A series of custom aligners is then made for you. Each set is worn for one to two weeks and moves your teeth a small, precise amount. You wear them 20 to 22 hours a day and take them out to eat, brush and floss.
What Invisalign can treat
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite and crossbite
- Teeth that have shifted after braces
- Alignment before cosmetic work such as veneers or whitening
Most adults and teens are candidates. If your case is better served by another approach, Dr. Anagnostakos will tell you so at the consultation.
Our $4,995 Invisalign fee
Our all-inclusive fee covers the consultation and scan, every aligner for the full course of treatment, refinement aligners if they are needed, check-up visits and a set of retainers at the end. There are no add-ons. If your dental plan includes orthodontic benefits, they are applied on top, and monthly payment plans are available through CareCredit and Sunbit.
Why have Invisalign at your family dentist
Dr. Anagnostakos looks after your whole mouth, not just the alignment, so cavities, gum health and any restorative work are coordinated with your aligner treatment. Check-ups are every six to eight weeks at the same office you already visit, and your retainers and ongoing care stay in one place.
Living with aligners
Aligners are nearly invisible, and most patients say nobody noticed them. Speech adjusts within a day or two. Because you remove them to eat, there are no food restrictions and brushing is no harder than usual. Treatment usually takes six to eighteen months depending on how much movement is needed.
